Modern Summer Wedding with a Massive Papel Picado Backdrop

Our modern botanical wedding dreams are coming true with this stunning styled shoot beautifully designed by Clover Event Co. in Philadelphia. Using the natural greenery of the greenhouse venue at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center, this wedding inspiration shoot ties in the natural elements with with a palette of deep teal and pops of fresh citrus. We are loving all of the natural boho vibes from the bride’s dewy makeup and soft curls to the groom’s mustard tux! These photos by Magdalena Studios encapsulate the playful and colorful wedding vibes we love in modern weddings.

From the photographer, Magdalena Studios: Try to guess where this boho, midwest-inspired wedding took place! The answer: right up the street at Fairmount Horticultural Center in Philadelphia, PA. This couple celebrated their love among the cactus greenery in stylish attire provided by BHLDN and The Black Tux. Drinks for toasts were provided by Trailer + Tap and the intimate table setting was created by Magpie Rentals. These playful wedding vibes and bright color palette were designed in a sophisticated way, with attention to detail and neutral accents to ground the design and give it a more romantic feel. 

Clover Event Co. & Magdalena Studios partnered together to design this shoot at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center in Philadelphia. Drawing from the natural elements of the greenhouse, they designed the shoot around a palette of natural tans that were brought in through rattan elements, and accented it with deep teal, soft pinks and fresh citrus tones.

For the invitation suite, Barely Blush Ink used a monochromatic design with teal paper and a slightly deeper blue printing giving the suite a fun yet sophisticated feel. A tan envelope and soft white calligraphy added a neutral and romantic element to the suite and we styled it with bright citrus for a pop of color.

We sourced this bohemian inspired two piece gown from BHLDN for our model Kassi to wear and paired it with turquoise and brass earrings with a diamond ring and turquoise accent ring from L. Priori Jewelry. Her shoes were tan suede platform sandals that would be perfect for a beach or outdoor wedding in the summer months. The Maverick Bride kept her hair loose and natural and gave her face a dewy makeup glow.

For the groom Yosh, we choose a mustard tan tux from The Black Tux and paired it with a bright linen turquoise tie to give his look a fun and modern feel.

The highlight of our ceremony space was a hand cut paper backdrop by artist Karina Puente. Her design so perfectly paired with our bride’s gown and the tall hanging paper was made for the tall height of the greenhouse entrance at the Horticulture Center.

Allium Floral kept the florals minimal for the ceremony as to not compete with the backdrop and focused her attention on the tablescape, which included pink vases and driftwood, filled with textured blooms and lots of dried elements. Her florals were set atop of natural wood Cassias Table and Elmwood Chairs from Party Rental Ltd. Their Sedona Wood Flatware and Teal Pandora Goblets were the perfect finishing touches to this tablescape.

 

The rest of the reception space featured a lounge from Maggpie Rentals, which was accented by textured pillows and bright candles. Trailer + Tap, a new Philly vendor who are providing draft beer and cocktail services for weddings, were also featured in the shoot. Their trailer was the perfect fit for the vibe of our shoot and would make for such a unique activation site for any wedding.

For dessert, Frosted Fox Cake Shop designed this aztec inspired cake and pulled inspiration from the bride’s dress and the cut paper ceremony backdrop. We loved the all white look with just a pop of the turquoise accent on the middle layer. The naturally growing cactus in the greenhouse space made for the perfect backdrop to style our cake display.

It’s hard not to be obsessed with this modern botanical wedding, am I right? We love the natural beauty mother earth provides so check out this gorgeous English Rose Garden Wedding styled shoot for more nature-loving inspiration.
