I call it crazy, some call it faithful. Either way, Jessi stepped out on a ledge and entrusted me to help her execute her vision for a rustic romantic wedding and reception in June of 2010. She was precise in her instructions for the affair to NOT look precise.
We used tons of wildflowers - in plum, lavendar, eggplant, indigo, fuchsia - with giant peonies and antique-y hydrangea - and pops of lime green - to keep it natural and simple. It was like running through a field, a day of picking berries and flowers and throwing them into old jam jars for an impromptu picnic with friends ...and it was beautiful, just like the bride.
The bouquets were out of control - flowers spraying out of everywhere - color exploding. Jessie added a beautiful crystal broach to dress up the twine we used on her bridal bouquet, and all the bridesmad bouquets, as well as all over the reception as well. The twine was eclectic and natural - an easy way to create an effortless yet unique look.
The boots were worn the rest of the night...perfect for dancing.
The reception was equally boisterous - jars filled to the brim with flowers hanging from a giant wheelbarrow, galvanized watering cans pouring flowers out like water on the sign-in table and Candy Bar Station...basically flowers bursting from everywhere.
Each table was unique and special - no two alike - Jessie's quest to claim every mason jar in the state of TX and likely OK as well, created a truly magical and rustic look. The candle votives are small jam jars, as are the water glasses. Every detail had Jessie's undeniable touch.
I love that we tossed multi-colored rose petals at Jessie and Jason's exit from the reception - really fun with a kick of humor - just like the couple.
