Venue: Parque Ridley Creek

Gianna and Mike’s breathtaking Parque Ridley Creek wedding was a floral dream come true, and we at TWIG Gardens were thrilled to be part of their special day. Nestled in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, Parque is a historic and romantic venue that feels like stepping into a storybook. Its lush gardens, enchanting stone architecture, and serene ambiance created the perfect backdrop for Gianna and Mike’s celebration of love.
A Venue Straight Out of a Fairytale
The Parque at Ridley Creek is a venue that exudes timeless elegance. Surrounded by Ridley Creek State Park, its sprawling estate boasts stunning gardens, stone courtyards, and a grand ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grounds. It’s the kind of place where nature and architecture blend seamlessly, providing endless inspiration for our floral designs.
When Gianna and Mike shared their vision—a vibrant color palette of burgundy, pinks, apricot, yellow, and green—we knew we could create something extraordinary to complement the venue’s natural beauty. With Parque’s dreamy setting as our canvas, we got to work crafting their wedding flowers.
A Fountain Overflowing with Color
The centerpiece of the outdoor ceremony was Parque’s iconic three-tier fountain, and we knew it needed a showstopping floral design. We adorned it with lush greenery and an abundance of colorful blooms, with pinks and burgundy taking center stage. The design was vibrant yet romantic, creating a captivating focal point that welcomed guests with a burst of color and elegance.
The fountain became the heart of the ceremony space, reflecting the couple’s lively and warm personalities. It was truly a “wow” moment that set the tone for the rest of the day.
A Grand Entrance to Say “I Do”
As guests made their way to the ceremony site, they were greeted by an enchanting path of stairs leading up to a decorated stone arch. The stairs were lined with pillar candles that flickered gently in the breeze, casting a warm glow as the sun began to set. Two large floral arrangements flanked the arch, bursting with the rich, joyful colors of the palette.
The stone arch was adorned with lush greenery and blooms, creating a romantic and natural frame for Gianna and Mike as they exchanged their vows. It was a breathtaking scene, blending seamlessly with Parque’s timeless charm.
Transforming the Reception
One of the things we love most about wedding florals is their versatility. After the ceremony, we repurposed the large floral arrangements from the stairs to the window sills in Parque’s reception room. With its grand windows and historic architecture, the room was brought to life with vibrant floral designs that added color and texture to the elegant space.
Each guest table was a picture of refinement and charm. White lace tablecloths provided a soft and classic foundation, while the centerpieces brought Gianna and Mike’s vision to life. We incorporated bud vases, colorful taper candles in gold stands, votives, and table numbers to create a layered and inviting look. Each taper candle matched the color palette but varied in hue, adding a playful yet cohesive touch to the tablescape. The result was a room that felt warm, vibrant, and effortlessly sophisticated.
A Stunning Head Table
The head table was a true showpiece. Dressed with the same white lace tablecloths as the guest tables, it was accented with a soft blush runner that added a romantic touch. Bud vases filled with blooms in shades of pink, burgundy, and apricot, along with colorful taper candles and votives, created an intimate yet grand aesthetic.
Behind the head table, we repurposed the arch decor from the ceremony. It made for a stunning backdrop, framing Gianna and Mike with the same flowers that witnessed their vows earlier in the day. It was a beautiful way to carry the romance of the ceremony into the reception.
A Celebration Full of Love and Color
Gianna and Mike’s wedding was a celebration of love, joy, and beauty. The vibrant color palette they chose reflected not only their lively personalities but also a perfect complement to Parque’s serene elegance. From the overflowing fountain to the grand stone arch and the exquisite reception tables, every detail came together to create a day that felt both timeless and uniquely theirs.
Working at Parque at Ridley Creek was an absolute delight. The venue’s enchanting charm provided the perfect setting for Gianna and Mike’s unforgettable day, and we were honored to bring their floral vision to life.
To Gianna and Mike, thank you for letting TWIG Gardens be part of your story. Your love, warmth, and energy were a joy to celebrate, and we’ll never forget the beauty of your wedding day! Cheers to a lifetime of happiness together!
