Romance was in full bloom at this European-inspired styled shoot at Pedretti Party Barn. With glowing overhead lights, warm wooden backdrops, and airy white draping, the barn effortlessly transformed into a scene from a French countryside garden party.


The design began with florals by Wildflower Special Events, whose skillful arrangements included a dramatic flower arch, lush centerpieces, and a hand-tied bouquet. Dusty blue delphinium, soft peach and white roses, hydrangea, and climbing greens created an effortlessly romantic aesthetic throughout every vignette. Several bouquets were displayed in blue and white pottery reminiscent of French toile de jouy.

At the reception table, layers of texture and tone made for a stunning experience. Dusty blue chair ties, blue-tinted glassware, and delicate candlelight played beautifully against gold-rimmed plates with vintage floral detail. Other details included an acrylic table number, a textured table runner, and a miniature Eiffel Tower as a playful nod to Paris.



The bride wore an ethereal gown from Bridal Boutique, featuring a sweetheart neckline, structured illusion corset bodice, and voluminous tulle skirt embroidered with romantic floral patterns. Soft tulle shoulder ties and elbow-length gloves completed the look, marrying fashion-forward structure with soft, storybook charm.


Siena Does Hair styled the bride with a loose, romantic updo, while Beauty by Serena enhanced her features with a soft smoky eye, sculpted brows, and just the right amount of blush to warm the cheeks.


The lounge space featured a neutral cream couch, a vintage side table, and a patterned rug, with delicate floral accents adding softness and charm. Lounges like this offer guests a cozy spot to relax, chat, and soak in the atmosphere--blending comfort with elegance in the most thoughtful way.

 


Photographer Chelsea Daniels captured both crisp, editorial-style images that preserved the details while also providing an artistic arc with dreamy, romantically blurred shots. Her lens brought out the soul of the shoot, from the tiniest accents to the sweeping floral arch.



The cake by Cowboy David's was a showstopper in itself--a five-tier, square design with vertical texture, floral accents, and a petite Eiffel Tower topper for one more nod to the European garden theme.
