Refined Spring Romance at The Hartwood
Caroline’s bridal look set the tone for the day — effortlessly elegant with a modern twist. Her flawless makeup by @anakmoorebeauty and soft waves by @hairbytoricatherine were the perfect complement to her timeless gown.
With expert planning by Campbell & Co Event Management, the day flowed seamlessly from one stunning moment to the next — no detail overlooked, and no stress in sight.
The Ceremony: A Dream in the Open-Air Chapel
Caroline and Ben exchanged vows in The Hartwood’s signature open-air white chapel, a serene and elevated ceremony space overlooking the pond with majestic oak trees as the natural backdrop. Framed by soft spring light and a gentle breeze, the setting felt intimate, sacred, and effortlessly romantic.
@theweekenderblooms enhanced the chapel with lush, garden-style arrangements in soft pastels — creating a floral moment that felt organic yet refined. The combination of nature, architecture, and floral design made for a one-of-a-kind ceremony that was as peaceful as it was luxurious.
Reception with Luxury Touches
The reception design featured rentals from @curatedevents — think layered textures, romantic candlelight, and tailored elegance. Guests dined under market lights with a view of the garden, enjoying a warm spring evening surrounded by intentional beauty.The celebration came to life thanks to Brock Entertainment, who kept the dance floor full with a perfect mix of classics and modern hits. As a final treat, Vintage Scoops rolled in with handcrafted ice cream — a sweet ending to an unforgettable day.
