Ask the Expert

Nature is amazing; there are so many different textures, colors, and aroma's - you never know what will inspire you and where you will find that perfect color palette for your wedding celebration. A sunrise walk at Muir Beach, hiking in Mt. Tam, or a visit to your local farmer's market may be all the encouragement you need to get your creativity flowing.
The primary theme of this celebration is a wonderful combination of complimentary soft greens paired with chocolate and wheat. The bridal bouquet combines pale green orchids, tulips, and nurines in a classic bouquet. Modest table arrangements of a similar style are neatly bound by organic twine - a twist to your classic white satin ribbon. I love the use of the artichoke as a vessel for candles - this unique and fun element also looks great when added to formal flower arrangements. Rustic lanterns surrounded by river rock are a great functional accompaniment to this overall design. The table arrangements are comprised of driftwood with cattails, bouvardias, and viburnums. These clever arrangements surround a trio of pillar candles and votives. The detail in the guest book is wonderful; the ultimate message in a bottle. This creative and unique idea makes a great "mantle" decor until you are ready to read all the well wishes from your wedding guests.

Color Palette Recommendations

The Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club features these color well, and they would look great at the Brazilian Room in Tilden Park.
