L‘Amour en Été: A French Garden Wedding Celebration at Fox Hollow Farm

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]Shantel Wall Photography, A La Chloe, and Sweet and Soul Design collaborated to conceptualize this summer wedding inspiration. They found their muse in the dreamy hues of delphiniums. Imagining these flowers suspended to create a floral ceiling sparked the design of a vibrant, French garden-style wedding, replete with whimsical and colorful details. Set against the backdrop of Fox Hollow’s summer garden, the reception setting was both enchanting and intimate.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Blush, Dusty Rose, Pastel Purple, Ivory[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]Fox Hollow Farm features two country estate settings located in the foothills of Issaquah’s mountains, just 30 minutes outside of downtown Seattle. Manicured gardens, wooded hills, a rustic barn and trickling creek surround the historic 1940s manor, available for overnight stays for you and your guests.

Fox Hollow is a working farm growing produce and herbs year-round for the Landmark farm-to-table catering program. These crops provide delicious, locally grown produce for our seasonal menus.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The bride was resplendent in a blush ballerina ballgown by the renowned designer Galia Lahav, a dramatic and ethereal creation that perfectly captured the essence of elegance and romance. This exquisite gown, available locally at Nyanza Bridal in Seattle, is crafted from pleated silk tulle in delicate shades of ivory and blush, offering a vision of dreamy softness and grace. Named Bellina, the gown features a striking embroidered embellishment at the chest that gracefully leads to an elegant wrap-around, off-the-shoulder sleeve design. This design not only enhances the romantic silhouette but also adds a touch of timeless sophistication, making the bride the centerpiece of her wedding day.[/field]

These dresses harmonize with the bride’s airy gown and the floral decor, creating a cohesive and enchanting aesthetic.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]A la Chloe created an enchanting wedding setup featuring two grand arches adorned with beautiful pastel garden roses, seasonal greenery, and striking flowers like allium and Verbascum for a majestic entrance. For the reception, the team curated a romantic atmosphere that captivated the senses with dramatic hanging installations of pink, violet, and white delphinium and larkspur, intertwined with sparkling chandeliers. The ambiance was further enhanced with elegant rhythmical centerpieces, each thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of timeless romance and ethereal beauty.[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]In crafting a truly immersive environment, Sweet and Soul Design designed a French-style seating and bar area. This space, adorned with the exquisite vintage collections from Vintage Ambiance, offered an elegant and comfortable retreat for the couple and their guests. Each element of the wedding design was thoughtfully chosen to create an unforgettable celebration, where every detail resonated with the beauty and charm of a summer day in a French garden.

The wedding cake, crafted by Cake and Crumble, showcased the innovative and artistic vision of its creator, drawing inspiration from the intricate art form of quilling. This particular design element was motivated by the beautiful pattern of the bride’s wedding gown.

Scripted Sketches incorporated floral illustrations into the wedding suite as well as dried petals into the wax seal on the menus to create a whimsical and cohesive design. These elements not only tied in beautifully with the hanging arrangements above the table but enhanced the overall garden aesthetic.[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]To enhance the experience and offer respite from the warmth, the team incorporated a charming ice cream stand by Aha Sugar Co. The ice cream cones, a nod to their color theme, were not only visual delights but also treats for the palate. Capturing the essence of the magical ceremony was Art by Elina, whose art painting transformed fleeting moments into eternal memories. The ambiance was further elevated by the melodious harmonies of Seattle Strings, adding a serene soundtrack to the special day.[/field]
