A Natural Trend…

Blog

February 3, 2013

Trends always come & go, but one with staying power has always been “natural design”. Whether you are self described vintage, eclectic, bohemian, posh, vibrant, modern, eco, or dramatic, natural is still at home with all of them. I hear from brides all the time, “I love the natural feel of this design”, or “I don’t want a styled event that looks over-fussed”. Which of course I love! One of my signature elements in my design work is incorporating raw, natural materials with lush flowers. Many times seed pods, twigs, berries, cotton bolls, and the like make their way into my designs. It’s a great way to add texture into a bouquet, without being too overwhelming to view.

Abby & Jude went with a very DIY, eco-chic, natural vibe…

love the burlap, vintage shutters, & family tree

lots of greens & whites with hydrangea, dahlias, berries, orchids, & artemisia

love birds were incorporated in stationary, the sweets table, & salt & pepper shakers

Even on plates at the sweetheart table

windows were dressed in burlap runners with candles in sand & more green hydrangea & amaranthus (bride DIY)

Ali & Matthew went with a natural elegance style full of vintage charm – authentic blue glass masons mixed with an old bicycle…so sweet!

Ali’s bouquet was one of my favorites…soft oranges, peaches, cremes, & ivory, perfect for an elegant late fall wedding. a beautiful mix of ranunculus, garden roses, anemones, seeded eucalyptus, artemisia, hypericum berry, viburnum berry, rosemary, fringe tulips, & paperwhites. Sigh…love when bulb flowers are back in season!

Ali’s girls carried a softer version of her bouquet, only using creme, ivory, & white, with a hint of blue…perfect to the smoky blue dress

bouts were all subtly different, but looked amazing all together

Simple mason jars held like blooms

Of course, the best way to view a wedding it to see it firsthand! Thankful for super talented Brooke Courtney providing these images! She & her team is AMAZING!!!!
