Andrea and Shane's wedding at Terrain at Styers in Glen Mills, PA, was an absolute joy. This stunning venue, nestled in a historic garden center, offers a dreamy blend of rustic charm and modern elegance, making it a treasure for any couple's big day. We were thrilled to design florals that matched not only Andrea and Shane's vision but also the unique aesthetic of Terrain.
A Showstopper Ceremony Arch
The highlight of the ceremony was undoubtedly the breathtaking white, square, gazebo-style arch. Well-known in Pennsylvania's wedding circles, Terrain's wedding arch is a showstopper. We adorned it with layers of textural blooms and greenery, creating depth and movement that drew every eye to the happy couple. The color palette was a fall-inspired dream: warm oranges, soft pinks, pops of burgundy, cheerful yellows, and crisp whites. Each bloom was selected to evoke the cozy, romantic vibes of autumn, while still feeling fresh and unique.
Repurposing for the Sweetheart Table
The arch wasn't just a one-time wonder—we repurposed the design elements behind the sweetheart table during the reception. This double-duty approach not only maximized the beauty of the flowers but also framed Andrea and Shane's table with an unforgettable backdrop. The addition of soft white curtains behind the arch design made the whole arrangement pop, creating a focal point that felt both intimate and grand.
A Sweetheart Table to Remember
Speaking of the sweetheart table, it was a vision of boho-farmhouse perfection. A lush green garland lined the edge, dotted with lighter blooms that provided a beautiful contrast against the greenery. The table felt like a natural extension of the surrounding gardens but with an elevated, polished touch that made it feel extra special for the newlyweds.
Long Wooden Tables for Guests
For the guest tables, Andrea and Shane chose long wooden tables that perfectly complemented Terrain's warm, rustic vibe. We added blush table runners to soften the look and create a cohesive base for the decor. Pillar candles and bud vases of varying heights added layers of light and interest, while votives scattered across the tables enhanced the romantic ambiance. Each bud vase held a curated selection of blooms from the color palette, ensuring that every table felt like its own mini work of art.
A Magical Reception Room
The reception room itself is something to behold, with its boho-meets-farmhouse feel. Terrain's ceiling, strung with twinkling string lights, created a magical canopy that made the room feel like a starlit wonderland. The soft glow complemented the floral arrangements and added a warm, inviting touch to the evening. It's no wonder guests lingered at their tables, soaking in the beauty of the space.
Seamless Integration with Terrain's Aesthetic
One of the most satisfying aspects of designing this wedding was how seamlessly the florals integrated with the venue. Terrain's lush, natural surroundings set the perfect stage for Andrea and Shane's celebration. Every detail, from the charming greenhouse spaces to the thoughtfully curated decor, aligned beautifully with their vision. The venue's earthy, organic atmosphere provided the perfect counterpoint to the structured elegance of the florals, resulting in a look that felt both effortless and intentional.
Fall-Inspired Color Palette
The fall-themed color palette was the thread that tied everything together. The oranges and yellows brought warmth and energy, while the pinks and whites added softness and romance. Burgundy accents provided depth and richness, grounding the design and making it feel seasonally appropriate without being overly traditional. The mix of textures—from the velvety petals of dahlias to the feathery stems of grasses—added dimension and kept the arrangements feeling dynamic and fresh.
Memorable Moments During Setup
One of the moments that stood out during setup was seeing the sunlight filter through the greenhouse windows as we placed the bud vases and candles on the tables. The natural light highlighted the intricate details of each bloom and made the colors sing. By the time the string lights took over as the primary source of illumination, the transition was seamless, and the room took on a whole new level of enchantment.
A Venue Like No Other
Terrain at Styers truly is a one-of-a-kind venue. Its blend of natural beauty and carefully designed spaces allowed us to create floral designs that felt like they belonged while still making a statement. Andrea and Shane's wedding was the perfect example of how thoughtful design and a stunning setting can come together to create an unforgettable experience.
As we packed up at the end of the night, we couldn't help but smile, knowing that we had played a part in such a beautiful celebration. Andrea and Shane's love was the centerpiece of the day, and we were honored to contribute florals that enhanced and celebrated their story. Here's to many more stunning weddings at Terrain and to the happy couple—cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness!
