Fall Wedding at Bernardus Resort: A Dreamy Design Inspired by Stone, Moss, and Nature

Gianna and Ajax’s wedding design was truly one of my favorites of the year! Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking landscape at Bernardus Resort and the bride’s love for stone and moss, we created a design that felt perfectly integrated into the natural beauty of the venue.

For the ceremony, we wanted the design to blend seamlessly with the surroundings and capture the essence of fall. We selected elegant wood chairs from Found Rental Company, which complemented the rustic yet refined atmosphere. Muse Floral Co. designed a stunning semi-circle floral arch as the altar backdrop, with lush greenery, hydrangea accents, and grassy florals that framed the couple beautifully.

For the reception, we mixed rectangular and round tables to add visual interest to the layout. The head table, positioned in front of the stage, allowed us to repurpose the ceremony florals and hang delicate light fixtures overhead, creating a perfect, photo-ready backdrop for the bride and groom. The round tables were covered in rich velvet linens, giving the space a luxurious and cozy feel. We also added soft blankets to every other chair, ensuring guests stayed warm as the evening temperatures dropped.

Each table featured custom stone table numbers and “growing” mossy floral arrangements that tied in with the natural theme. And for the final touch, we selected unique bride and groom chairs that perfectly complemented the rest of the design, creating a personalized and memorable experience.

Gianna and Ajax’s wedding at Bernardus Resort truly captured the essence of natural beauty, warmth, and romance. Every detail, from the stone accents and mossy florals to the thoughtfully chosen seating and cozy touches, came together to create a memorable celebration that was a perfect reflection of their beautiful love story!!
