When Jessica & Dillon envisioned their wedding day, they wanted it to be timeless and romantic. They knew they wanted to get married at Hotel Crescent Court after falling in love with the architecture. In fact, that garden is where they got engaged! It was the perfect blend of beautiful gardens with the contemporary vibe of the hotel.

The Venue

The couple truly enjoyed taking their formal photos throughout Hotel Crescent Court - there were so many spaces that were interesting and beautiful. The details on the historic buildings make each photo unique.

The Ceremony

The Moon Arch designed by Petals Couture was a show stopper. Lush with burgundy, blush, and ivory flowers and greenery, it both blended with the courtyard garden as well as made an impact. Jessica wanted the ceremony to have a classic feel as well as have some pin-worthy elements. The Moon Arch was moved after the ceremony behind the head table so it could add some more floral to the Gallery Ballroom.

The Details

The contemporary elements were throughout the entire wedding. Starting with simple, modern invitation suites that mirrored the structure of the architecture. The burgundy was the color in pop the flowers as well as the bridesmaid's dresses.

The Reception

The reception was in the Gallery Ballroom on the second floor of The Crescent. It's neutral tones and elegant details made the perfect space to celebrate. The tables were layered with detailed place settings, candlelight, and a mix of lush tall and low floral arrangements. The gold script table numbers were another fun detail.

As guests arrived they came upon the modern escort card display, made out of acrylic and wood. It was created by the couple's family as a gift. Each guest's name was handwritten and displayed for them to find their tables.

This timeless, contemporary wedding brought out the beauty of Hotel Crescent Court in a stunning and elegant way.

Marissa & Justin's wedding was a fairy tale come true. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was decked out in burgundy and shades of purple flowers. The day was a perfect fall day and the vibe was elegant, fun, and lavish. The Grand Ivory has a crisp white, open-air chapel where the couple said their vows, and the reception was held in the white, modern barn right next door.

One of the most beautiful elements of the open-air chapel is the antique wood doors that you enter through. Marissa describes her favorite moment was seeing Justin's face as those doors opened and he saw her for the first time. The doors allow for that "wow" factor as the bride is revealed.

The ceremony had candles and floral aisle markers on acrylic pillars leading down to the front with tall, lush floral on more pillars. The lake in the background and candlelight made the space inviting and romantic.

One fun detail was the couple handed out black sunglasses for the guests with a sign that said, "Don't let our love blind you". Such a cute and functional favor!

To say there were layers upon layers of beauty on the tables would be an understatement. There were hundreds of candles and flowers on the tables complete with a full place setting and silver chargers. Custom acrylic boxes were created just for the low and lush centerpieces to sit on. The tall centerpieces seemed to float on their glass vases. There was a menu at each setting that detailed four different food stations for the guests to enjoy.

Family style seating was incorporated with typical round tables to give more of a mingling, all-inclusive vibe. Acrylic chairs were a splurge item and added a modern element that didn't distract from the overall decor.

The cake was on an acrylic cake stand that had burgundy and purple floral buds under it. The cake itself was truly unique as it had a floral pattern on the bottom layer that matched the bride's dress. It also incorporated some watercolor in their colors as well as an "R" on the top layer.

The head table had a silver sequin specialty linen that made a statement. It was complete with flowers that covered it and candles all around. It was a table fit for the couple of honor.

Marissa & Justin's wedding day was stunning and over-the-top with the floral and design details. They wanted a wedding that was beautiful but also fun for their guests. The photo below shows Marissa & Justin seeing their reception for the first time and by the looks on their faces I would say it was a success!
