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!

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.
Spring may just be my favorite wedding season, and today's ethereal wedding palettes celebrate that beauty! Whether it's the perfect combination of delicate pastels, natural earth tones, or chic neutrals, there's no wrong way to design for spring.
I couldn't resist bringing back this enchanting woodland wedding shoot filled with glittering pumpkins, with a romantic blush and rose gold palette that recalls airy spring as much as fall. Megan Robinson Photography and Leslie Dawn Events created a stunning enchanted forest shoot for any season!
I'm so excited to announce a new feature for Hey Wedding Lady called Styling Spotlight! One of the things I have always sought to do with this blog is to tell a story with event design - I started designing inspiration boards with that goal in mind, and I've loved being…

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!ReplyCancel
