Greens and Grapevines

Inspired by vineyard charm, this palette combines dark maroons, soft greens, crisp whites, and grape accents for a rich, romantic feel.

Black Tie with a Twist

Classy never goes out of style. Add a pop of green and gold to the traditional black-and-white palette for a modern, elegant feel. It’s timeless yet fresh, perfect for a formal affair or a sleek winery wedding. Imagine white calla lily bouquets tied with ribbon, green floral centerpieces, gold flatware, and black and white signage with pops of green. These small details come together creating a sophisticated atmosphere with just a hint of contemporary flair. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and modern elegance.

Sunny Citrus and Blooms

If you want your wedding to feel like the ultimate sunny and fun summer day, this could be the palette for you.  Think coral, tangerine, lemon yellow, hot pink, and pops of light blue. Perfect for summer ceremonies, these colors bring energy and a playful twist to your special day — plus, they pair beautifully with outdoor vineyard views. Picture bright floral centerpieces, citrus garlands, and sunny accents in your décor. It’s a vibrant, carefree choice that adds a splash of personality and fun to every moment.

Rose and Sage Romance

Soft, dreamy, and timeless. Blush pink paired with elegant sage green is the ultimate romantic combo. It works beautifully with floral arrangements, rustic venues (hello, vineyard weddings!), and candlelit receptions. This palette exudes a gentle charm, blending effortlessly with natural surroundings while adding just the right touch of elegance. Imagine flowing table runners, soft pink roses, and subtle greenery — pure magic.

Spring

Spring at Chandler Hill will have you thinking you’re no longer in Missouri. As the name suggests, our venue sits on a hill overlooking sweeping green hills, flowing trees, budding grape vines, and a glittering lake. The spring is a magical time here bringing us singing birds in the morning and the most gorgeous sunsets in the evening.

For weddings at Chandler Hill, this means a gorgeous outdoor ceremony with perfect lighting followed by an incredible sunset backdrop for photos. Springtime also makes for a perfect indoor-outdoor happy hour and a dreamy reception. Once you’re ready to hit the dance floor, you can do so under the stars and string lights on our deck. You can even add fireworks to the end of your first dance for the perfect transition to open up the dance floor!

The autumnal view stretches for miles off our back deck where some of the most picturesque ceremonies take place. This season presents the perfect opportunity to hold happy hour down in our cabanas with a satellite bar and toasty appetizers.

Reception allows your guests to warm up before hitting the dance floor under the night sky! To spice up your dessert experience, you can have a smores bar to really get your guests in the fall mood. In no time you’ll have everyone out of their seats, smores in hand, dancing the night away!

Winter

If a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a candle-lit dinner sounds like the perfect ambiance, a winter wedding at Chandler Hill is right for you! Our tall wooden ceiling, candle-lit bar, and indoor string lights bring warmth to the cold winter weather. A ceremony in front of the fireplace is never forgotten as it makes the moment even more magical and intimate.

Bring happy hour to life with a gingerbread martini or yule mule as your specialty cocktail! Satisfy your hunger until dinner with cocktail meatballs or cranberry brie tartlets and watch the smiles of satisfied guests spread throughout the room. Once reception comes to a close, hit the dance floor as we lower the lights and turn up the music! Add an even sweeter ending with our chocolate fountain along with dippable fruit and treats!

1. Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses

Mismatched bridesmaid dresses are growing in popularity and are a great way to add fun and distinction to your theme! To keep your bridal party cohesive, you can provide a color palette, optional patterns, and a Pinterest board for inspiration. Condence looks best on everyone, so giving your bridesmaids the freedom to choose what they wear will bring out the brightest smiles!

2. String Quartets

If elegant romance is the theme you’re striving for, you’ll want to consider incorporating this trend into your wedding. Couples are opting for instrumental versions of their favorite songs for the ceremony and reception, think Bridgerton. This allows you to enjoy the music that means the most to you while maintaining an elevated atmosphere. Even the grandparents will be dancing along to Beyoncé, or Frank Sinatra if that’s more your vibe!

3. Fruits and Veggies as Decor

That's right, your girl dinner is now a centerpiece. Heirloom tomatoes, gs, lemons, herbs, and more are becoming increasingly popular for wedding decor. These unusual props bring a natural and down-to-earth feeling that is perfect if you’re going for an effortless, comforting atmosphere. You can even tie in specialty cocktails that include the fruit and vegetables you’re also using as decor.

4. Candid Film Photography

If you want your pictures to be extremely nostalgic, this is the trend for you! Something about a candid laughing moment captured in a warm, grainy photo makes you feel like you’re reliving the moment over and over again. This photography style romanticizes blurry photos of you running through hallways, messy cake cuttings, and hectic dance floors. Each captured memory looks exactly how it felt - like a dream.

5. Unconventional Desserts

While you can’t go wrong with a traditional cake, an unconventional dessert can be just as delicious while adding a bit of personality to your wedding! Dessert can be a fun way to tie in your heritage and traditions, and maybe even entertainment for your guests. Examples of this include ice cream carts, fresh made-to-order donuts, dessert towers, French millefoglie, and Norwegian kransekake. No matter which unconventional dessert you choose, your guests will be surprised and delighted by the unique experience!
