A Bright and Cheerful Summer Wedding at the Duke Mansion

Julie and Dhruv

When Julie and Dhruv came to us four months before their wedding day, they had a clear vision: a vibrant, joyous celebration that would reflect their personalities, love, and the beauty of summer. With such a short timeline, the pressure was on, but Julie and Dhruv’s quick decision-making and trust in our planning process made this wedding come together seamlessly.

The Duke Mansion, with its historic charm and lush gardens, was the perfect backdrop for their big day. Together, we brought their dream wedding to life with a stellar team of vendors and design elements that set the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration.

A Garden Ceremony Full of Color

The ceremony took place in the Duke Mansion’s enchanting gardens, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Guests were greeted by a stunning statement deconstructed arch that served as the focal point. The arch was a work of art, overflowing with lush florals in a vibrant citrus palette that immediately brought an energetic, fresh vibe to the day. From rich oranges to zesty yellows and pops of pink, the florals were the perfect representation of Julie and Dhruv’s bright and cheerful personalities.

As the couple exchanged vows surrounded by nature, there was a palpable sense of love and joy that set the tone for the rest of the day.

Cocktail Hour in the Courtyard

After the ceremony, guests moved to the charming courtyard for cocktail hour. The space was buzzing with excitement as guests sipped on signature cocktails specially crafted for the occasion. Our butler-passed appetizers, each bite bursting with flavor, were a hit, allowing guests to mingle and enjoy the beautiful summer weather. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and filled with laughter—just what Julie and Dhruv had envisioned for their celebration.

A Dinner Like No Other

When it was time for dinner, guests were welcomed into the dinner tent, where we had created a truly unique atmosphere. Custom draping softened the space, while a distinctive seating arrangement ensured that everyone had an intimate and memorable dining experience. The custom paper and tabletop rentals added a personal touch, bringing Julie and Dhruv’s vision to life with intricate details that complemented the colorful florals throughout the event.

Lush florals continued to steal the show, with vibrant blooms in every corner of the space, creating a whimsical, almost magical ambiance for dinner. Every element was carefully curated, from the design to the execution, ensuring the couple’s vision was flawlessly realized.

A Rocking Dance Floor to End the Night

No wedding would be complete without dancing, and Julie and Dhruv’s wedding ended with a bang! The dance floor was filled with energy as the incredible live band played all of the couple’s favorite tunes. To amp up the fun, we created a stunning stage front overflowing with flowers that became a major visual highlight of the night.

To make the evening even more relaxed and fun, we designed a cozy lounge area with custom pillows, giving guests a place to unwind and chat as the night carried on. With flowing drinks and an electric atmosphere, the party was in full swing until the very last song.

A Wedding to Remember

Julie and Dhruv’s summer wedding was everything they hoped for and more: colorful, joyful, and full of life. From the lush garden ceremony to the vibrant dinner and unforgettable dance party, every moment was a celebration of love and happiness. We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to work with, and we’re so grateful to have been part of their special day.

Thank you to our amazing vendor team who brought this vision to life and helped make this wedding truly magical. Here’s to a lifetime of love, joy, and bright, colorful memories for Julie and Dhruv!
