Today’s slice of inspo from Floressence Flowers and Almond Leaf Studios (and the entire vendor team below!) has an old world vibe, yet a layer of modern lovely woven in. From the coral, mauve and beige tones and a hint of black for contrast to the sweeping Samuelle Couture dress, it’s exactly how you blend two styles into one gorgeous event—see it all here.
From Floressence Flowers… The vision for this editorial shoot was an intimate elopement with a modern, chic and romantic European feel. We pulled inspiration from the beautiful layered and textured Samuelle Couture gown and from the venue, which is set amongst the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hotel Domestique combines the style of a French chateau with a luxury modern boutique hotel.
We wanted the wedding to evoke simplicity and minimalism with textural elements to create depth. We chose an earth toned neutral color palette with pops of terracotta and black. The old world but modern quality of the stone patina style of Hotel Domestique’s exterior was a beautiful backdrop to all of the styling elements of the day.
We wanted their guests to feel as if they were sitting down to an intimate and relaxed al fresco dinner in the French countryside, to take in the beauty of their environment and surrounding scenery. The tablescape was adorned with layered elements, creating softness and depth throughout. The floral designs created by Floressence felt organic but modern by adding in textural elements like lunaria and pampas grass which gave the installations and arrangements a style of movement and added visual interest to the ceremony space and tablescape.
The paper goods that were created by Paper Birch were so unique. Lacy created terracotta engraved menus, the invitation suite was on handmade paper with a terracotta backing, all tucked inside a black suede envelope with an engraved leather piece which had the couple’s date and venue sketch on it.
The cake by Sugar Cloud Baking Co also incorporated a softness and modernity by creating a stone patina look enveloped by layered textural gold leaf design and adding lunaria to tie into the floral designs.
Our goal was to create a warm and inviting environment for their guests to really focus on the beauty and importance of the couple’s union.
