Earthy Elegance at Felina: An Organic Autumn Celebration
A study in contrast where neoclassical structure met organic warmth, this autumn celebration was designed to feel both elegant and grounded. The result was an atmosphere rich in texture, candlelight, and emotion, transforming a classic architectural space into an enchanting, nature-inspired experience.
A Vision Rooted in Nature
The creative direction centered on juxtaposition and the idea of Mother Nature reclaiming a grand historic setting. We leaned into natural movement, layered materials, and soft tonal contrast to create a sense of warmth and intention throughout the space.
From Concept to Creation
We collaborated closely with Made of Leaves Floral to bring this vision to life. Sprawling vines climbed along banisters while towering tree-like centerpieces and botanical textures blurred the line between indoors and out. Candlelight, natural tones, and organic structure gave the celebration its distinctive sense of calm and enchantment.
Details with Meaning
Personal touches were layered throughout. The “Seating in Bloom” escort display combined oversized floral vessels with stacks of the couple’s favorite books — more than thirty in total — a heartfelt nod to their shared love of reading.
Custom oval menus, olive green linen napkins, and clusters of bud vases and lanterns added texture and intimacy to the dining experience, making every table feel personal and alive.
A First Dance to Remember
Their first dance took place privately above the reception space during cocktail hour, a cinematic moment that perfectly reflected their connection and the quiet joy that anchored the evening.
A Celebration with Purpose
In lieu of traditional favors, each guest was welcomed with rainbow-hued French macarons from Woops Bakery, paired with custom tags and QR codes linking to The Trevor Project. The couple made a donation on behalf of their guests and invited additional contributions, transforming dessert into an act of generosity and advocacy.Personalized Elegance
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed creating the aesthetic and experience for this wedding celebration. From the customized oval dinner menus, olive green linen napkins, to the textured bud vases and lanterns, personal touches and funky details were woven throughout.
Personalized Elegance
From concept to execution, this celebration was a reminder that earthy can still be elevated, and that meaningful design always begins with heart and intention.
