Hardemans Secret Garden Wedding | Liz & Jory
I had the opportunity to see Hardemans Secret Garden while it was under construction several years ago and was SO excited when Liz and Jory reserved their date with me there! The grounds there are just stunning with so many beautiful locations for photos and the reception space is basically a glam green house with retractable walls that allow it to be air conditioned or open with an outside feel.
I started with Liz and her besties at the Sheraton close by, and then we did her details and all the getting ready in their bridal suite at Hardemans. When she popped that champagne if you look closely you can see the cork in the top left of the photo! The girls in that dark green is literally I think my all time favorite bridesmaid dress color because it looks gorgeous on everyone. Jory wore a velvet dark green custom jacket and he and Liz together are just stunning!!
The ceremony was outside in the semi-circular amphitheater (the grass is turf so it is all a pretty green color). They saw each other when Liz first walked down the aisle and joined together as a family of 3 with Jory’s son, Quinn, with a sand unity ceremony. Linda got the most amazing vantage point and lighting as she was behind the ceremony, for their ring exchange. While the guests enjoyed cocktails we did their photos in all the pretty spots - my fav is that brick entry way and also the Asian garden.
The reception was decorated with high and low white florals and greenery with a black and white dance floor. Jory carried Liz in, in epic fashion and they did their first dance on a “cloud” which is such a cool effect. Jory best man had a little help from 2 of the other groomsmen, and they had quite an awesome toast:-) It was the perfect evening for an awesome party and we could not be happier for these 2! Liz & Jory we loved it all thank you for having us!! xoxoxo
