Summer is my favorite season and so of course I’ve fallen in love with these sweet summer wedding concepts by Ashlyn and Heather of Carter & Cook Event Co. I think the palette is a so fun and there are so many great ideas that would be easy to incorporate into your day. Love how they incorporated cantaloupe into the day! Hopefully it will help inspire those of you planning a summer wedding next year. Oh, and the lovely couple – Ryan and Katie Scott – they are a real life couple who were sweet enough to model for the photo shoot. You can tell by the photos that Jessica Claire captured that they are truly in love ! And just wait until you see her GORGEOUS shoes! LOVE them.
Our summertime themed shoot was inspired by the carefree days of summer. Camping, gingham, popsicles, lots of bright color and texture played into the workshop theme.
Hannah with Modern Bouquet always does an incredible job bringing our vision to reality. The whimsical florals were such an elegant touch to the table. She also hand made a rustic chandelier for the ceremony area that was hung from an arch, that came from Found Rentals.
We knew right away we wanted to incorporate the natural setting of the workshop. Because of the rustic outdoorsy environment, we decided to bring in Jeni from Found and use her amazing collection of furniture. She is incredible to work with and has such a fantastic selection of pieces.
Anytime we get the chance to create a an element of design that may be hung over a tablescape – we take advantage! We attached various styles of rope to the Oak Tree, along with the left over fabric to create an eclectic and fun looking rope chandelier.
Our goal was to take the rustic atmosphere & theme but create an elegant space. We love the idea of mixing textures and patterns. Gingham and vintage floral prints began to paint a vision. We made a custom peach and tangerine floral printed table runner and navy gingham napkins. Posh Paperie created adorable place card flags that were secured in fresh pieces of summer fruit – cantaloupe! All the wedding signs were a beautiful combination of the two patterns. In order to off set the rustic environment, we used navy blue fine china, and then spray painted plastic plates as homemade chargers. A less expensive way to add color and another fun element to your table.
A small campfire area made up of various lanterns was created & included benches, a hammock, peanuts to snack on and a even a game of Bingo.
Melody, from Sweet & Saucy Shop created a cake table with 3 alternating sizes of cake, two of which had toasted marshmallow frosting! We designed a hand dyed tulle curtain backdrop for our cake table. The lighting created a beautiful focal point.
Thanks to everyone involved for sharing your talents with us – so much inspiration here!
