Getting Ready & First Look Moments

Alisha spent the morning getting ready with her bridal party in the Crossed Keys Inn Loft before slipping into her gown in the couple’s onsite lounge. Meanwhile, Lindsay prepped with her crew in the Playhouse. Champagne toasts and excitement filled the air as both brides got ready.

Their first look beside the Reflection Pond was tender and emotional—a moment just for them before the day unfolded. The natural beauty of the estate made for an idyllic backdrop as they wandered the property together, with portraits by Vince Ha that perfectly captured their connection.

A few light sprinkles of rain led photos into the Conservatory, where the soft natural light gave us everything—flattering, romantic, and timeless.

Before the ceremony, the couple shared a quiet moment with their Frenchie, Reese, who later walked down the aisle in the cutest floral collar.

A Garden Ceremony of Heart

Guests were greeted with champagne as they arrived for the garden ceremony. After considering hints of blue, Alisha and Lindsay chose a soft palette of pinks, whites, and greens—perfectly brought to life by mockups from lead designer Jessica. A lush two-piece arbor anchored the altar, styled with hydrangeas, dahlias, tulips, roses, astrantia, and seasonal greenery by our in-house floral team, Crossed Keys Designs. Matching aisle florals tied the ceremony space together, while the brides carried cascading bouquets in blush and mauve before exchanging rings and forever vows.

Cocktail Hour in the Conservatory

Guests mingled in our glass Conservatory during cocktail hour, sipping signature Watermelon Margaritas and Hugo Spritzes crafted by the brides. Favorite bites included Marinated Baby Lamb Chops, Mini Lobster Rolls, Coconut Shrimp, and crowd-pleasers from the Raw Bar and Carving Station before heading into the reception.

Reception in the Farmhouse

Inside the Farmhouse, guests were seated among floral runners, blush goblets, upgraded chargers, and rouge Ezra napkins. A matching linen at the sweetheart table created a stunning focal point, while custom menus shaped like the Reflection Pond offered a personal nod to the property. Aisle markers from the ceremony were thoughtfully repurposed to frame the base of the beams and stage. These thoughtful details made the design feel both elevated and entirely their own.

As the sun set, the Farmhouse came alive with music and movement. Alisha and Lindsay kept the dance floor full, surrounded by the people who love them most. It was more than a party—it was a celebration of soulmates and the start of their forever.
