From the Photographer: For this wedding styled shoot, I wanted to inspire brides to bring in unique details into their luxury wedding design from generous gardens and orchards, highlighting their colors. In history, especially European, homemakers would decorate their homes with fruits and vegetables. By nodding to this old tradition, the beauty and natural earthy tones could be a part of the color palette for a wedding. We pulled together rich hues of oranges and pinks to accentuate the natural colors found in ripening tomatoes, green beans, berries and apples that we used on the tablescape and in the bridal bouquet. Pulling in luxury and personal elements, the bride and groom celebrated with Brut champagne together. The moments opening the bottle brought about excitement and defined the moments of the wedding to be that of remembering and celebrating finely! A love letter from the groom to his new bride written in calligraphy was the perfect romantic and meaningful element. The cake design featured old world texture and the soft greens from berry vines. Bella Belle Shoes added to the intricate details with dainty pink and green beading. All in all, this inspirational wedding shoot is to inspire the ethereal-hearted, romantic bride to create memorable details in her wedding experience that are unique and nod to the garden and past.
