Organic Wedding Inspiration Set Along A River

elemental river inspiration

Today’s sweet styled shoot from Firm Anchor + Jaclyn Journey pulls inspiration from some of the elements: earth, water + air. Love the concept! With a nod to organic materials like minerals, metal + driftwood, and a gorgeous color palette of emerald, mint, blush + gold, there are so many lovely ideas that would easily transition to a natural, al fresco wedding or celebration! And what could be prettier than a wedding on a river! Such a picture-perfect setting.

From Firm Anchor, Liz is wearing some mineral rock jewelry from a designer out of New York, and a sweet dress from Free People. Brian is wearing a super awesome floral shirt by Topman which brings in all the colors we wanted for the shoot.

On the tabletops we used gray stone plates and pink florals to bring spring and earthy together. Each place setting has a favor for the guests: a terrarium that has a tag that reads “keep love alive”. We tied this theme in with the sweets table with a sign that says “keep love sweet”. And again with our water bar that says ” keep love refreshed”.
