Neutral Wedding Inspiration With Loads of Amazing Texture

South of France Neutral Wedding Inspiration

We love color as much as the next gal; but, there’s something so classically cool about a neutral wedding. Before you write off neutrals as ‘boring,’ consider what they’re paired with. For today’s wedding editorial, we’re exploring a classic neutral palette of ivory, fresh whites + muted mauve with tons of texture! Could adding texture be the key to nailing a neutral wedding?

We’re always onboard with a wedding vision that’s fearless! The team behind today’s inspiration tackled this neutral palette beautifully, while adding on contrasting styles + loads of texture. Here’s more behind the inspiration from McKenzie Jayne Designs: I was inspired by the raw minimal vibe that the South of France inspires. Conversely, Calgary is filled with a lot of moody palettes; including limited lighting, dark woods, rustic florals, etc. The wedding season is limited to literally 2-3 months here as the weather is so cold year round – this inspired me to bring a light airy raw foundation to this shoot. Encouraging brides to think outside the box, and still have their dream wedding in a space they would have never thought was possible.

It’s modern minimalism at The Commons with every added texture we never knew we needed – let’s see it from the lens of  Sarah Pukin Photography:
