From the moment guests arrived, you could tell that Taryn and Jason’s wedding was going to be something special. Satin & Stems created a wedding that had beautiful surprises around every corner.

The historic sweeping staircases were covered in cascading flowers that welcomed everyone in, and the ceremony space felt like stepping into a secret garden. Flowers climbed the archway where the couple exchanged vows, while bridesmaids in deep green dresses carried white bouquets and a string quartet played softly in the background.

Everything flowed together so nicely. The mirror seating chart with wax-sealed cards was a lovely touch, and the reception tables looked beautiful with sage napkins, gold chairs, and centerpieces of blush and ivory flowers that matched the ceremony décor. The wedding cake, decorated with delicate flowers and displayed on a silver stand, was gorgeous too.

As the sun set, candles lit up the pathways and tables—over a hundred of them creating this warm, golden glow. Guests enjoyed dinner under the stars surrounded by flowers and candlelight, then moved seamlessly into toasts and the couple’s first dance.
