Elegant floral splendor in Belgium

 

Emily and Aris’ wedding was a true testament to timeless elegance and rustic charm, wrapped in romance with a fresh twist. The couple had a clear vision of how they wanted to transform their chosen location, Hove van Herpelgem in Belgium, into a dreamlike wonderland with stunning floral arrangements.

The journey began with a heart-warming marriage proposal, staged by Aris at the Begijnhof in Kortrijk and accompanied by

Emily looked stunning in a figure-hugging white dress by Prima Donna, adorned with intricate lace detailing. She later changed into a comfortable wedding jumpsuit to dance freely to “Fly Me to the Moon” by Frank Sinatra during the first dance.

The wedding’s color palette of beige, nude, white, soft brown and shades inspired by these tones perfectly matched the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Every detail was carefully chosen, from the champagne glasses garnished with pink candy floss to the extraordinary floral arrangements created by Julie from Maison Julie and Marlies, the creative mind behind Dame Blanche Events. Pale brown leaves replaced the traditional green and gave the arrangements a unique touch. The real eye-catchers, however, were the enchanting flower arch, which served as a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony, and the original “flower clouds” hanging from the ceiling of the dining room. The guests were amazed when they saw the dreamy scene that the couple had imagined.

The 192 wine glasses, which served as name cards for the table setting, were artistically decorated with calligraphy, giving them a very personal touch. Emily and Aris’ personal logo became an integral part of the wedding styling and adorned the vintage car, stationery, the afternoon bike bar and even the evening bar, which featured vases filled with dried flowers that were presented to guests as a thank you.

All the lovely wedding details with flower clouds and handwritten wine glasses made the wedding design perfect.
