Slate Gray, Green and Ivory Wedding Style Inspiration Shoot

June 21, 2012 | editorial team

I adore the combination of organic textures with modern simplicity in this wedding decor inspiration shoot created by photographer Binita Patel and her talented team of collaborators. From the soft centerpieces in rock containers to the sleek shapes of the table and stemware, this is a table that calls for celebration!

From photographer and photo shoot designer, Binita Patel: This shoot was inspired completely by earth’s simplest color tones: green, slate and ivory. I really wanted to make sure that everything about this shoot felt very clean, simple and natural. Our linen supplier had a wonderful slate-colored over cloth, with a rough and almost rock-like texture, so this was the starting point of the design. From there, I enhanced the concept by choosing rectangular plates to maintain a sense of simplicity and really emphasize clean lines in the tablescape design. I went with more modern-shaped stemware and the the clear mirage chairs to add onto the modern feeling of the theme. I nearly jumped for joy when I saw that the florist had oh-so wonderfully designed the florals using an almost rock-like container. Even our hair and makeup artists stayed true to the theme by selecting natural and minimalist tones for the bride’s look. Everything came together beautifully, and the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter served as a beautiful and open backdrop for the shoot. With modern and colorful art pieces on the walls, the bright colors were the perfect compliment to the simple tones of the overall theme.

But may I just say, wow! What a truly unique and personalized wedding! I can’t get enough of these photos from their day.

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? We wanted to combine each others different styles and imagination into one creative expression. I grew up in Mexico City and Anton on a farm in the Austrian Alps. The basic idea was farm-style with a family flair. The beautiful venue at Sevenoaks offered the perfect foundation to bring nature, simplicity, a touch of luxury, and great gourmet food together. We wanted to keep it simple, let nature speak for itself, offer comfort, great healthy food and activities that would bring the family and friends together, because three nations were present at our wedding. We made it a three day event to give family and friends the opportunity to come together and celebrate with us.

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? We loved the natural surroundings and location of the outdoor venue. Making it a three day event and combining three cultures and two families was also very special to us.

What piece of advice would you give to a bride planning her wedding today? Always remember what you want your dream wedding to look like, but be flexible and open to changes as you go along. Surround yourself with vendors who support your vision fully and completely, and who offer creative additions rather than just their own visions. If some things dont seem to work out, take that as a possibility for something even better to come along. And have fun, avoid stressful situations as much as possible, and dont forget, Its just a wedding.”

What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning? From the mason jars and peonies to our AMAZING photographer Erica Velasco and her hit photo booth, it all made our wedding very shabby-chic and fun but non-traditional!

Where did you choose to hold your wedding, and how did the location influence your decor decisions? When I envisioned my wedding, I pictured an outdoor venue with tons of trees and sparkling lights. I searched high and low and found nothing. I even considered driving to Austin hoping to find something. Then I found this cute, very discreet wildlife Inn in Los Fresnos, Texas called The Inn at Chachalaca Bend. Pictures don’t do this place justice. From the entry way full of trees, to the sparkling lights everywhere, to their 3 story honeymoon lodge, I knew I had found the place where I wanted to get married.

What piece of advice would you give to a bride planning her wedding today? Hire a planner! Four hours after Joel and I got engaged, he boarded a flight to finish the last six months of his tour in Afghanistan. So, I sought the help of Mariana from Southern Social Events. She really helped me make my wedding a reality!
