Succulent Garden Wedding Inspiration in Indigo
Today’s Anthropologie inspired shoot is all in the details – well more specifically, the texture! From the acrylic menus to the hand-dyed napkins to the ombre succulent backdrop, creativity abounds in this story. We’re *ahem* pretty big fans of the Anthro brand, so it’s no surprise that we were ooh-ing and ahh-ing at every design from Naseem Events‘s vision. A little color and a whole lotta spunk, Danyelle Dee delivered a gallery that we’re bookmarking forever.
From the stylist, Naseem Events: “The initial inspiration for this styled shoot came to me in a very simple form; texture. I had just finished taking a Ginny Au styling course and felt led to start creating a mood board based off of particular textures that spoke to me. I ended up with a palette whose end result you see in the gallery below.
I worked with Cara (the owner), Laura (manager), and Sharon (their in-house florist), to make this dream wedding reception a reality. Sharon and I worked together to create smaller floral arrangements to fill the space with. My goal was to go with less color, but again – more texture. The vessels I picked out were all from DIG and each unique in their own way. Even in constructing the dessert table vignette, I wanted to showcase multiple tables of different sizes and shapes. I think there’s something so enamoring about aesthetics you don’t see every day. We’re so used to seeing one cake on one table at weddings, so this look was so fun for my team to put together. Thanks to the talented Kathleen of Spoonful of Sugar Cakes for outdoing herself with the gorgeous metallic-tinted cake.
Next came our models. I knew right off the bat I wanted a redhead, so naturally, my fellow vendor and friend, Shannon, came to mind. Shannon is also a photographer which is how I met her earlier this year. She and her boyfriend Brandon have such a natural chemistry and romance about them. They were a joy to work with and their attitudes truly encompassed the love I wanted to portray through this shoot. I wanted to keep her look simple and hip, so went with very minimal jewelry, natural makeup, beachy waves, and finally a statement hairpiece to steal the show (thanks to Sharon!).
The table set up was personally my favorite part of this shoot because of all the elements I was able to incorporate. We used DIG Garden’s beautiful farm table and chairs and topped the table with Rachel Wadell’s beautiful hand-dyed indigo napkins, a gorgeous set of mismatched Anthropologie plates I picked out, and natural wood cut flatware. Angie of Bobo Design Studio came alongside my vision and created these stunning vellum menus and laser cut name cards for each seat. My favorite part? The little sea salt graters on each side of the table stole the show (thanks to Dig!).”
