Liz Pepperell Garden Illustrations

 

 

I love botanical and garden border illustration, and Liz Pepperell is one of my favorites. You can purchase her illustrations online, and wouldn't that be a pretty and unique way to design your invitations? This is a garden inspired layout, with happy dragonflies buzzing around reusable topiary centerpieces...{Dress: Marchesa, Sp 08; Apple image: Junebug Weddings ; Handmade rose fabric rings: Brides Magazine; Topiary: MS Weddings; Fair Trade bracelette by Columbian artisans;  Dragonfly Earring, handmade by KT Collection;  Scarf: Vintage Indie.}

Posh Girl Vintage and When Lilacs Bloom

 

 

In-season flowers don't need to travel a great distance to get to you, and they won't have unhealthy pesticide levels either. Lilacs are always among the first Spring blossoms to bloom...and they're a vibrant, deliciously-scented addition to any celebration. Clockwise from top left: rad gold clutch, poshgirlvintage.com; darling enamel necklace by lulu and delicate swarovski crystal bangles by opheliax, both on etsy.com.

Color Palette: Lilac/Silver/Green

Photographer Lisa Dawn + Flag Bunting

Today's props go to Photographer Lisa Dawn from the UK sent me her photos from this wedding, it was held on an organic farm (Huntstile) in Somerset.

 

I love the simplicity of the overall affair--it makes the vibrant color palette really pop. Nice bridesmaid dresses--for sure you could wear these again.

 

I really like the wedding gown--a straight column, really a sheath, with straps (yay) and a very simple train. Elegant, timeless, beautiful. And the groom looks awesome in his (wear it again Sam) suit. And love the flower petals (no rice please, and bubbles--yawn)

 

And I leave you with the cute bunting--looks to me like a little Cath Kidston moment. See, it's not so hard, right? Now tell me what you're NOT doing to make your day a little more simple, sane, and sustainable!

*As always, I do not get paid to post, Eco Chic Weddings is a strictly editorial site so you can be sure I don't showcase just any Tom, Dick, or Marry. (get it?)

It might be sub zero temperatures in much of the Northern Hemisphere, but that doesn't mean you aren't thinking about having a garden wedding. If you are, you should for sure check out Studio G.  This blog will give you tons of idea and good advice about what you should keep in mind if you plan to tip toe through the tulips, or whatever.
