Artful Florals with Aurora
Under the towering olive branches at Redbird LA, this stellar team created a gorgeous day filled with inspiration to show us how a painterly still life can be incorporated as a theme for a modern day wedding. With overflowing flowers, crisp foliage, and delicious fruit, I can't help but want to paint this gorgeous scene myself! This gorgeous bride wears our striking (and sparkling) rose gold gown, Aurora, which is a perfect pairing with the greenery at Redbird LA and all of the sweet details planned by Heartthrob Weddings. The gown is made of Couture French embroidery with a dusty rose scalloped floral border sprinkled with golden sparkles and layered over platinum silk. With a fitted silhouette underneath, and a sweeping a-line skirt of sheer tulle and embroidery, along with a modest neckline and open back, this gown is full of contradictions! Form-fitting and flowing, modest and sexy, Aurora is both modern and utterly romantic. And don't forget our Vintage Vine Veil to complete the look!
The florals by Lark Farnum Design are just breathtaking...and seasonless! I really could see these colors working for a wedding at almost any time of year. A gorgeous assortment of flowers in so many shades of blush, ivory, purple, orange and red, with accents of fruit to bring it all together shows the true artistry of floral design. Add in a sweet bit of cake by Nicole Bakes Cakes, and some pretty cocktails, and the scene is set. I always appreciate a good still life, and this team executed this wedding design beautifully while Mary Costa Photography captured the personality and spirit of the day.
You don't need a ton of vendors for a beautiful wedding to come together, but DO take the time to find the creative people that are right for you. When your team is insanely talented, has a clear vision that aligns with yours, and are true artists in their craft, they bring all of the elements together into a cohesive story...YOUR story. And when you choose artful vendors, your wedding itself will become a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Happy planning!
