Set against the sprawling expanse of Mallorca and Almond Valley’s storied stones, this reception encapsulated the ethereal fusion of untamed nature and quiet, poetic design. The 200-hectare estate, with its meandering vineyards and serene poolside views, set the stage for an intimate celebration where nature became both muse and canvas.
For the tablescape, white callas and roses, delicate and pristine, wove through soft, undulating linens in shades of ivory. Golden accents mimicked the soft sun’s glow, while hand-blown crystal and tactile ceramics echoed the rugged, yet tender beauty of the surrounding landscape. Everything felt as though it belonged, every detail harmonizing with the natural world.
Amidst this tranquil beauty, the atmosphere was steeped in an elegant stillness. The carefully considered elements—fluid lines, gentle textures—created a sense of refined ease, both unforced and timeless.
“From the graceful symmetries and intricate spirals to the organic meanders, gentle waves, natural cracks, and subtle stripes, each element captures the essence of nature’s inherent artistry.”
Kerry Howard’s Styling Tips
- Opt for a secluded and exclusive venue that offers stunning natural landscapes. Almond Valley, for example, provided a beautiful backdrop with its sprawling gardens and elegant architecture.
- Select colors that harmonize with the venue’s flora and surroundings. Soft hues from nature, like sunset tones and lush greens, can enhance the venue’s natural beauty. Aim for a primary palette of whites and golds for timeless elegance.
- Incorporate organic shapes by using decor that reflects nature’s diverse patterns, such as organic ceramics and mouth-blown crystal. This brings authenticity and a tactile quality to the setting.
- Ensure the floral palette complements the venue’s natural colors, reinforcing the overall visual narrative.
- Create an intimate atmosphere with softly illuminated settings. This can enhance the romantic feel and make the space feel inviting.
