Soft Pink and Green Garden Wedding

You know well by now that we go weak-kneed for color palettes that are soft, elegant, and feminine—and nothing fits the bill more than the timeless choice of pale blush and olive green. Generous hints of rose gold abound, and garlands and sprigs of olive branch accompany lush arrangements of peonies and garden roses. Completely romantic and timeless!

In light of A’s post on at-home events and our gorgeous backyard wedding from earlier this week, I felt inspired to do a garden board.  It’s full of soft colors and outdoor goodness!

As you can see, pink week isn’t going away just yet.  Inspired by a few of the pink pictures from this weekend, I decided to try my hand at a new color scheme for me – raspberry and chartreuse.

We’re dreaming of warmer weather over here, and we have been served some wonderful wedding inspiration on a plate. It’s a unique one for sure, as it features a trés chic wedding gown from Emily Kotarski paired with some muted colors. Cayleigh Hopkins of The Petal Report jazzed up what we typically think of “summer shades” and used deep versions of reds, blues, and purples instead. Enjoy this shoot from Hannah Alyssa Photography to the fullest, especially those florals from Fresh Weddings and Events. That bouquet with the protea front and center is a dream!

Valerie and Ken’s Tower Hill Botanical Garden wedding was like walking into another time. Every corner was filled with gorgeous flowers and art, every detail simple in its elegance. The greenhouses and gardens at Tower Hill inspired the color and style for their wedding. Julie Lapham Designs created arrangements with succulents and airplants, roses, eucalyptus, and anemone, and many of the succulents are now growing in the couple’s home! Seeded paper escort cards doubled as favors, a Jenga game served as the guest book, and colorful tabletops graced the Orangerie. We’re simply in love with every moment captured by Arielle Doneson Photography!

Today’s feature is for everyone who loves luscious blooms! The Petal Report and Frampton’s Flowers created a gorgeous springtime shoot set against the dreamy backdrop of Charleston, SC, showcasing the spring season’s best florals! The months of March-July bring out some of the most colorful and unique blooms, from garden roses to anemones, in a bounty of beautiful pastel colors. Cayleigh and Elaine’s advice? Stick with the stems that are blooming during your wedding season and let their varieties guide your color palette! You’ll get the most healthy and vibrant blooms. Read on to grab some more spring wedding flower tips and see the spectacular images captured on film by Hannah Alyssa Photography!

The European flair and naturally beautiful landscape of Austin’s Garden Grove set the scene for this whimsical fine art inspiration shoot designed by Kindle and Gather. A soft color palette of pink, mauve, marigold, and ivory echoed the romantic garden setting. The Heirloom Table designed lush, organic florals with a painterly feel and lots of movement, perfectly pairing with the soft fabrics of the silken table linen and Alexandra Grecco gown. A fanciful cake from Feathers and Frosting and sweeping calligraphy invitations lettered by Seniman Calligraphy completed the elegant yet imaginative vignette. We are spellbound by the beautiful images captured on film by Honey Gem Creative!

Christine and Daniel’s wedding is equal parts romantic, dreamy, and classic. With the beautiful villa and gardens of Villa Montalvo as the setting and perfect Northern California weather provided by the month of May, the couple’s graceful ivory and blush color palette came to life within the lush green foliage. Charmed Events Group brought the elegant setting to life with lace linens from La Tavola, a dramatic draped arch decked with greenery and florals by Tango & Foxtrot, and fresh, clean centerpieces of peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus. A gorgeous lace-embellished cake from Studio Cake completed the scene. Christine is radiant in a sophisticated Allure gown to match Daniel’s chic black tux, and to honor their heritage, both donned traditional Korean wedding attire from LeeHwa Wedding for an incredible sunset portrait session. We are completely in love with every moment captured by Danielle Poff Photography!

The spectacular Planterra Conservatory set the scene for Megan and Jack’s classic Michigan wedding. The couple selected the greenhouse for its airy and romantic feel, and the lush locale didn’t disappoint! Planterra’s team created a spectacular atmosphere of hanging wisteria, garlands and swaths of greenery, and clusters of trees and plants. The result? Breathtaking! Wanting the greenery and abundance of candlelight to shine, Megan selected accents of glittering gold tableware, blush napkins, and cashmere Alfred Angelo bridesmaids frocks. And of course, her sophisticated Justin Alexander stole the show! In lieu of dessert, guests enjoyed a cheese cake and charcuterie station from Continental, a big hit! Every moment is beautifully captured by Kelly Sweet Photography!

Scottsdale’s El Chorro resort was a stunning backdrop for this whimsical styled wedding inspiration created by Victoria Canada Weddings and Events. Selecting a dramatic floral linen from La Tavola Fine Linen as their inspiration, they designed a garden soiree featuring bold patterns and vibrant florals by Carte Blanche Design. Elegant and eclectic details abound, including a hand-lettered vow board by Dear Sarah Design, a painted wedding cake by Ruze Cake House, and stylish lounge furniture from Prim Rentals. From the unique statement floral for the ceremony setup to the delicate blush gown from Bella Lily Bridal, not a detail was left unfinished, and we are swooning over the images captured on film by Elyse Hall Photography!

There may just be nothing we love more than a warm summer’s day and a gorgeous garden! This inspiration shoot, set at an historical Earl Young Cottage in Charlevoix, Michigan, is awash with color and texture. Jennifer Haf of BLOOM Floral Design created an intimate arbor with floral accents and billowing fabric to frame the gorgeous table. Fresh patterned linens and floral-print stationery from Tableau Events echoed the colorful ribbon-tied bouquet. A gossamer Kate McDonald gown is both sophisticated and casual, with dewy makeup and flowing hair styled by Sincerely, Ginger. We couldn’t be more smitten with each beautiful film capture by Cory Weber Photography!

We couldn’t think of a more lovely way to start the week than with a Taylor and Hagan’s fairytale wedding at Nestldown, a fairytale location set in the Santa Cruz mountains among the redwoods. The couple worked with Gavita Flora to create a setting bursting with color and whimsy, and befitting the location in its full bloom. Long farmhouse tables from Classic Party Rentals were set with crisp white china and a mixture of soft greenery, fresh fruit, and vibrant full blooms. Set against all of the colorful florals, the maids’ J.Crew gowns in the palest of ivory were angelic, but of course nothing could upstage Taylor in her stunning Hayley Paige gown from Haute Bride. This wedding has our whole heart. We are completely smitten by each gorgeous image from Anna Marks Photography!

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and that may just be true because we have a big crush on Rebecca and Ross’ Dallas wedding! The picturesque Nasher Scuplture Center was a dream setting for their garden wedding, where tables were set amongst the larger than life sculptures and glittering lights were strung from the trees. Rebecca wanted arrangements to mimic the garden setting, and Stems of Dallas delivered with loose, natural flowers in neutral hues with subtle hints of peach and green. Everything about the day was so seamless that the couple’s wedding planner, Caroline Events, even described the grass as feeling as soft as a blanket! We adore the timeless feel of the bridesmaids’ ivory Jim Hjelm dresses paired with Rebecca’s floaty Watters gown from Mia Bridal Couture. Utterly timeless and beautiful, this wedding is an instant classic—get ready to fall in love with the gorgeous images from Heather Rowland!

Today’s gorgeous shoot is so filled to the brim with beautiful, we almost can’t stand it! Inspired by the vintage romance of English gardens and classic literature, Jen Rios Weddings envisioned a garden soiree with feminine details, accents of book pages, and—of course—a traditional afternoon tea. xoGinny created handwritten stationery, place cards, and even a positively amazing altar with a “love letter” feel, and the deep navy ink was a perfect complement to toile china from The Vintage Dish. Lush, organic florals from We + You in the palest of pink and peach are fresh and light set atop the tabletop from The Vintage Dish, and we cannot get over the gorgeous statement bouquet paired with a delicate lace BHLDN gown. We are utterly in love with each of the images from Nicole Berrett!

Magic happens when Holly Chapple is involved, and when the entire Chapel Designers Workshop comes together, you know it will be pure perfection! The Chapel Designers team created this whimsical garden wedding inspiration shoot that shows off the best of spring! Seemingly endless arrays of delicate blooms combine with elegant touches such as chandeliers, garden gates, and flowing linens to create a setting that is nothing short of wonderland. Genevieve Leiper captured all of the gorgeous images, enjoy each and every detail!

We are completely smitten with Katherine and Andy’s gorgeous California garden wedding! With the majestic trees and greenery of Palos Verdes Peninsula’s beautiful South Coast Botanic Garden as the backdrop, their picturesque wedding is full of understated beauty and sophistication. Elegant yet minimalistic decor from Flower by Kahee echoed the stunning surroundings, with lush white bouquets and reception blooms in delicate apothecary vases. The Grecian-inspired bridesmaids dresses by Atelier are to die for—as is Katherine’s romantic Vera Wang gown—and how lovely are the garlands adorning the cake table and bride and groom chairs? Jenna Kang of Divine D-Day brought the couple’s vision to life, and we love each and every image by Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie!

Sara and Chris’s romantic garden wedding at Hartley Botanica simply has us swooning! For starters, Sara’s White by Vera Wang gown–in a soft and sweet shade of pink–is nothing short of amazing! And with a backdrop like that, pastel roses in more shades of pink and lavender are a must; we adore the lush bouquet by Belle of the Ball Designs that Sara carried! Whimsical floral stationery from Minted further grounded the theme of this affair, where Sara and Chris took their vows beneath a canopy of curly branches, twinkling lights, and a jaw-dropping chandelier covered in lush blooms. Don’t miss a single detail in these stunning images by Valentina Glidden Fine Art Photography–we can’t stop staring!

My absolute favorite part of autumn is the vibrant, colorful blooms. Today’s fall floral board shows off the most beautiful lush compote centerpieces, botanical-inspired stationery, rich burgundy colors paired with the berry and peach of autumn, and—of course—as much gorgeous greenery as you can handle!

Oh my, we are drooling over the gorgeous wedding of Katie and Brian! The elegant 1920s touches mixed with a bit of rustic glam is just the perfect combination for an outdoor affair in Oregon. The design by A & B Creative is flawless, and flowers in shades of pink, lavender, green, and yellow by Fleur:ology Wedding Floral + Styling are unlike any we’ve ever seen! We like the fresh blooms on the side of the intricately iced Beaverton Bakery cake, too. Of course, we always love the romantic look of a Claire Pettibone gown; Katie added a veil from August Veils to hers, and she’s stunning! We simply adore these beautiful images from Deyla Huss Photography.

I don’t know about you, but one of the things I love the most about summer is all of the amazing colors. From the teal waters of summer vacation to lush blooms in shades of blue, green, and purple, the world is awash with all of the colors of the rainbow. What better way to celebrate the season than with a palette of fresh hues—shades from lavender to mauve, mint to emerald, and aqua to teal!
