An intimate gathering of friends and family in a backyard wedding and reception venue is a personal way to commit your love to each other and celebrate joining your lives together. A backyard setting is familiar and the atmosphere relaxing. Thoughtfully created floral art can make the gathering even more romantic and memorable.
Emily and Kevin’s wedding was a joyous backyard ceremony and reception with family and friends together to honor the happy couple and enjoy the elegance of Emily’s style and interest in the natural world. In addition to joy, both peace and harmony were messages proclaimed by the non-traditional succulent floral design woven into the bride’s bouquet. This pastel color theme with fresh succulents and flowers also adorned the wedding arch and the bouquets carried by Emily's bridesmaids, her two sisters.
Emily's floral style welcomed guests to the reception tables, with the succulents and blossoms selected and arranged in wooden boxes to evoke images of peaceful gardens and natural fields of wildflowers. The arrangements complemented the style of the table settings and blended quite well with the nearby succulent gardens and greenery in the family’s backyard.
Although a bride may choose a very personal style for her wedding in any venue, it is especially appropriate for personal style and taste to be reflected in the colors and types of flowers used in a backyard setting. Interesting and unconventional ideas can work quite well with the help and creativity of a good floral design artist – to make the long tradition of weddings and marriage as unique as each couple is unique, and as memorable as one of the most important events in a person’s life should always be.
