Garden Glamour

Feeling like a princess on your wedding day is something that every one of us has felt since we were children. 

The moment you walk into Friendship Gardens, you immediately feel like you are walking into a life-sized fairy garden. Each corner and turn you look, you are instantly in awe of the beauty of the landscaping. 

Friendship Gardens provides many choices of different locations to have your ceremony and reception. For this stylized shoot, we choose the Symphony Garden for the ceremony. The pond in the middle of the walkway was simply stunning. The reception took place inside and around the Celebration Pavilion overlooking the Rose Garden. 

Our model, Alivia, looked like a Disney princess in her gown provided by Simply Yours Bridal. The puff sleeves are removable if you would prefer to have them off during the reception, giving the gown a completely different look.

Burns Special Events created an elegant and magical stylized shoot, perfectly complementing the garden setting with a lush floral theme. The arrangements featured a stunning selection of blooms, including Miss Marble carnations, Showtime anthuriums, hanging amaranthus, stock, achillea, Four Seasons roses, lisianthus, hellebore, foxtail ferns, variegated pittosporum, calla lilies, Persuasion roses, gloriosas, and Café Latte roses.

The color palette of hunter green, cream, gold, and magenta beautifully accented the wood chairs and pavilion. The lounge area was a thoughtful addition, offering guests a cozy spot to relax and chat while you and your bridal party capture your photos. 

Katherine Murray from KC James Creative is such a joy to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captures the most beautiful photos. Her creative mind and vision will be shown in each and every photo she takes!

Merle Norman created a breathtaking natural look for Alivia’s makeup! The slightly smokey eye paired with a rosy lip perfectly complemented her youthful grace. Top Knot Bridal embraced the gown’s princess vibe with a half-up hairstyle featuring cascading curls. We adored the loose braid accented with pearls.

Looking for a one-of-a-kind cake that’s a true centerpiece? Designer Desserts exceeds expectations. This all-white cake with a color melting design on the bottom tier stood out, complemented by floral accents in the middle. The individual mini cupcakes are always a crowd favorite!
