F E A T U R E D • F R I D A Y // An October evening wrapped in layers of lush green and gold ✨ Isabel + Daniel’s celebration at Lowndes Grove was the epitome of timeless elegance and tailored design. Following a downtown church ceremony, the newlyweds arrived in a vintage white Rolls Royce to a riverside cocktail hour, where guests sipped transfusions and champagne beneath the oaks. The reception unfolded beneath a clear-top tent swathed in rich olive draping, its ceiling gathered in sculptural folds that framed a series of gold chandeliers. The custom floral-wrapped dance floor echoed the garden-inspired palette, while tables dressed in patterned linens, woven textures, and abundant blooms in blush, mauve, and green created a sense of refined romance. Every detail—orchestrated by Peninsula Events—balanced warmth and originality, transforming the grounds into a romantic garden soirée for 300 guests.
