Kelsey and Noah’s wedding at Ethereal Gardens was the definition of lush, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. Tucked away in a garden oasis, Ethereal Gardens feels like stepping into another world, one filled with layered greenery, blooming plants, and florals woven seamlessly throughout the space. Every corner feels intentional yet organic, making it the perfect backdrop for a wedding that leans into natural beauty while still feeling refined and elevated.

The day began on site in the venue’s private suites, where Kelsey and Noah got ready surrounded by their closest friends. The bridesmaids wore stunning silk chocolate brown dresses that added warmth and richness to the day’s palette, while the groomsmen looked timeless in classic black tuxedos. Thoughtfully designed bouquets and boutonnieres tied everything together, echoing the greenery-forward aesthetic that carried through the entire celebration.

One of the most special moments of the day was their first look. Set against the lush greenery of the venue, Noah’s reaction to seeing Kelsey for the first time was incredibly sweet and heartfelt. The two shared private vows in a quiet, intimate moment that felt deeply personal, just the two of them, surrounded by nature and the calm beauty of Ethereal Gardens.

Their ceremony space was nothing short of dreamy. A grounded floral arch framed the altar, complemented by aisle markers and warm wooden cross-back chairs. Guests were welcomed with a custom welcome sign styled on a white pedestal and adorned with gorgeous florals, alongside a wooden welcome table that felt modern and inviting. One of our favorite details was their coffee-table style welcome book filled with engagement photos, a personal and stylish touch that guests loved flipping through.

Ethereal Gardens truly shines during the ceremony. With a built-in greenery installation creating the illusion of a living ceiling, the space felt immersive and lush. The long, dramatic aisle added to the space, making for breathtaking moments — especially as Kelsey and Noah walked back up the aisle together, beaming and full of joy.

Cocktail hour offered the perfect transition into the evening. Guests enjoyed tasty cocktails and appetizers while exploring both the indoor bar space, which gave off subtle speakeasy vibes, and the outdoor lounge area filled with high and low cocktail tables. A stunning green seating chart adorned with florals became a standout moment, blending seamlessly with the surrounding garden atmosphere.

As the sun began to set, Kelsey and Noah snuck away for golden hour portraits. The lighting was incredible, creating soft, glowing images filled with movement, laughter, and playful moments that perfectly reflected their connection. After soaking in those quiet moments together, they made their way back to the reception to celebrate with their guests.

The reception space was beautifully layered with a thoughtful mix of draped white round tables and long farm tables, creating depth and visual interest throughout the room. Light wood bentwood chairs added a warm, organic touch that complemented the natural surroundings of Ethereal Gardens. Each place setting featured handmade stationery and green dinner plates, tying seamlessly into the overall design palette. Modern green and white floral arrangements flowed effortlessly across the tables, bringing freshness and softness to the space while enhancing the lush, garden-inspired atmosphere and setting the tone for an unforgettable evening of celebration.

The night officially kicked off with a fun grand entrance leading straight into their first dance, setting the tone for an evening filled with laughter, dancing, cake, desserts, and so many meaningful moments. Kelsey and Noah’s wedding was a true celebration of love, thoughtfully designed and joyfully experienced from start to finish.
