A Rustic Wedding at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville

Rustic yet elegant flowers created beautiful ambiance for this wedding held at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY.

The mountain top ceremony was enhanced by a rustic arbor with an asymmetrical floral adornment to frame the gorgeous views. The aisle was scattered with white rose petals. Guests were greeted by white flower arrangements at the beginning of the aisleway.

Guests came back down the mountain for a gorgeous reception held in the main lodge at Holiday Valley. Lush greenery and white blossoms with a touch of fuchsia accent flowers were placed throughout the lodge.

Large arrangements in stone-like rental pots added a pop of color and texture to the fireplace and adjacent to the sweetheart table.

A rustic combination of blossoms and burlap ribbon meddled with an assortment of lush greenery created a beautiful focal point for the happy couple on their sweetheart table.

A portion of the tables had tall centerpieces in rental cylinder vases from Lipinoga Florist. The height offset the soaring ceilings of the main lodge at Holiday Valley. Low arrangements with a lantern in the center added to the rustic vibe for the remaining tables and on the accent and place card tables.
