Board #350: How fair is a garden

I knew when I saw this bouquet by Ariella Chezar in an issue of Well Wed that I had to include it in an inspiration board - some kind of secret garden, that bursts into color and life as soon as you discover it behind a hidden garden gate. And I would make sure that there was a swing like this, with ribbons tied to it echoing those tied to the bouquet. The palette and venue make this a flexible enough wedding to work in spring, summer or fall (personally, I'm dreaming of spring these days...). And though it could certainly be applied to a larger wedding, I'm thinking of a more intimate party in a special little walled garden.

Mood: vibrant, secret garden
Palette: satsuma orange, sweet peach, garden green

It's so weird! This is EXACTLY the kind of wedding I am planning for me and my guy for this August. We love orange and we're getting married in a village church here in the UK so this is the kind of look we are after. I am amazed at your creativity, it's inexhaustive.

i love the wooden boxes for seating cards. the board directs you to the stationer - does anyone know who made the wooden boxes? would love to know about them and the stakes

Love this, my colour again! I have just bought a lantern that would match this scheme perfectly and will use it for my own wedding. http://transatlanticwedding.blogspot.com
