Neutrals aren't everyone's thing so sit back and be inspired by this aubergine and coral Spring wedding palette...
From photographer Bonphotage: "This shoot was inspired by Monet's garden in Giverny, France in the Spring. After a trip there, I knew I wanted to recreate the elements that inspired me so profoundly and provide brides with inspiration for their Spring wedding palette. It didn't hurt that Pantone's color of the year, Living Coral, was lush and in full bloom when I visited Giverny, and I wanted to include elements of that color within our inspiration shoot. Monet's gardens were the basis for several of his impressionist paintings that have stood the test of time as piece that continue to speak to people to this day. As an impressionist he used the nature as an inspiration of something that is untamed but balanced. Using this as motivation for the emotion that we sought to evoke this editorial shoot came to life."

The luscious floral installation was created with blush, peach and soft green hues and was bloom heavy to feature the enlivening season of spring. A dreamy overgrown wildflower field was created for a wild and free environment, much like Monet's gardens themselves.
The cake was simple fondant, embellished with luscious florals and featuring giant Spring blooms in Pantone's color of the year, coral.
For the table and cocktail display, an overgrown bloom garden was featured with delicate ivory and gold plates from Festive Frog. Hand calligraphed table settings and cocktail signs were featured from Love Offering.

A dreamy overgrown wildflower field was created for a wild and free environment, much like Monet's gardens themselves. Renee with Frontier Flower of Fontana created this significant floral installation that had a base of curly willow branches that were each intentionally selected to lend their individual charted to the overall composition. The floral combination of lush amaryllis, whimsical scabies, stately delphinium and exotic phalaenopsis orchids were woven into the large design using clustering and grouping techniques for an impactful statement piece. Also included in the palette were roses, hellebores, ranunculus, tulips and poppies.
The brides wore floral embellished gowns by Blammo-Biamo and Anna Georgina for their first and vintage J. Mendel and Ange Etoiles for their second look. The veils were custom made with French lace made to mimic the floral patterns in Giverny, by Belle Custom Atelier. Both brides wore natural make up with easy, soft curls to create playful whimsy.
The cake was simple fondant, embellished with luscious and textural florals and featured giant Spring blooms in Pantone's color fo the year, Living Coral. The cake was inspired by Monet's later year painting where he focused much more on blooms versus scenery settings.
European artists influences continue to be the inspiration of romance and aesthetic. Creating an emotion with the use of so many beautiful pieces coming together to create a moment in time that no one will forget is what a wedding and marriage is all about. Create a sensory experience that no one can define that is filled with joy and warmth is what Monet created in Giverny that we are all still enjoying today."
