Gabrielle + Will’s Castle Hill Inn Wedding

Gabrielle and Will’s Castle Hill Inn wedding was one of the highlights of my year – I’m not sure where to begin with how lovely this day was! For starters, this couple is just the sweetest. They were so trusting and flexible, and I have loved getting to know them over the course of their engagement!

Their Castle Hill Inn wedding was filled to the brim with the loveliest details and nods to their personalities. Gabrielle and Will are adventurers at heart, and much of their wedding was geared towards providing a wonderful and immersive experience for their guests. An “Adventure Awaits” escort card wall included globes hand-lettered by Wouldn’t It Be Lovely with meaningful destinations and paper airplanes for each guest. 

The bride wanted the head table to feel as though you were dining amongst the flowers in an upside down garden. Together, Leila James Events and Stoneblossom Florals designed a stunning hanging trellis in the Castle Hill Inn tent adorned with a mixture of whites and blues to complement their overall color palette. Such a show-stopping design element and one of the prettiest receptions I’ve ever photographed. Plus, y’all know how I feel about a blue color palette!

Coastal hues carried over to the dance floor, where Serena and Lily wallpaper bordered by lush floral provided a beautiful backdrop to the evening’s activities. Additionally, two bars providing signature cocktails featured custom seagrass Serena and Lily wallpaper. 

Both Gabrielle and Will wore meaningful details as well – her a necklace from her mother using a repurposed family diamond and him a watch once worn by his late brother.

Straight out of a dream, right? This wedding was full to the brim with intentionally curated details and beautiful moments – it was a joy to be a part of it!

Congrats again, Gabrielle and Will!
