THE CEREMONY:

Set along a meandering garden aisle, the ceremony unfolded like a secret whispered through the trees. Shades of lavender clematis, sweet peas, and heirloom roses graced the floral arrangements, softened by the delicate forms of toad lilies and chestnut. A cascading chuppah of larkspur and delphinium swayed gently in the breeze, each bloom hand-selected to mirror the natural flow of the nearby sea. As guests gathered beneath the dappled sunlight, they were enveloped in a celebration of nature and new beginnings, rich with subtle nods to the bride’s coastal heritage.

THE RECEPTION:

The reception was a symphony of coastal bounty and garden charm. Lemons from the bride’s family citrus grove brought vibrant notes of yellow, mingling with limes, figs, and champagne grapes arranged in lush, serpentine runners across the tables. Above, a canopy of green ivy and fragrant Indian jasmine floated, creating an enchanting, almost otherworldly ambiance. Each guest found their place marked by a single oyster shell, engraved with their name—a nod to Hannah’s roots and a reminder of the day’s deeply personal touches.

Hannah and Nick’s wedding was a testament to the artistry of merging worlds, where the rustic elegance of San Ysidro Ranch met the coastal charm of the Texas Gulf. In every bloom, every twist of greenery, Nicole Chapman Design created an unforgettable fusion of place and passion—a wedding that lingered like sea mist in the memories of all who attended.
