Transforming a Ballroom Into an Enchanted Garden

While garden weddings may be popular, the thoughtful details set apart each JLE wedding from the next. We matched Marcy and Ben’s escort wall to the envelope liners in their hand-crafted invitation suite, with fresh blooms that popped against the background of soft botanical illustrations.

Later in the evening, we hung bags of cookies from the hooks that formerly held the escort cards, to ensure each guest departed with a sweet souvenir.
 
After the meal, a party band took the stage (naturally, adorned with even more flowers!) and got every guest on their feet. A coffee cart that served customized cappuccino, espresso, and latte drinks to keep everyone dancing from the first song to just before the big band and confetti sendoff.

Working with our couples to find the perfect wedding venue is a process that involves a thorough search—and, ultimately, trust. After Marcy and Ben hired us, we sourced spots all over Dallas for their November nuptials and eventually landed on The Adolphus Hotel. The couple liked the space’s look but needed our assurances that we could transform it into their vision - garden romance meets sophisticated elegance. We knew it was possible with a little imagination!
 
Opulent florals set the stage, from the ceremony at Temple Emanu-El to cocktail hour and the reception inside The Adolphus Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. As guests entered cocktail hour from the grand escalator and staircase at The Adolphus, a spectacle of florals greeted them. Picture pillars of greenery stretching from the floor to the ceiling, accompanied by cascades of blush, ivory, lilac, and magenta flowers. A delicate floral aroma drifted through the space, evoking a moonlit garden and leaving every guest in awe.
