There’s no denying greenery is having a major moment and finding its way into more weddings than we could ever count. But when you see just how stunning natural greens can be – from table runners to aisle decor to stationery motifs, cakes, bouquets, and more – it’s pretty easy to see why 2017 brides can’t get enough. *Enter* this inspiration shoot designed by the creative masterminds at Cedarwood Weddings with stationery by Design in Paper. It brings all our green-driven dreams to life, and the fabulous Julie Paisley snapped up every second.
Inspired by vintage drawings of botanical wreaths, our team used layers of natural vines and honeysuckle foraged from our historic estate to bring a magical, botanical feel to this garden wedding inspiration. Delicate and organic touches permeate event decor, with the addition of a few vintage touches like cloches, candlesticks, an aptly titled vintage novel, and a whimsical butterfly or two. The setting and styling are anchored in fresh green hues and pastel buds that make spring such a special season for weddings at our Nashville estate venue.
The timeless elegance of Historic Cedarwood encourages a blend old and new, for the ultimate Southern garden party. An elegantly understated tablescape using cool gray and dusty green hues is complimented by a loosely designed tabletop garland and soft, neutral florals for a modern garden aesthetic. The ceremony altar is crowned by a fresh green wreath and chair backs are connected by a fresh green garland to mimic the wreath motif. An ivy and honeysuckle illustrated botanical paper suite by Designs in Paper and a vine-entwined cake added cohesive detail to the organic, botanical wedding design.
We love the muted ivory tones of the bride’s tulle and lace gown by Hayley Paige from The Dress Theory. The bride (a wedding hair and makeup artist) did her hair in a wispy pull-up that looks as soft and natural as the setting. Her free form bouquet bursts with natural foliage and pops of garden roses, wrapped with the natural twining vine. The entire day was a wonderful collaboration with photographer Julie Paisley and the Cedarwood Weddings event team and vendors.
