Wedding Inspiration: Old-World Glam Meets Modern Romance

Becca Atchison of Rebecca Rose Events took her color and design cues from the venue itself — a grand estate set among lush grounds.

Rose selected gilded touches and ruby-red blooms to set a formal tone, offset with romantic lace tablecloths and natural accents like pebbles and green leaves. Tables were set on the grounds of the Graylyn Estate.
