Creating a Woodland Jewel Tone Wedding

Picture
If you're going for a bold, rich, outdoor aesthetic, think emerald green, ruby red, plum, burgundy and royal blue. Aka in food colors, figs, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and plums. It's passionate, it's deep, and it works. 
After this styled shoot, I seriously recommend everyone consider a jewel tone palette especially with a woodland, outdoor venue. Let's me tell you why and remind you of the "why" for getting married!

Remembering the "Why" in a Pandemic Wedding

It's 2021 and we are coming out hot from a very disappointing, restricted, pandemic wedding year. While we have gotten a much better grasp on how to do weddings now, it's good to pause and remember why you are getting married in the first place!

My "why" for designing florals is to express the beauty of something greater. I.e., your wedding and what that represents. This is the union of two people, the love for another over oneself, and creating something beautiful to celebrate this commitment. 

If you keep this in mind, all the planning and pivoting will be way less stressful and more meaningful for you. 

So, let's dive into how to incorporate jewel tone colors into your wedding!

Jewel Tone Florals

Instead of incorporating ALL the jewel tone colors into the bouquet, I focused on a few colors,  magenta, purple and red wrapped in a charcoal ribbon. Anemones were the star flower (I mean, how can it not be..!) along with roses, lisianthus, safari sunset, and textural greens. ​

Woodland Outdoor Venue

Props to our photographer and stylist who found this woodland gem tucked in Boston, MA. We were surrounded with giant, swooping trees that was the perfect backdrop for the bright, bold jewel tone elements. The deep dark greens gave off an enchanted feel which was brightened up with our picnic set up (see below).

Table (Picnic) Set Up and Design

Rings & Ridges did a stellar job styling this cozy chic charcuterie picnic! The velvet, luxurious blankets at the ends of the picnic blanket helped set up that cozy feel. The royal blue plates added elegance and depth. The fairy lights and candles added romance and magic. And the food... charcuterie board, cake, and wine. What more do we need?
