Modern Love

The Grandeur House serves as a backdrop for a dreamy, French-inspired wedding scene


After planning and designing weddings for six years, Natalie Scott of Natalie Scott events set out to build the perfect venue. “I thought how awesome it would be if a wedding planner designed a venue that was built with every aspect of that day in mind,” Natalie says.

To that end, she designed and built The Grandeur House on 40 acres of land west of Little Rock. Soaring ceilings, an all-white and wood-tone palette, and clean lines keep the setting classic yet modern, which lets the details of each individual event stand out.

For this inspirational shoot, Natalie gathered a team of wedding vendors to bring an air of romance to the space. A delicate periwinkle blue ties together elements of this design, as seen in the bridesmaids’ dresses, tablecloths, paper goods, and glassware. “I design a lot of neutral weddings, so I wanted to show something a little different,” Natalie says, noting that she is drawn toward palettes that are “light, bright, and airy.” The French influence is brought to life in details such as antique silver pieces and wooden bistro tables.

Another layer of vintage inspiration comes through in images captured by film rather than a digital camera, a choice photographer Erin Wilson says she uses as often as possible. “I think film produces the most beautiful colors, depth, and texture,” she says. The overall effect is a scene that’s as timeless as it is fresh.




Elegant Altar
A small yet sophisticated ceremony space was created in the venue’s loft around an arched mirror accented with greenery and candlelight. “We were thinking of brides who wanted an intimate, romantic indoor wedding,” says photographer Erin Wilson.


Paper Supply Co. designed an invitation suite with deckle edges, a detail that recurs on the menu cards and in torn ribbons wrapped around flatware at each place setting.

“The organic textures and food elements incorporated in the tablescapes stayed true to my signature style. I am always a fan of organic, textured linens and food!” —Natalie


Magnolia Belle Floral provided bouquets and table arrangements in an airy, pastel palette that pops against what Natalie calls the “moodier grays and blue tones” of the linens and dinnerware.



Inspired Design
“The design for the wedding venue came from a combination of my experience as a wedding planner and my personal design aesthetic,” Natalie says. “I drew a lot of inspiration from merging modern farmhouse styles with touches of an Italian vineyard.”


Abundant windows let natural light spill in, which makes The Grandeur House a perfect choice for brides and grooms who crave the feel of an outdoor wedding but the peace of mind of an indoor event.
