Winter Wedding at The Ryland Inn | Ilana & Josh
January 10, 2024
You will swoon over Ilana and Josh’s gorgeous winter wedding at The Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. As a trusted NJ Wedding Florist, we had the privilege of designing the florals for Josh and Illan’s enchanting wedding at The Ryland Inn.
Getting Ready
Ilana and her bridesmaids spent their morning getting pampered by her glam squad, Make Me Up Eva and Boho Bridal, in The Ryland Inn’s gorgeous bridal suite. These stunning ladies wore a combination of black dresses that perfectly complimented each bridesmaid, showing off their unique style.
A moment of appreciation for Illan’s entire wedding day look—she looked stunning! Illan’s gorgeous lace gown is complimented by a gorgeous bouquet showcasing a wintery white color palette.
Josh and his groomsmen spent the morning on-premise relaxing and getting ready for the ceremony. The men rocked classic black tuxes, perfect for any time of the year!
The First Look
We love a first look—it gives the couple a special moment together before the ceremony. The meticulous grounds at The Ryland Inn give couples several perfect locations for their first look. Josh was so excited to see his beautiful bride—his reaction left us teary-eyed!
The first look gives couples and their bridal party time before the ceremony to take portraits and group shots. We don’t think they took one bad photo!
The Ceremony
There’s nowhere more romantic to exchange vows than in front of the gorgeous fireplace in the ballroom at The Ryland Inn. Our team created a lush arrangement for the arch to tie together the ambiance for Illana and Josh’s romantic ceremony.
The Reception
Wait until you see all the details Illana and Josh incorporated into their day. We are obsessed! From their sweetheart table to their wedding cake, we cannot stop thinking about how amazing their wedding was!
Josh and Illana created modern, simplistic centerpiece garlands that complemented the cozy and romantic ambiance in The Ryland Inn’s ballroom.
We love the trend of audio guestbooks—Josh and Illana’s guests were able to leave audio messages that will last a lifetime.
One of our favorite pieces to design for the couple’s day was their sweetheart table. The stunning arrangements adorned with their wintery white florals and accented with lanterns made for the most romantic look. By adding a touch of greenery to the chandeliers, the couple added a WOW factor to the ballroom.
We also adorned the fireplace with candles to tie together the backdrop.
Last, but certainly not least, let’s hear it for the wedding cake! We loved adding a touch of florals to the cake to create a classic look.
