The bride's English heritage and the groom's tea time proposal inspired this absolutely gorgeous garden wedding reception at Cincinnati's Peterloon Estate. Nina and Stan were married in the light filled Armstrong Chapel and an outdoor reception followed on the grounds of one of Cincinnati's most beautiful homes. Reception tables overflowed with runners of eucalyptus, powdery pink and alabaster white roses and peony blossoms whose faces bloomed larger than saucers.

Floral chandeliers dangled from open-sided tents, greenery spiraled up tall clear centerpieces that opened out into robust arrangements. Nina's bouquet was a cascade of the whitest orchid and emerald leaves. Bridesmaids carried smaller arrangements of pastel roses, silver dollar eucalyptus and fuzzy dusty miller. The high tea, English garden motif was apparent in the floral linens, tableware and quirky mix of glassware and votives. Photography by Kortnee Kate Photography.
