Amanda & Blake’s Elegant Garden Wedding at Winterthur

Amanda and Blake’s wedding at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library was a celebration of timeless love wrapped in sophisticated charm. From garden pathways and sweeping floral installations to sparkling lights under a clear-top tent, every element was curated with intention, grace, and heart. It was a wedding that truly embodied effortless elegance, grounded in tradition, yet alive with modern beauty.

A Sentimental Start with Details to Swoon Over

The day began with thoughtful details that told Amanda and Blake’s story in the most beautiful way. Their invitation suite, classic ivory and soft green with a hand-illustrated envelope liner — set the tone for a romantic garden affair. Amanda’s Loeffler Randall heels and vintage-inspired rings nestled in a golden velvet box were just a few of the carefully chosen touches that brought softness and style to the morning.

Portraits with Historic Backdrop Charm

Surrounded by their joyful wedding party, Amanda and Blake took portraits in one of Winterthur’s most iconic spaces, the glass conservatory. Bridesmaids wore soft floral gowns in pale yellows and neutrals, and the groomsmen looked timeless in black tuxedos. Amanda’s gown was an absolute showstopper: sleek and structured with a full skirt and a touch of old-Hollywood glam. Blake’s tailored tux and genuine smile made the perfect match.

A Garden Ceremony Framed by Nature

Guests were guided into a tucked-away garden for the ceremony, where lush greenery and stone walls created a natural amphitheater. Amanda, escorted by both her parents, entered through a vine-covered iron arch, her cathedral-length veil trailing behind her like something out of a fairytale.

At the altar, a towering floral chuppah of white and green blooms stood against the warm stone wall. The ceremony, rich with Jewish tradition and heartfelt vows, felt both intimate and sacred, framed perfectly by golden light streaming through the trees.

A Reception that Glowed with Romance

As the sun set, guests entered a transparent tent strung with hundreds of twinkling fairy lights that looked like starlight. The reception décor was a refined blend of neutral tones — creamy whites, soft greens, and golden candlelight. Black and ivory checkered floors added a playful punch, while the tablescapes were dressed in crisp linens, glass chargers, and low, loose florals that felt freshly gathered from a garden.

The custom escort card wall, dark green with ivory envelopes sealed in wax and finished with emerald tassels, was a true showpiece. Each envelope held a handwritten note from Amanda and Blake, adding a deeply personal touch that had guests tearing up before they even found their tables.

Signature Sips & Custom Details

Even the bar was a work of art, with the chinoiserie tree scenes that matched the invitation liner. A grand white vase of yellow blooms stood front and center, welcoming guests to sip signature cocktails and enjoy the ambiance of the evening.

Amanda and Blake, your wedding was the perfect balance of elegant tradition and warm, genuine celebration. Winterthur was the dreamiest setting for your beginning, and your day reflected everything that matters most: love, family, and the beauty of being fully present.
