Artful Romance: Lilly & Ben’s Whimsical Garden Celebration

Artful Romance: Lilly & Ben’s Whimsical Garden Celebration

Lilly and Ben’s wedding felt like walking into a living art installation — thoughtful, textured, and filled with symbolic beauty.

Their ceremony began beneath towering sculptural paper flowers, handcrafted to create a breathtaking backdrop that was equal parts modern art and fairy tale. These larger-than-life blooms set the tone for a celebration that was anything but ordinary — intimate, emotional, and deeply intentional.

Guests were then guided to the reception space, where wooden feasting tables were layered with soft linen textures and accented with seasonal fruit nestled among the place settings. Pomegranates, pears, and figs added a warm, natural touch — like still-life paintings brought to life — perfectly complementing the rich wooden tones and soft candlelight.

In a deeply personal touch, each table was named after a special person in the couple’s life — an ode to the ones who shaped their story. Instead of numbers, guests found themselves seated at “Nanna Jean,” “Charlie & Lila,” or “Mr. Thompson,” each name carrying a quiet significance and sparking beautiful conversations throughout the evening.

And then… the seating chart. Not just a chart, but an experience. A seven-panel linen installation that guests wandered through like an exhibition — flowing, layered, and immersive. Each section unfolded part of the story, guiding loved ones to their seat while wrapping them in the mood of the day. It was bold in scale, soft in tone, and truly unforgettable.

Lilly and Ben’s wedding was the perfect blend of organic textures, heartfelt meaning, and creative spirit — the kind of day where the details didn’t just decorate the space, they told a story.

It was an honour to help bring their vision to life, one thoughtful layer at a time.
