Enchanting Garden Ceremony and Retro Glam Reception in Ultimate Wedding Day at Briarwood Estate

Grace and Johnny Egelstad’s wedding at Briarwood Estate was a heartfelt celebration that instantly transported guests into a carefully curated world. Having met as teenagers through social media, they have been inseparable ever since—bonding over music, old records and their miniature dachshund, Delilah. When they got engaged on a sunset-kissed beach in Ocean Shores, they knew their wedding had to feel like them: intentional and brimming with personal flair. Drawn to Briarwood’s enchanting garden setting, they leaned into its dreamlike quality, creating two distinct atmospheres throughout the evening. The first half—ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner—took place in the open air of the Imperial Lawn and Rose Garden. Here, a blend of soft pastels, vintage accents and French-inspired details brought their vision of “château chic” to life. As the sun set, guests transitioned to the Wisteria Den, where the aesthetic flipped to modern retro glam. Live music by Side One set the tone in a space filled with pink and green lounge furniture, while the black-and-white checkered dance floor dazzled with disco balls overhead. Playful extras, including an ice cream cart and a second bar serving the couple’s favorite drinks, added to the fun atmosphere. From honoring Grace’s late father and crafting handwritten notes for each guest to the sentimental favor of her grandmother’s handmade truffles, every detail was a personal reflection and a nod to the life Grace and Johnny are creating together.
