Tropics & Tulips Summer Wedding Inspiration from South Africa
Orange you glad summer is near? Filled with texture and summery hues, today’s editorial come all the way from South Africa featuring lush orange tulips, dried palm fronds and a delightful take on a tropical flora and fauna.
Whispering Thorns boasts floor to ceiling windows for allll that gorgeous natural lighting, and beautifully styled by Nova Event Planners full of earthy and vibrant colors. Inspired by a palm leaf, Mila Photography has captured the essence of a romantic sunset and we’re HERE for this organic beauty.
From the photographer, Mila Photography: My inspiration was a grey palm leaf and I wanted to create a piece of art to be our main focus for the ceremony and reception area. Our theme was organic, artistic with a sunset color theme.
Parrot illustrations, botanical scketches and scalloped envelopes, Design Bar wedding stationery was designed for jaw dropping moments and serious paper goods envy.
Our colors are muted with a pop of bright orange from the beautiful tulips. We created a perspex/acrylic backdrop with dried foliage and flowers to be a work of art. The ceremony area is very simplistic and modern. Our tablescape was also very modern and organic with gorgeous florals, dried greenery and seeds. The mix of a soft runner and dark crockery gives it a romantic but moody look.
We also found these beautiful oyster mushrooms to use on the cake and table. I just love the mix of textures, colours and elements!
These stunning florals by Lush Signature Floral Styling perfectly compliment the dramatic textures in the palm leaf backdrop. Sign us up for tall the earthy and organic composition!
We can’t get enough of these vibrant citrus summer wedding inspiration!
