Andrea + Shawn

Oct 2

In early September, Andrea and Shawn celebrated their wedding at Iris Aisle. Andrea got ready in the Couple's Cabin, wearing a blush dress with a sheer floral lace layer and a long, colorfully embroidered veil. Her bouquet was a mix of peach, pink, and yellow dahlias with eucalyptus. Shawn dressed in the Lotus Bell Tent, opting for a grey suit with a teal tie, a white button-down shirt, and custom cufflinks. The couple's first look took place in front of the Conservatory, tucked just out of sight. After a moment together, they joined family and the wedding party for formal photos inside the Conservatory.

For their ceremony, Andrea and Shawn requested an unplugged experience as guests entered the greenhouse, creating an intimate atmosphere. The Conservatory’s tropical plants and hanging ferns provided a lush backdrop for their sweet ceremony. The reception was held outdoors in the clearing, with farm tables arranged in long rows. The tables were decorated with soft green moss, colorful dahlia arrangements, candlesticks, and vintage glass vases. Packets of wildflower seeds were given to guests as a memento.

Catering was provided by Off The Griddle, who served a variety of dishes from their bright green food truck, including brisket tacos, grinders, mac & cheese, french fries, and baked beans. For dessert, guests enjoyed scotcheroos, pumpkin bars, and cupcakes, and the couple cut a small white cake. The evening continued with guests playing yard games and watching the couple's first dance in the Conservatory. Heather Ferreria was there throughout the day to capture all the sweet and special moments from Andrea & Shawn’s big day – take a look at her photos below!
