SoCal Meets the Warm Midwest Woods in this Rust + Macrame Wedding Inspiration

When wedding photographers get together to create a new event venue, magic tends to happen. When that venue is built in the middle of a mystical, midwestern wood, it’s even more wonderful! Pinewood Weddings + Events is located in Cambridge, Minnesota, and is unlike anything around; with modern designs, architectural character + thoughtful styling.

With SoCal beachy, boho + southwestern style in mind, Leah with Leah Rivera Photography brought together two distant styles…resulting in some rad wedding inspo!  Trendy colors we love, like rust, emerald + organic neutrals bring this whole look together; and we can’t get enough!

Let’s check out the new Pinewood event venue, and see what magic we can find in this forest:

Beyond the Pines

Paper goods with modern botanics + a touch of whimsy by Copper & Carbon.

It’s impossible to decide which we like more: the incredibly lush, whimsical + woodsy bridal bouquet, or the juicy floral headpiece with bleached greens + soft feathers. Bloomberry Floral is giving us life with these abundant designs!

A-frame Ceremony + Rad Florals

It’s absolute wedding ceremony goals right here!

Stop everything with this macrame bridal jacket. Artful creations like this bridal jacket, macrame bouquet wrap + rad pom earrings all by Kindred Looms.

Handmade emerald tiles glazed to perfection by Mercury Mosaics. What an absolute brilliant way to walk into this event space. Not to mention, the best photo backdrop over!

Walk in the Woods

Some cool SoCal vibes brought in by this high waisted dress made of polka dots, tulle + crepe from The White Room Minneapolis.

These organic, earthy colors work so beautifully with the groom’s rust-colored suit, and with the bride’s suede camel bridal sandals. The woods are just so romantic! Check out this whimsical woodsy elopement.

Reception Table for Two

Peacock chairs always get us.

SoCal Cake

We’re ready to dive right into this SoCal boho wedding cake…because fondant succulents are THE CUTEST! The gold-painted, two tiered delight created by Luster Custom Desserts.
