What began as some last-minute preparations for a styled photo shoot ended up becoming a major wedding theater production and a forever love story for Robert and Patrick.

The theme for this wedding inspiration was secret garden with a color palette and natural greenery to complement the setting. The venue was Kasteel Ophemert, which offered exceptional castle scenery.

The venue features a stunning backdrop of wide open lawns with several hundreds of years old trees. The property itself is powerful, classic, rustic and beautifully accented with wrap-around patios, a swimming pool and an open and airy event space with secret garden green rooms. The florals featured the natural bouquets and the centerpieces including witte tulpen, calla, cymbidium, scilla and blauwe iris, surrounded by eucalyptus and hedera greenery.
