Start with what is already present
Identify the strongest views, trees, structures, and textures before deciding what the venue actually needs.
Use a landscape-led palette
Pull colors from stone, grasses, wildflowers, wood, and the season for a cohesive design.
Layer natural materials
Wood, linen, greenery, ceramic, and metal can add texture without competing with the setting.
Plan for changing light
Consider the direction of the sun, photography timing, path lighting, dinner light, and the transition into dancing.
