On 20 acres of natural beauty, The Farm at Dover is the perfect balance of rustic and elegant, making for magical matrimony, styled by The Darling Wedding Co. (opposite page) Suspended above an intimate, elegant tablescape, this enchanting floral cloud includes natural pampas grass, bleached plume reeds, tall wild grass, bunny tail, fern with dried broom bloom, limonium and sun palm spears, designed by Evoke Chancy Floral.

The groom makes a statement in a tan suit paired with a light pink bowtie from Nedrebo’s Formal Wear. The boutonnière by 414loral features bunny tail, snowberry and bleached Israeli ruscus, gathered with a tangerine ribbon for a touch of color.

There’s no love quite like puppy love. Gramps, the star of the show, bears breathtaking botanicals—silver dollar eucalyptus, knifeblade acacia, salmon cremones and quicksand roses—courtesy of his owner, 414loral.

Petite Parisian pastries by Le Macaron adorn the sweets table, accompanied by toffee, quicksand and white majolica spray roses, blush chrysanthemums, dried fan palms, white hydrangeas, vintage carnations, phalaenopsis orchids and blackberry lily seeds from Blooms by Brandi.

Under the suspended bouquet by Evoke Chancy Floral, rose-gold cups accent a dusty mauve tablecloth, harmonizing with the soft hues of the centerpiece of roses, bunny tails, pampas grass, dahlias, scabiosa pods, bleached ruscus and foraged grasses, created by daffodil*parker.

The groom whispers sweet nothings to his bride, resplendent in the “Phoebe” dress by Kelly Faetanini from White Dress Bridal Boutique; chic meets sexy with a sweetheart neckline and offthe-shoulder straps, accessorized with a headpiece from Jaxie and earrings from Haute Bride. Moody makeup partners with a bouquet bursting with knifeblade acacia, pampas grass, bunny tails, salmon cremones, snowberry, quicksand roses and bleached Israeli ruscus, by 414loral. Guests will eagerly RSVP when they see these memorable invites. Debbie Pape, owner of Paper Envy, designed this suite featuring earthy elements: floral art and fringed brown ribbon, plus a hint of glam with the gold shimmer lining the envelope.

These one-of-a-kind floral installations by Blooms by Brandi frame the natural altar for an unforgettable place to tie the knot. The florals include an eye-catching array of foraged, fresh and dried botanicals in soft neutral tones and unexpected textures.

A sip of bubbly amid lavish blooms is always a winning combination. This centerpiece by daffodil *parker features spirea, blackberry lily pods, standard roses, spray roses, sedum, rice flower, echinacea pods, fan palms, pampas grass, seasonal hydrangea, foraged grasses and strawflower.
