The concept
A city wedding that behaved like a country one. Meher grew up in this garden; the design brief was to change as little of it as possible and light it beautifully.
Design story
Forest green and antique gold, drawn straight from the garden at dusk. We hung two hundred glass lanterns from the existing canopy and built nothing taller than the hedges.
Decor
- Two hundred mouth-blown glass lanterns in the tree canopy
- Ivory garden roses, hellebore and trailing smilax
- Antique gold charger plates with hand-torn linen napkins
- A tented winter lounge with wool throws and braziers
