Fall Foodie Wedding Inspiration

gentleman farmer inspiration

The inspiration for today’s gorgeous shoot comes from the idea of a gentleman farmer — someone who farms or gardens for pleasure — as well as the arrival of one of our favorite seasons, autumn. From that sprouted a beautifully design shoot brimming with lots of lovely, rustic ideas, perfect for all of you who are planning a fall or foodie-inspired wedding! Here’s more from Love Me Do Photography, the talent behind the lens on this one:

We wanted to create an elegant, but fun tablescape using local seasonal florals and produce, some of which are grown on-site at our venue, the Wyck House – a historical home set in Philadelphia with a 250 year old farm + garden. Birchtree Catering designed a rustic late summer menu to match the setting + we made Blackberry Shrub — a drinking vinegar cocktail popular in Wyck’s heyday. Going into fall we wanted this to be a little bit of a summer’s last hurrah for us…

Incorporating garlic bulbs into the bridal bouquet is such a fun + unique idea for a farm wedding! This vibrant, Autumn-hued bouquet also features sage, dahlias, gomphrena, raspberries, zinnias, celosia, and a giant tillandsia.

All of the flowers for this shoot were grown on an urban organic flower farm right in Philadelphia. Love N Fresh Flowers chose vibrant hues of orange, salmon, red and plum to highlight the bounty of Autumn. A happy marriage was made between florals and culinary elements such as heirloom tomatoes, baby carrots, eggplants, garlic, raspberries, figs, kale, mint, and sage…
