There’s probably nothing prettier than a garden wedding, but sometimes it seems like garden themes are synonymous with pastel color palettes + overly-feminine elements. Well, the team behind today’s lovely styled shoot wanted to break that mold and design a vibrant setting that incorporated tomato red hues, bold black-and-white stripes and stylish touches of metallic gold. They also found a way to beautifully incorporate arthropods (<– the prettier way to say ‘insects’, you guys!) into the design plan. So genius! Hats off to photog Kimberlee Miller, Orange Blossom Special Events + The Little Branch for making it happen!
A super pretty garden-inspired invite suite by Orange Blossom Special Events got things started off on the right foot!
Dress designer, Elizabeth Mackenzie, shared one of her stunning works for this editorial + also lent her expertise at wardrobe styling the gorgeous bride!
The fun escort cards really helped take the insect theme to the prettiest place!
And even the crazy cute cake by Vanilla Bake Shop helped incorporate the garden-arthropod theme throughout.
The Little Branch can do no wrong when it comes to crafting the perfect bouquet!
A very pretty – and unique – take on a garden theme, right?! Thanks so much to the talented team of artists below for sharing their work with us today!
