Modern Garden Wedding at Brookside Golf & Country Club
Featured In This Article:
Modern style met English garden romance at Logan Ridgeway and Will Donovan’s spring wedding at Brookside Golf & Country Club in Columbus. A palette of navy, gray and lavender brought a polished look to the celebration, while colorful spring flowers and the venue’s green outdoor spaces introduced a softer, garden-inspired feeling.
The couple hosted their ceremony and reception at the country club, allowing approximately 125 guests to enjoy the entire celebration in one convenient location. From the draped outdoor ceremony structure to the floral-filled ballroom, each setting reflected their modern vision without losing the warmth and natural beauty that made the day feel personal.

Why This Wedding Stands Out
Logan and Will’s wedding balanced tailored details with the organic beauty of a garden celebration. Navy created a strong visual foundation, while gray attire, lavender accents and colorful flowers kept the overall design light enough for spring.
The outdoor ceremony was framed by an asymmetrical structure draped in rich blue fabric and accented with vibrant floral arrangements. Flower petals scattered along the aisle and smaller arrangements beside the white chairs connected the ceremony design to the surrounding lawn.
The navy, gray and lavender palette carried naturally from the outdoor ceremony into the ballroom reception, creating a celebration that felt cohesive, personal and perfectly suited for spring.
Keeping every part of the wedding at Brookside also helped create a cohesive guest experience. Guests could move from the outdoor ceremony to the ballroom reception without traveling between locations.
The Design Vision & Wedding Palette
The navy, gray and lavender palette appeared throughout the ceremony, wedding party attire, florals and reception details. Rather than relying on one dominant flower or color, the arrangements incorporated shades of pink, purple, blue and white with greenery for an English garden-inspired effect.
Petals & Leaves designed the floral details, including the ceremony arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres and reception centerpieces. Pink roses added softness to the lavender wedding party attire, while blue and purple flowers connected the arrangements to the deeper navy details.
Inside the ballroom, navy table runners and coordinating menu cards brought a modern contrast to white linens. Colorful bud vases kept the table design airy, allowing individual flowers to stand out. Tables and linens provided by Brookside Golf & Country Club helped carry the palette throughout the reception.
Bridal Style & Fashion Details
Logan and Will coordinated their wedding attire through complementary shades of gray and navy. One wore a light gray suit with a matching vest and bow tie, while the other selected a navy suit with a gray vest and navy tie. Colorful boutonnieres brought lavender, burgundy, pink and blue tones into both looks.
Their wedding party continued the palette with lavender attire from Birdy Grey and coordinating floral details. The varied suit colors and soft dresses created a cohesive look without requiring every member of the wedding party to wear the same shade.
The mix of tailored menswear, pastel attire and garden-inspired flowers worked especially well against Brookside’s green grounds and tree-lined portrait locations. Nicole Dixon Photographic captured both the polished details and the couple’s relaxed moments together around the property.
Ceremony & Reception Experience
Guests gathered on the lawn at Brookside Golf & Country Club for the outdoor ceremony. White chairs kept the setup crisp and classic, while the blue-draped ceremony structure served as the main focal point. Flower petals and low aisle arrangements added color without competing with the surrounding landscape.
A navy welcome sign introduced guests to the celebration and reinforced the wedding palette before they reached the ceremony space. Personalized place cards helped guide guests into the reception, where the navy-and-white table design continued.
Dinner featured chicken and beef prepared by Brookside Golf & Country Club. For dessert, guests enjoyed vanilla and pistachio cake from The BonBonerie. After dinner, Night Music provided DJ entertainment and helped transition the reception into an evening of dancing.
Planning Takeaways From This Wedding
- Choose one dark anchor color, such as navy, and balance it with softer seasonal shades.
- Use flowers in several related colors to create an English garden-inspired look without making the design feel overly formal.
- Hosting the ceremony and reception at one venue can simplify transportation and create a smoother experience for guests.
- Repeat the wedding palette through signs, attire, flowers, linens and printed reception details.
- Select low floral arrangements and bud vases when you want color without blocking conversation across the table.
- Ask your venue which tables, chairs, linens, catering services and preparation spaces are already included.
- Plan portrait time around the venue grounds so your photographer can capture several settings without adding travel time.
