Bride Josie lets her personality shine through in this Tara LaTour “Buttercup” crêpe de chine ensemble, with a bandeau top, leg-o’-mutton sleeves and a cathedral train.

Tall tapers illuminate a mix of dried bear grass, scabiosa and anthurium in pale blues and greens, nestled around place settings that feature gold-accented flatware atop pleated cashmere napkins.

The airy, open space of Mosaic Venue is bright and welcoming—just as its founders intended, envisioning it as the perfect space for every event and mix of traditions.

Black candlesticks and bold table numbers on gray stone accent the tablescape.

A single delicate quail egg tops off the place setting alongside a menu of layered papers and twine.

Hunt Wright Design Co.’s elegant stationery suite extends the natural vibe with textured paper and colors of land and sky.

Josie relaxes before her big moment in Tara LaTour’s “Laurel” gown in heavy crêpe with bishop sleeves, lace cuffs and softly draping train for low-key romance.

Details make the difference in this diamond-accented turquoise ring, right, by Ananda Khalsa from Max's Jewelry.

The response card's minimalist, neutral hues carry on the natural theme, with raw edges and a string tie.

An asymmetrical faceted mint quartz ring by Jamie Joseph from Max’s Jewelry is a vision of elegance.

A smoky eye and lush lip color complement Josie’s rosy glow, with loose, natural curls to finish her look.

This unconventional bouquet features allium, anthurium, and bear grass, with dried and painted fatsia leaves for extra depth, tied up with flowing silk ribbons.

Ink Sweets’ white-on-white confection takes understatement to a new level, with a single, stunning dash of flair.

Not yet time to dine? A charcuterie mix of prosciutto, mortadella, cheese and nuts from D’Amico Catering is the perfect starter.

Josie takes center stage at the ceremony site, appointed with an enchanting combination of florals, including blue and green antique hydrangeas, allium and hand-picked marsh grasses to add texture and height.
