Today’s raw gem and geode wedding inspiration is the laid-back, slightly bohemian cousin to my modern, glamorous gemstone inspiration! They’re both relatively minimal designs and both incorporate crystal elements, but today’s inspiration focuses on a less polished version of a gem inspired wedding. As the daughter of a geologist, I grew up learning that stones carry meaning in them, and symbolize and elemental connection to the earth, so it makes sense to incorporate them in wedding styling and themes now that organic weddings have become such the rage..jpg)
Crystal elements and gem details on their own make for a lovely wedding concept, but play around with adding lush, overblown floral arrangements and trailing vines to soften the clean edges and sharp lines. Keep complementing elements softer and more natural to play off of that geometry, while incorporating a palette of shifting iridescent hues. Pick colors that accent the crystals and gems in your design – in this case on the magenta of tourmaline, the soft blue of iolite, the deep purple of raw amethyst, and the pink of, well, rock candy. Chunks of quartz or clear crystal is perfect for a touch of glitter without adding another color into the mix!

Love the addition of rock candy!
Pure gorgeousness – I love how pretty and feminine the palette is while adding some sparkle and texture. Based on all that you’ve said, it sounds like it was quite fun growing up in your household!
I was obsessed with geodes as a kid, so this organic theme will always be a big love! 🙂
Lovely! Whether they’re in or out, I’ll always love raw gems!
I can’t get enough of this colour palette and adding sparkling crystal into the mix is a chic and unique idea!
