Real Weddings at Lakeview Gardens
Melany + Cristian
Wedding Date: June 2024
Theme/Style: Elegant, intimate summer wedding with shades of blue
Melany and Cristian’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and simplicity. Emphasizing an intimate indoor setting, the couple chose a color palette of ivory and varying shades of blue, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Instead of lavish floral arrangements, they opted for a more minimalistic décor—cylinder vases filled with water and baby’s breath lined the tables, complemented by soft candlelight that added a cozy, romantic glow to the evening.
Unique Details:
The simplicity of the décor, featuring just the right amount of baby’s breath and candles, allowed the love between Melany and Cristian to take center stage. Their minimal approach reflected their personal style—refined and meaningful without unnecessary detail. The intimate indoor space was enhanced by the serene lake views visible through large windows, creating a perfect blend of indoor comfort and natural beauty. Additionally, the soft summer breeze flowing through the open areas added a gentle touch to their special day.
“The place of your dreams! Melanie is amazing, patient, kind, professional, answers the email quickly and is extremely helpful. I had the best experience ever in the venue since day one. If I had to do it again I will definitely pick The Mulberry Estate over and over. 🥰” — Melany
Brianna + Nathaniel
Wedding Date: July 2024
Theme/Style: Garden wedding with blush and splashes of light blue
Brianna and Nathaniel’s intimate garden wedding was a celebration of nature’s beauty, with an abundance of florals and a romantic outdoor garden setting. Their color palette of blush, soft light blue hues, and greenery was brought to life through breathtaking floral arrangements. Soft blush and white roses elegantly draped over the ceremony arch and reception tables, creating a romantic and inviting atmosphere. The day was filled with joy and love, beginning with a meaningful Christian ceremony that included the washing of the feet, inspired by John 13:1-17, symbolizing their humility, love, and service to one another.
Unique Details:
One of the standout features of their day was a unique, newspaper-style announcement called The Wedding Post, which creatively shared the wedding program with guests. The combination of lush florals and greenery, paired with the blush and light blue tones, created a whimsical garden atmosphere that was both inviting and enchanting. To end the night on a fun note, Brianna and Nathaniel delighted their guests by jumping into the pool together—a playful and unforgettable way to wrap up their summer wedding celebration.
