European White Garden

A wrought-iron gate, white roses, and a walled garden at nine in the morning.

Guests lift the latch of a wrought-iron gate set in a stone arch of climbing white roses, and walk down a gravel path between clipped box hedges into your day. Ivy grows along the page as they read, the order of the day sits in arched garden niches, and the whole invitation stays light, green and quietly formal.
