In the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, Scarlett and Eric, were married in the Rainforest Conservatory at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. Their wedding day will forever be etched in their hearts, and in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to witness their union.
Set against the backdrop of the World of Orchids display, Scarlett and Eric's greenhouse wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. Not to mention, a dream come true for me! As a certified “crazy plant lady”, I was absolutely giddy at the prospect of photographing a wedding ceremony in a place like this!
The ceremony was officiated by the wonderful Lisa Cage of Love Your Moment, and was an intimate affair, attended only by immediate family and close friends. One of the most captivating features of their wedding was the intricate floral wall of live orchids that served as the backdrop for the couple's vows.
The handfasting ceremony, narrated by Scarlett's sister, was a beautiful and meaningful addition to the wedding ceremony. The couple's hands were bound together, symbolizing their commitment to each other.
With the exchange of rings and a heartfelt kiss, Scarlett and Eric sealed their marriage vows! The cheers and applause of their loved ones filled the conservatory as they embarked on this beautiful new chapter of their lives together.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests stayed in the conservatory for portraits. The vibrant colors of the orchids and lush green of the tropical plant foliage provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the romantic portrait session with the bride and groom. We ended the shoot outside with a few photos on the grounds of the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens.
Scarlett and Eric's wedding in the Rainforest Conservatory was a testament to the beauty of an intimate or private wedding ceremony. The couple’s original plan was to get married in the rose garden, but there was rain in the forecast that day. They were givien the choice of moving the ceremony to the Conservatory and I am so glad they did! (The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens only allows weddings in the Conservatory as a weather back-up plan for small intimate weddings like this one) This was certainly a dream come true for me as a photographer and plant enthusiast.
I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
