I’m celebrating one of my favorite wedding trends today with an ethereal woodland wedding inspiration board! For the last few year’s we’ve seen rustic weddings interpreted in burlap and mason jars, but there are so many other ways to give your wedding that organic, woodsy style! I have always loved the idea of a woodland wedding – blooming florals, earthy tones, and a gorgeous outdoor location set the perfect stage for an event that celebrates the natural beauty of your venue, wherever it may be.
The best way to develop a color scheme is to use your surroundings – the ambient colors of the location and the season – and when it comes to a forest setting, what could be a more fitting combination than green and brown? All right, ‘green and brown’ doesn’t sound like the most romantic palette, but when you’re talking about leafy green vines and worn brown barn wood, it certainly gives it a different spin. Add in soft, neutral tones in blush and ivory – matte sequins, tissue-thin chiffon, delicately blushing petals, and it adds warmth to an earthy color combination. There’s so much room for romance when it comes to a woodland setting – this is the place of fairy tales, after all! A sweeping gown and jeweled accessories create an elfin princess bridal look, while loose and lush florals mixed in with jewel-bright garlands capture the enchantment of the forest.

Stunning! I love it.
Gorgeous inspiration board!
Love this color pallete! More, please!
This is so pretty and romantic, I agree using your natural surroundings created the best ambiance. I love the details of the centerpiece decor.
Beautiful!
Probably one of the most perfect palettes.
I love woodland weddings and this is so romantic and gorgeous! The gold accents for that bit of elfin glam is so perfect. The silly geek in me is thinking that this is exactly the sort of look I would have loved for Arwen on LOTR. That would have been stunning!
The geek in me loves that you thought of the Lord of the Rings!
What a pretty palette!
Yes! Those leafy green colors mixed with blush pinks and hints of gold are sublime!
