Summer is loved not only for the glorious weather and balmy nights, but also for the abundance of fruit and flowers in season. This watercolour garden wedding inspiration features fresh ideas from ceremony to reception, with lush bouquets, gorgeous gowns and flower crowns. Infused with lavender, peach and lemon hues, this is a shoot that truly delights the senses.
The Ceremony
Framed by a greenery entwined arch, a stone amphitheatre is encircled by romantic pillar candles, setting the stage for an elegant garden ceremony.
A Fresh Palette
The lavender, peach and lemon colour palette was born from a love of the hues, flavours and aromas that they each embody.
The Reception
Nestled in a hidden hydrangea garden, the reception styling is soft and romantic, with dreamy watercolours, warm wood tones, hints of gold and touches of French provincial. Footed vases overflow with rich blooms – brightly coloured taper candles, glass beaded chargers, gold cutlery and gathered linen complete the look.
Sweet Favours
Jars of homemade peach and lavender jam, lemon butter and lemon marmalade make for delicious wedding favours – a cute but inexpensive gift with the fruit available this time of year.
The Stationery
This whimsical invitation suite features torn white card, a soft lavender wash, grey lettering and pretty watercolour florals.
Lounging in Luxury
A plush white lounge setting paired with gold geometric candle holders and textured floral arrangements offers guests the perfect opportunity to recline in style.
The Dessert Table
Set atop a vintage dresser draped in soft fabric, watercolours are used to create a beautiful hand painted cake. Lemon cupcakes and lavender macarons presented on gold stands complete the delectable display.
