This Springtime Soiree is What Happens When California Style Meets European Garden Party


[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]

As the springtime breeze whispered through the verdant grounds of Haven Ridge, this California-style European garden party soirée unfolded within the charming confines of the Little Chapel’s new Victorian-style solarium. Orchestrated by the creative minds at Humble Jade Events and Design and Everything Pretty Collective, this wedding inspiration was a celebration of the season’s vibrant embrace. As the day progressed, the solarium became a theater of light and color. Guests moved through a space transformed, each detail a note in a visual symphony that celebrated the union of nature and design. It was a photoshoot that not only captured the essence of spring at Haven Ridge but also the spirit of innovation that drives Humble Jade Events and Design. Every element sang in harmony, creating an experience that was as unforgettable as it was beautiful. It was a reminder that in the right hands, a space can become more than just a backdrop—it can become a story. Our photographer, Danielle Flake Photography, was keen to capture every detail that this light and space offered.

Fuchsia, Bright Pinks, Sunset Orange, Tangerine, Chartreuse. The venue’s stunning grounds, kissed by the tender hues of spring, served as the canvas for this artistic endeavor. Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounded them, the designers set out to infuse the solarium with a palette that echoed the boldness of spring’s awakening. Bright pinks and vivacious orange tones bloomed across the setting, their floral vibrancy a mainstay of the day’s color story. Yet, amidst this burst of color, there was a deliberate play of contrasts. Neutral textures were woven into the design, their subtlety a perfect complement to the solarium’s ever-changing light. From the crisp clarity of daylight to the golden glow of sunset, these elements gleamed, adding a dynamic visual rhythm to the space.

The tablescape became a focal point of balance and beauty. Honey-toned candles and table lamps cast a warm, inviting light, their amber radiance harmonizing with the surrounding florals. It was a tableau that spoke of elegance and warmth, a testament to the meticulous planning and stylistic flair of the event’s designers. Drawing from the planner’s California roots, the styling incorporated natural rattan woods and simplistic elements. These materials, known for their earthy charm and durability, added a layer of organic texture to the setting. The result was a design that felt both grounded and ethereal, a nod to the planner’s heritage and her ability to blend the rustic with the refined.

[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]The harmony of florals and stationery truly brought this stunning day to life. Dominique from Thoughtfully Yours curated a stationery collection that reflected the romance and elegance of European greenhouses from the Victorian Era or as in France “The Belle Époque” or “The Beautiful Age”. The designs were inspired by the vibrant garden florals and luxurious textures, intentionally curated with a cohesive design from the invitation suite through day-of stationery – filled with hand calligraphy, original floral art, and vintage motifs.

Kristin with Everything Pretty Collective made it a point to lean into the unique charm of the venue while dreaming up floral inspiration for the shoot. In a refreshing departure from traditional ceremony installations, the solarium came alive with a vibrant array of potted plants, bringing the essence of an enchanting garden indoors. Delicately placed florals danced along the table top of the reception space. The pops of color and texture were a true celebration of nature’s beauty, expertly crafted to create a feast for the senses![/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]

Textures and Hues: Embrace a variety of textures and hues to create a multidimensional effect. Use fabrics with a sheen to catch the light beautifully. Floral Pairings: Coordinate the colors of your florals with other elements like candles to create a cohesive look. Peach tones with honey shades can add a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pop of Color: Don’t be afraid to add a bold pop of color, like a pink lip, to keep the look fresh and timeless. Lighting: Utilize natural light to enhance the textures and colors. As the day progresses, introduce warm-toned lighting to maintain the ambiance. Stationery: Choose stationery that complements the theme, with hand calligraphy, floral art, and vintage motifs to reflect the romance and elegance of the setting. Napkin Folding: Add a unique touch to your tablescape with creatively folded napkins. Fold them to resemble a fan, which adds height and an interesting visual element to each place setting.

[field title=”DIY Moments”]From the muted jacquard florals in the bride’s shoes and dress to the signature drinks of a Traditional Elderfashioned and a Chamomile Collin, to the curated welcome baskets filled with local goods like tea, honey, macarons, and custom wrapped wine from North Carolina artisans, florals were creatively rooted in each element of the day.[/field]
