Spring Garden Party Inspired Wedding at The Harding Allen Estate

Kaitlin and Tyler's summer wedding at The Harding Allen Estate was inspired by a relaxed spring garden party vibe. They wanted to incorporate beautiful flowers, one of Kaitlin's favorite things in the world (ours too!), with white peonies as a must-have. 

Preferred Vendor at the Harding Allen Estate

The Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA, is nestled in the rural countryside, but only about 25 minutes from Worcester. The estate was built a century ago during the Roaring Twenties, which lends to the opulent design of this bygone era. We love working at historical estates throughout New England, and this has to be one of our favorites; we are honored to be a Preferred Vendor at the Harding Allen.

We love working with their team and creating beautiful designs that shine at this beautiful venue.  

A Dreamy Spring Garden Party Inspired Color Palette And Locally Grown Blooms 

Kaitling and Tyler were inspired by a relaxed, spring garden party vibe. They were looking to include a color palette with sage, soft greens, lavender, lilac, and blues. 

The bride loved that we grow a lot of our own flowers and appreciated that members of our team work and volunteer at  Nicewicz Peony Farm since peonies are one of her favorite flowers. We loved incorporating them throughout the designs, especially in her bridal bouquet. 

The bride chose monofloral bouquets for her bridesmaids - one of the hottest trends for bridesmaids bouquets this past year! It's a great way to give each floral variety their moment. We used florals from Kaitlin's bouquet to give a coordinated look. 

The Most Sentimental Bouquet 

Floral designs can hold so much more than beautiful blooms. Kaitlin’s father was a tennis player, and we wrapped her bouquet in his tennis grip tape and fabric from her mother’s wedding dress. Tucked inside the bouquet were delicate fabric and pearl rosettes made from her mother’s wedding gown, transformed into floral stems we incorporated into her bouquet. The sweetest surprise from her mom!

I met Kaitlin and her mom on my birthday last year and immediately felt connected. It was such an honor to be able to design for them and incorporate these thoughtful touches that were so meaningful. Every detail was a tribute. A love letter. A way to carry her people with her, down the aisle and into this next chapter. 

Why We Love Designing at The Harding Allen Estate 

The Harding Allen Estate is filled with romantic gardens of a bygone era, featuring historic elegance and charming details. The English-style gardens and ivy-covered stone walls create a beautiful backdrop for florals. It's a space where florals really shine, as they fit right in with the timeless botanical beauty at the venue. 

Congratulations to Kaitlin and Tyler

Congratulations, Kaitlin and Tyler! Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your day and create something so deeply personal! xo
