A Garden Romance at Winterthur: Julia & Mike’s Elegant Wedding Day

From the moment guests stepped into Juli and Mike’s wedding celebration at Winterthur, they were transported into a romantic garden fairytale. With lush blooms in soft blush, peach, and ivory tones, the day was nothing short of enchanting.

A Refined Garden Aesthetic

The reception space was a dreamy vision beneath a clear-top tent draped with flowing ivory fabric and strung with twinkling lights. Delicate florals by the incredibly talented design team cascaded from every surface, from elevated floral chandeliers above the black and white dance floor to charming arrangements at each table. The palette was soft, feminine, and sophisticated, perfectly complementing the June garden surroundings.

Tables were dressed in crisp white linens, topped with blush napkins, custom menus tied with velvet ribbon, and elegant clusters of garden roses, peonies, and sweet peas. Tall taper candles in glass hurricanes added a soft glow, while the sleek black chairs brought a modern edge to the otherwise ethereal tablescape.

Signature Details with Personal Touches

Guests were welcomed to cocktail hour with a signature drink — “The Hudson Spritz,” named after the couple’s beloved pup, Hudson. The bar, styled with whimsical florals and a custom sign, set the tone for a celebration full of heart. A wooden trellis display doubled as the escort card installation, adorned with florals and greenery to blend seamlessly into the garden setting.

And speaking of Hudson, he stole hearts in his custom tuxedo, lounging sweetly while his humans got ready. Incorporating their dog into the day added warmth and personality that guests (and photographers) adored.

Dining, Dancing & Dreamy Moments

Dinner featured a seasonally-inspired menu that included strawberry salad, garlic hanger steak, and potato gnocchi, each detail beautifully presented on artisan menus. The sweetheart table was nestled beneath a grand floral installation, surrounded by candlelight and more blooms spilling to the ground.

As the sun set, thousands of fairy lights twinkled overhead, turning the reception tent into a starlit haven. Juli and Mike shared their first dance surrounded by family and friends, bathed in golden light and joyful tears.

An Unforgettable Celebration of Love

From soft romantic details to meaningful personal touches, Juli and Mike’s wedding was a celebration of elegance, intimacy, and natural beauty. Every element, from the perfectly curated flowers to the glowing ambiance, created a magical experience guests will never forget.

Cheers to the sweetest couple and their unforgettable day at Winterthur!
