Falling in Love with Autumn Weddings | Datura – A Modern Garden

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Are you ready for fall?  I know, sometimes it’s hard to let go of the summer sun, but what’s more cozy than the crisp autumn air and the cozy, intimate feeling it brings?  To get you in the mood, just check out the incredible design work by Connecticut floral designer, Datura – A Modern Garden.

Tony from Datura: Jenny and Tom were married at Jenny’s parent’s house in Connecticut – a stunning home that sits nestled in the trees atop a hill. For the ceremony, they chose a spot right in front of the pasture, hoping that the horses would come and be a part of the festivities. We decorated our custom iron arch with tons of southern smilax vine, then accented with purple kale and amaranthus for a natural, earthy look. The aisle was lined, from the house to the rows of benches, with our iron lantern stands. One crook of each stand held a floating candle, the other a simple design of kale, rosehips and amaranthus accented with cranberries.

Rustic Wedding Inspiration

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

The images below fit the style of rustic weddings to an absolute tee! So much greenery is used to create a real, natural setting. The birch tree candles and moss add so much detail giving off the earthy vibe. With neutral accents and earth tones to make up the color palette, there’s no going wrong with nature. I don’t think that cotton boutonniere could be more unique! For more wedding inspiration, head to the galleries on myKPW!

Rustic Floral Inspiration

Monday, July 12th, 2010

The rustic floral creations below are totally warm and welcoming. Each color scheme stands out beautifully within the natural setting. I love the rustic style because there is nothing fake or artificial as each floral design is simply fresh and earthy. No need to go above and beyond since nature is already at it’s best! My favorite creation is the small jar hanging at the end of the isle. Small detail completely makes all the difference. Check out the galleries on mykpw for more rustic inspiration!

A Modern Inspiration

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

From bold and bright colors to clean and simple lines, modern style details are sure to stand out in the galleries on myKPW! I personally love the hot pinks and deep purples in the photos below! The white couch with red accent pillows totally creates a modern vibe, especially with the rug underneath. Clearly, there are so many ways to add tiny touches to achieve the modern look whether it be a glamourous table setting or a simply decorated cake.
