I have the sweetest couple getting married on a vineyard this October! So I've created an equally sweet inspiration board for them featuring their color palate of fig, blush, and coral. The bride originally liked the idea of coral and turquoise blue, but coral is such a traditionally summery color, that the lighter blue was pulling it too much into spring/summer. So, we kept the coral/blue theme but took inspiration from arguably the most beautiful fruit there is: the fig. The almost-black purpleish-blue skin covering the gorgeous coral and blush tones inside are divine and provide the perfect color backdrop for a wedding on a vineyard, surrounded by sprawling grape vines.
For centerpieces, we will be using less floral and more arranged fruit elements to give the feeling of harvest time on the vineyard. I love the striking contrast between the pale linen color (blush) and the super dark, texture-filled fruit centerpiece. Delicious.
Since everyone is so into vintage weddings right now, we decided to have a bit more of a modern flare with elements like a black chandelier hanging over the head table, hanging glass bulbs with candles in all the trees, and clear "Ghost" chairs for guest seating.
There will still be some sweet vintage-esque elements like burlap table runners and wooden fruit crates to serve as coffee tables next to adirondack chairs (with modern-feeling throw pillows) during the cocktail hour to provide attention-grabbing contrast and to keep with the natural feeling of the property.
And since there's a beautiful pond in the middle of the vineyard, we'll be taking some shots in a row boat, of course. What bride doesn't want to step into a row boat on the water in her wedding dress??
To round out this theme, I'd love to see sliced figs wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with EVOO and s/p on everyone's plate as they sit down for dinner. Yum.
