There’s an unexpected beauty to vintage botanical illustrations, so much so that they inspired this entire wedding theme. Wash a contemporary color palette over whimsical details and florals, like these canary- and emerald-colored boutonnieres from Studio Fleurette—perfect for a spring or summer wedding, to celebrate Minnesota’s all-too-fleeting warm weather.
Now this is a dessert display. Enjoy a slice of this sweetly simple two-tiered cake from Chowgirls Killer Catering, bedecked with a bamboo cake topper from Splendid Supply Co. and gumpaste blooms, atop a jadeite milk-glass stand. Other bite-sized treats are tucked into a display overgrown with greenery, moss, ferns and air plants.
Take a sip, won’t you? During your cocktail hour, treat guests to an apéritif topped with a flower stir stick. To up the elegance, serve your signature cocktails on bronze trays.
An updated take on traditional specimen drawings of days past, this invitation suite from Minted marries classic with contemporary. The modern sans-serif fonts perfectly complement the vintage floral design.
Satisfy your guests’ candy cravings with a decadent spread, filling cylinder vases of varying sizes with your favorite treats. (Just be sure to coordinate the candies with your wedding colors.)
Send your guests home with a party favor they can actually use: seed packets, like these disguised as escort cards and strung across a chalkboard with gold binder clips. With each watering of their new seedlings, your friends and family will think of your big day.
You’ve covered the cocktails, picked out your go-to brews and have course after course of savory dishes prepared for your guests. Before everyone sits down to feast though, consider passing hors d’oeuvres that complement your color scheme. Think a sample of a spinach smoothie or a shooters of cucumber gazpacho—both in shades of shamrock, naturally.
With dinner décor like this, your guests will rave about your style for years to come. Bamboo place cards from Splendid Supply Co. sit atop small plants (for guests to take home as favors!), while luscious terrariums, filled with fresh blooms, are placed along a table runner of moss and air plants for a look that wows.
