We're stripping things back today and keeping it oh so natural with some incredible minimalist wedding dress inspiration from Cara Zagni Photography. There are wicker chairs and placemats, natural linens and ribbons, all of which are complemented with dried grasses and foliage, making for some incredible backdrops and tablescapes. Amongst all this pretty is a modern bride in a minimalist wedding dress, with an elegant updo and flawless makeup. And not that you need an invitation to join us, but it's always lovely to have one anyway, our fabulous recommended supplier Wonderland Invites provides you with some incredible stationery ideas. Enjoy.

Dried Wedding Flowers
When deciding what flowers to use for this shoot we wanted to try and match the tones from the decor. For the bouquet and arch, we used a variety of gorgeous dried flowers and grasses with a hint of ivory and burnt apricot which reflected the wicker details from the table and the terracotta tones from the stationery. For our installation above the table, we used all dried flowers and foliages. We wanted to keep the colours warm but not orange. Instead, we chose to work around burnt apricot, caramel and coffee tones throughout the shoot.
Two Wedding Cakes
Emma from Buns of Fun created two cake looks. The first look: Our vanilla and coconut tall cake featured smooth and textured buttercream, wrapping the vanilla bean layers in a 'hug' style with rougher free edges. Ardorned with a simple large Alium seed head and smaller florets of seeds underneath the cake stand to create movement. The second look outside: Our vanilla and coconut tall cake with smooth and textured buttercream and a gathering of dried grasses and herbs, topped with dairy-free white chocolate and gold leaf wave."
BOHO WEDDING DETAILS
Jenna from Wonderland Invites wanted to hone in on the colour palette and create something both minimalist and in keeping with her aesthetic. She loved creating the wreaths, which featured both watercolour dried and fresh foliage and flowers. She also included simple line drawings of wheat sprigs to tie back to the modern harvest theme of the shoot. MiaSylvia focuses on ethical, sustainable and organic textiles for the eco-conscious. Each piece of fabric seen has been ethically sourced and hand-dyed by Mia. Mia uses 100% natural and hand foraged ingredients to dye with. From soft pinks dyed with avocado skins to the peach napkins dyed with cherry wood. Each colour is bespoke and personally curated for your special moments.
