REAL WEDDING INSPIRATION
Morgan & Eric | Donovan Pavilion
A Modern Wedding with Romantic Florals in Vail, Colorado
Morgan and Eric’s wedding at the Donovan Pavilion in Vail, Colorado, was a beautiful study in modern elegance softened by romantic floral design. Nestled along Gore Creek and surrounded by towering pines, the pavilion provided a serene mountain backdrop for a celebration that felt refined, intentional, and effortlessly timeless.
Guests were welcomed into the reception with a champagne wall seating chart, blending function and celebration into one thoughtful design moment. This interactive display set a festive tone from the start, encouraging guests to mingle while finding their seats.
The floral design focused on softness and simplicity. A lush mixture of roses and peonies created delicate, romantic arrangements. The palette of soft white blooms paired with greenery brought a fresh, organic feel, allowing the florals to feel light and airy while still making a statement. This restrained approach highlighted the natural beauty of the venue and complemented the couple’s modern vision.
One of the most striking design elements was the contrast between the florals and the reception décor. Black table linens created a bold, modern foundation that allowed the white and sage arrangements to truly stand out. The contrast felt elevated and intentional, striking the perfect balance between contemporary style and classic romance.
The bridal party added another layer of softness to the design. Bridesmaids wore soft pink dresses, introducing a subtle blush tone that complemented the florals without distracting from the overall palette. The gentle pop of color added warmth and romance while maintaining the clean, cohesive aesthetic.
The cake design echoed the couple’s minimalist vision. A three-tiered white cake served as an understated focal point, adorned with cascading greenery and finished with a refined gold emblem. The organic greenery softened the clean lines of the cake, while the gold detail added just the right touch of luxury.
Morgan and Eric’s Donovan Pavilion wedding was a perfect reflection of modern mountain elegance—where soft florals, thoughtful contrasts, and intentional details came together seamlessly. Their celebration proves that simplicity, when done with care, can be incredibly impactful.
