Celestial Garden Wedding
Scope: Full-Service Wedding Planning & Design
For this enchanting outdoor wedding, the theme was "under the stars meets secret garden." Sophia designed a celestial-inspired ceremony with a custom-built arch adorned with cascading wisteria, twinkling fairy lights, and gold accents to evoke a starlit sky. The reception featured a sophisticated palette of navy, blush, and metallic gold, with custom calligraphy menus and starry table runners. Guests enjoyed a five-course farm-to-table dinner under a canopy of string lights and an after-dinner surprise of gourmet s’mores by a fire pit. This project showcased Sophia’s ability to blend romance and creativity into a flawless, memorable event.
