Ritz Carlton + Engaged Magazine: Brunch Wedding Inspiration

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day, so of course I said yes when stylist Veronica Rogers asked me to interpret the florals for a spring brunch wedding editorial for Ritz Carlton and Engaged Magazine.

The flowers were textural, feminine, seasonal, and delicate; a perfect pairing to an exquisite brunch spread created by the Ritz Carlton Pentagon City chefs. The best botanicals of early summer were used throughout the decor, including garden roses, columbine, ranunculus, sweet peas, astilbe, peonies, and spring greens and vines.

Organic Stone and Vine Bridal Portrait

A delicate, miniature painting by Bridie Coombes was all it took to inspire this floral color palette of soft sage, warm ivory, and dusty muted peach and pink. The florals took on a sculptural quality through the support of sturdy spring dogwood branches, softened by floaty butterfly ranunculus, spirea, astrantia, and sweet peas. Oversized ranunculus along with clematis and parrot tulips served as grounding focal points among the frills.

Natural, Modern Winery Wedding at Early Mountain Vineyard

Early Mountain Vineyard has a beautifully relaxed yet elegant aesthetic, and we brought in natural greens, earthy grasses and dried flower pods along with ivory and soft terra cotta hues to work with the colors and materials in the space. I think the most important thing to consider when choosing your wedding flowers is your venue's aesthetic. Choosing a palette and materials that complement and enhance the space creates greater impact, therefore requiring fewer decorative elements. Less is more after all (unless you have an incredible oversized mantel like Early Mountain's, in which case more is more!)

This natural and warm wedding inspiration project is featured over on Style Me Pretty today! See even more photos from this creative project designed by Luxe and Luna and photographed by Shannon Moffitt over on SMP. Or scroll down for a few of my favorite images from Shannon.
