Nestled in the heart of Michigan, Greencrest Manor served as the picturesque backdrop for Bridgitt and Ross’s commitment ceremony this August. The venue, with its timeless architecture and lush grounds, perfectly embodied the essence of French country chic—a style that resonated deeply with the couple and brought their vision to life.
The Venue: Greencrest Manor
Greencrest Manor is a venue that feels like a step back in time, with its elegant façade, sprawling gardens, and tranquil atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for a day filled with love, beauty, and a touch of European charm. The manor’s stately presence and the surrounding greenery provided an enchanting environment that made every moment feel like a scene from a classic romance.
The Decor: French Country Chic
The decor was an inspired blend of French country chic, combining rustic elegance with refined details. The color palette was rich and inviting, featuring soft pastels, earthy tones, and lush greenery. Florals played a central role in the design, with arrangements that were both abundant and artfully composed, reflecting the natural beauty of the venue. From the ceremony arch draped in delicate blooms to the tablescapes adorned with vintage-inspired candle holders and mismatched china, every detail was meticulously curated to create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication.
The Dress: A Moss Green Satin Gown from BHLDN
Bridgitt’s choice of attire was nothing short of breathtaking. She wore a stunning moss green satin gown from BHLDN, which added a unique and elegant twist to the traditional wedding look. The gown’s rich color and flowing silhouette perfectly complemented the natural surroundings, making Bridgitt a vision of grace and beauty as she walked down the aisle.
