From Courtney Bowlden… The modern bride wants her wedding design to tell a story. A story of love, beauty, and nourishment for the soul. She wants to savor every moment of her days leading up, surrounded by the people she cherishes and the delicate details with which she has so carefully curated in the months prior. Our Modern Monet Bride draws inspiration from one of the most celebrated painters of the 20th century. Monet’s bold use of contrasting colors, ethereal light, and whimsical movement create the perfect modern fairytale backdrop.
She’s chosen a luxe color palette of surprising hues, focused on lavender, golden yellow, and salmon, with pops of lilac, brilliant yellow, and nude. Her palette and textures indeed transcend the seasons. She fills her day with impactful moments where she can slow down and enjoy the lush stillness of her favorite landscape… the countryside.
A slow afternoon, surrounded by the things she holds nearest and dearest to her heart: enchanting florals, her favorite book, and stationary, a cozy picnic with all the goodies her heart desires. She sets a tablescape for her closest friends and family, lit by golden candlelight and filled with the rich history of a turn-of-the-century schoolhouse. Golden hour light captures her elegant but free spirit nature. She exits ready for a journey anew.
