Effortlessly Elegant: How Homemade Events Transformed a Rochester Park Lodge Into a Sunflower Micro-Wedding Celebration
If planning a wedding feels like juggling a hundred spinning plates, you’re not alone. Many couples love the idea of designing their big day but feel overwhelmed by the details—especially when it comes to bringing the vision to life. That’s where our wedding design and decorating services shine. With Homemade Events, you’ll enjoy the benefits of expert wedding decor planning and day-of setup support while maintaining creative control over your vision.
Recently, we had the honor of working with an amazing couple who wanted an intimate yet stunning November wedding at the Woodside Lodge in Black Creek Park, Churchville, New York. Their wedding was proof that a small gathering of just 35 people can still be absolutely breathtaking.
Sunflower Wedding Design for an Intimate Lodge Celebration
When this couple reached out to us, they had a vision: an intimate micro-wedding that was cozy, romantic, and filled with personal touches. With only six weeks to go, they entrusted us with transforming their ideas into reality through wedding design, decor planning, and day-of setup.
We made the process easy. All our beautiful couple had to do was pick what they liked best from the moodboards we provided. From there, we got to work! We curated the overall look and feel, sourced every single decorative element, and handled every detail of the setup, so the couple could relax and enjoy their special day.
The result? Effortless elegance. The lodge’s bright and open space set the perfect stage for both the intimate ceremony and reception. Guests were treated to a seamless, beautiful experience that felt warm and welcoming despite the chilly November weather.
Sunflower Wedding Details at Woodside Lodge
From the ceremony to the reception, every detail of this park lodge wedding reflected the couple’s unique style. Here are some of the standouts:
Ceremony backdrop: A circular gold hoop draped with a flowing white sash, adorned with sweet sunflower arrangements. Clusters of tall votives with glowing candles created a soft, romantic atmosphere.
Sweetheart table: Positioned in front of the lodge’s cozy fireplace, the sweetheart table was a focal point of the reception. Stunning sunflower arrangements created by Sungrove Blossoms paired with clusters of candles carried through the design, creating a warm, intimate vibe for the newlyweds.
Elegant reception table settings: Tucked neatly into the fold of each guest’s napkin was a personalized beer bottle opener, a packet of sunflower seeds to plant as a reminder of the beautiful celebration, and a heartfelt thank you card from the newlyweds. Mismatched crystal vases holding elegant sunflower arrangements served as centerpieces, adding a touch of rustic charm to the tables.
Personalized touches: The couple’s guests signed a photo frame featuring a picture of the happy couple, creating a heartfelt keepsake of the day. Spoonful of Sugar Sweets added another layer of personalization with sweet custom sunflower-themed cookies for dessert.
From start to finish, the sunflower aesthetic was woven into every detail to create a warm, welcoming, and understated elegant park lodge wedding.
Stress-Free Wedding Design and Decor Planning
This wedding is a perfect example of how Homemade Events can handle the most stressful and time-consuming aspects of wedding decor planning and decorating while keeping costs down compared to full-service planning. We weren’t managing every detail of the wedding—the couple still played a role in shaping the day—but we took charge of the design, decorating, and day-of logistics.
By entrusting us with these crucial elements, the couple didn’t have to stress about sourcing decor, styling the venue, or making sure everything ran smoothly on the big day. Instead, they could focus on what mattered most: celebrating their love with the people who mean the most to them.
