A Charming “Peach Fuzz” Inspired Warehouse Wedding with a Contemporary-Yet-Vintage Vibe

Peach Fuzz. It’s the charming, warm, pastel pink-orange hue that stole all of our hearts when it was announced as Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year. It was also the design inspiration for this delightfully romantically retro 70’s-inspired wedding editorial.

Genevieve Brune of Blümen—floral designer and visionary behind the shoot—said it best when she called the color “both soft and bold.”

We are 100% obsessed with the contemporary-yet-vintage vision that planners from Thyme & Details and the talented team of Ohio-based vendors created for this editorial and the way it imagines the life + texture that a retro wedding vibe can bring to a more modern + industrial space like The Century in Columbus.

So sit back, chill out 70’s style, and enjoy Annie Darr’s wonderful photos of what Genevieve so aptly calls: “a glimpse into a wedding day crafted to look like the couple’s unique love story and not just another trend.”

A major source of inspiration throughout the project? Film + TV icon Farrah Fawcett and her unforgettable 1970’s style.

We are crushing hard on that playful short feather-edge wedding veil! Floral designer Genevieve of Blümen sourced all of the day’s wardrobe pieces at thrift stores to capture an authentically vintage vibe.

Speaking of Genevieve and Blümen: these FLOWERS! How dreamy + peachy is this bridal bouquet? Loving the drapey, dangling floral details.

Very into those Peach Fuzz wedding nails and that gorgeously colorful and unique engagement ring by Emi Conner.

Dreamy + Peachy “I Do’s”

Absolutely in love with that hand woven ceremony backdrop! The colors are peachy perfection and the textile feel is a terrific throwback to the major patchwork + macrame moment of the the 1970’s

Katherine Harrison was on hand to officiate at the shoot and create the full wedding experience.

More Lovely Looks

“One of the most memorable moments of the day was when Rachel and Oliver were able to let loose – with Oliver slipping into an easy, thrifted short sleeve button-up shirt and we cut a slit in Rachel’s dress and ditched the veil,” says Genevieve. “The transformation of their outfits matched the evolution of the day and the feeling of relaxing into the newly-wed life.”

A Chic + Retro Reception

These colors! 🩵 🍑 Who knew periwinkle blue paired so perfectly with peach fuzz!

“The venue features white walls and ceilings with exposed beams and pipes, giving a clean, industrial look,” Genevieve says. “The Century was the perfect canvas for our colors to pop and also allowed for a fun, hand-crafted hanging installation over the head table.”

Linens + tabletop decor from Got Ya Covered Linens created a beautifully blue background against which those peachy florals could pop.

Lollipops really do make such lovely + unique wedding guest favors!
