Between the terrariums, metallic finishes, and industrial vibes we’ve noticed trending in wedding décor lately, we couldn’t help but notice one thing they all had in common: gorgeous geometric shapes! Shot in an Ontario apple orchard, this candlelit elopement shoot by Olive Photography captures the ultimate geometric wedding inspiration. Gold accents and organic florals are perfectly natural juxtapositions for this elopement inspiration shoot’s terrariums, wooden ceremony arch, and geometric desserts!
This English marquee wedding’s whimsical décor is positively adorable! Beth and James decked their marquee with DIY projects like floral arrangements, origami swans made from pages of old books, and even a homemade wedding cake. Beth wore a gorgeous Temperley gown with a beaded top and flowers in her hair for a perfectly chic yet ethereal bridal look! We love how UK photography team The Twins captured this lovely couple’s festive event with so much attention to emotion and light.
We wanted to get married somewhere which was special to us; we met in Edinburgh and live in London but when we started looking for where we might like to get married, everywhere felt too much like a ‘venue’ in either of those cities, rather than somewhere which felt like ‘ours.’ We had spent a wonderful holiday in Northumberland the year before we got engaged, and it’s a part of the world which has lots of significance for Beth’s family so, when we found out we could have Budle Hall for the weekend, we were set.
The ceremony was the most memorable part of our day. We shared very strong opinions about what we wanted to say and do during the ceremony: sometimes the marriage can get lost under all the other ‘stuff’ of a wedding, but we wanted to feel the importance of what we were promising and we wanted it to reflect what we believe about the world and what we care about.
We chose a humanist celebrant (the wonderful Kate Owens-Palmer) who listened carefully to what we wanted and helped us formulate our ideas into a coherent whole. We spent hours choosing the right combination of readings and songs, with three extraordinary people to read and James’ great friends Ben and Zac to arrange the music, perform and rehearse a mini-choir. The whole thing was magical.
Don’t get drawn in to spending money on things other people tell you are important for a wedding, or worrying about what a wedding ought to be like. Spend time together reflecting on what you care about, but also what you’ve loved about other weddings that you’ve been to together. When people ask you what you’re doing about a particular feature which you’ve never noticed or cared about at anyone else’s wedding, then you shouldn’t be bothered about it at your own wedding.
Let other people help you make it wonderful – the sense of shared ownership makes for a super special day in the end. We ordered buckets of wild flowers for our marquee and our mums spent the day before the wedding arranging them beautifully; our friend Gemma made our cake and did Beth’s hair and make up; our friends bonded over wrapping cutlery; lots of people learned how to make origami birds…
We made 230 origami birds; 100 out of old books which were strung up above the doors of the marquee and 130 on coloured paper which we used as name places/favours with each person’s name written onto it.
Congratulations to Beth and James, and a huge thanks to The Twins for sharing this gorgeous wedding with us! Want more marquee wedding inspiration? Then you’ve got to see this naturally beautiful English wedding at Ventnor Botanical Gardens!
The decision between long, round, or square tables has never been easier; farm tables are the obvious answer! Not only does this arrangement help a large reception feel intimate, but the design options are endless. An infinite amount of décor ideas can be a little overwhelming, so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite receptions to help you figure out what to put on your farm table to make your wedding reception beautifully yours.
Jewel Tone Linens
The perfect pairing for a rustic-style reception is a rich jewel tone palette and a long farm table. Crushed velvet teal table runners, aubergine napkins, and emerald accessories elevate the look of any venue, while giving your guests that warm, fuzzy feeling!
While some choose to decorate with smaller pieces down the length of the table, others make a statement with a few voluminous centerpieces. Designing a grand display with your florist can take your take your table from farm to fabulous!
These days, you rarely see a farm table without a lush surplus of greenery placed down the middle. Eucalyptus is a popular choice, but other leaves like ferns and even tropical fronds can change the tone of your whole table design.
Everybody loves a pop of color, and decorating your farm table is no different! We’re big fans of colorful glassware here at Junebug. Whether you choose an eclectic arrangement of textures and colors or streamline your design with a single style and hue, colored glassware is a practical and beautiful décor element!
We’re always looking for places to add a little texture and pattern into reception styling. A statement runner on your farm table can be the root of your thematic design. Macrame makes for a boho look, black and white stripes exhibit glamour, and an intricate print can add to an eclectic arrangement.
