Picnic Inspired Weddings

June 15, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Picnic Inspired WeddingsI’m having a thing with picnics lately. Perhaps it’s because International Picnic Day is Sunday, or that the weather has been so lovely it must be enjoyed by sitting outside on a blanket. Carefree days eating an ice cream cone beneath a tree, there is so much to love when it comes to the sweet simplicity of summer, and that’s why this season is the most popular for weddings. Of course the biggest reason is that you can have the day of your dreams celebrated outside…saying I do amongst a clear blue ocean sky or and al fresco dinner that turn into a dance party below star filled skies. Yes, it’s no surprise I love an outdoor wedding, when my day comes, you know it’ll be spent amongst the beauty that is nature. Which is why I think picnic weddings are just the best, especially if you’re an outdoorsy couple or maybe a picnic was your first date. From a more casual and relaxed day lounging and sipping champagne, to playing festive outdoor games and an endless night making s’mores, the idea of a picnic wedding just seems absolutely lovely! I’ve gathered up some of my favorite ideas to inspire you to have a fun outdoor affair of your own…

When it comes to a picnic wedding, all rules are out the window. Make sure guests are aware they can expect to lounge and relax on your wedding day. Oh, did I mention having a wedding at a local park might save you hundreds. Some parks allow you to hold a party without any fee. Search for ones that have areas that are a bit more private for other park goers, maybe even one with a lake view! via Easy WeddingsPicnic Inspired Weddings

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
