Nature has been the inspiration of art, literature, and weddings for centuries. With the vast beauty of nature, it’s not hard to see why people draw from the natural environments that surround them.
The vastness of nature can be as overwhelming as it is beautiful. And trying to incorporate nature into all the small details of a wedding can be overwhelming as well.
However, planning a wedding inspired by nature doesn’t have to stress you out. Once you know what to look for, decision making can be much easier.
The Venue
One of the easiest ways to incorporate nature into your wedding is the venue. As the setting of the event, it’s one of the biggest influences on the vibe and style of the wedding.
For weddings inspired by nature, you’ll want a venue that reflects that. Beachfront resorts, cabins in the mountains, and flower fields are all potential venues that have a natural setting.
But if you can’t get married out in nature, you can still add some elements to a venue to bring a natural touch.
Choosing Colors
Colors are evocative, which makes them ideal for bringing out a natural theme. The right colors will incorporate your favorite natural places throughout your wedding. In general, having one main color with two accents is ideal.
Earth tones are a great place to start. However, to capture a specific place in nature, you should narrow the earth tones down to a specific color scheme. Beachy colors are vastly different from ones associated with a forest.
Once you have your color scheme, you can incorporate them through different details. For example, you may choose sage green bridesmaid dresses or lavender table linens.
The Right Materials
Often overlooked, materials and textures can do a lot for evoking a natural theme. These can be subtle details that make a big difference in the overall look of your wedding.
In the case of table linens, choosing materials like linen, tulle, or cotton can all have different impacts on the feeling of the wedding. Incorporating materials like wood, glass, and metal can also bring in the natural theme.
Decor and Details
Decor and small details are one of the easiest ways to add some natural elements to your wedding. Florals and greenery, particularly, will make a big impact. Dried flowers and greenery are also an option for wedding decor.
Small details around the wedding venue, like candles, place cards, and drapery, can all be a way of furthering the nature theme. Lastly, your food and drink menu can be inspired by nature to give you and your guests the full experience.
A Wedding Inspired by Nature
Whether you’re in the mountains or by the sea, most people have a place in nature that they feel inspired by. It makes sense that they want their wedding day to reflect the places they love.
You can incorporate your favorite natural scenes and plan a wedding inspired by nature. Take time in that natural element and soak in all the details you like about that place to bring back to your wedding.
