The post Boho Forrest Wedding | Styled Shoot appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

Sarah Luthy, owner and floral styling genius behind Gwen Floral Co. was the floral designer on our most recent magazine shoot. When planning our modern boho styled shoot, we knew Sarah’s bespoke, romantic style would be perfectly suited to this shoot. 

Modern Boho Style

Style-wise, we gave Sarah the brief of a modern and edgy boho theme that would also be wildly romantic and elegant. Sarah used earthy and dried elements combined with beautiful fresh florals to create an unexpected combination, along with rich burgundy and dried neutral-toned foliages rather than green varieties. Dried florals are very on trend right now, and bring in an edgy feel. 

Hanging Installation

The hanging installation featured rambling foliage branches, striking dried palms and grasses, and carefully placed florals, all working together to enhance the beautiful space under the tipi.

The Bouquet

Sarah said of the bouquet, “We love designing unique one-of-a-kind bouquets that are truly a piece of art! We love utilising depth and dimension in our designs – every single flower has been carefully designed into the bouquet so that every bloom has its own place to shine. The bouquet was luscious and abundant in florals with relatively minimal foliage and textures to complement the carefully placed blooms.”

Colour Palette

Fresh whites and neutral tones were seamlessly paired with soft blush, dusty rose and some deep burgundy accents. The stunning orchids, premium roses and dried textures were the stars of the show, complemented by a careful selection of blooms. 

CREATIVE CREW

The post How to Style Boho Blooms appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

If you thought boho was going anywhere, you’d be surely wrong. Really… how very dare you! The very thought! Bohemian brides and grooms will be gracing our gorgeous wedding industry for some time to come, so strap yourself in for some seriously stunning boho inspo of the bouquet variety.

What makes a bouquet a boho bouquet?

First of all, say that five times fast and we’ll talk. Okay, now that’s out of the way, the second thing is that a boho bouquet should be a little bit eclectic. Combining a variety of elements works – flowers both seasonal and dried, as well as luxe imported blooms. To add texture and abundance, a boho bouquet might include the use of berries or seed pods and ample foliage. 

Contrary to popular belief, the boho bouquet does not necessarily have to include native flowers, but if you were to include natives, the stand-out bloom would have to be the King Protea. 

Bohemian style consistency

If you’re having a boho bouquet, chances are you’re hankering for a whole bohemian wedding style. It’s the consitution, it’s Mabo, It’s the vibe… that’s it, it’s the vibe – bring the whole look together by finishing off the bouquet with silk ribbons or even some macrame. I rest my case. 

Boho beauty + fashion

From your dress to your hair and makeup, your entire look from head to toe should play a part in bringing a bohemian vibe to your wedding fashion and beauty. Your hair could be wild and free with tousled waves, or even pull in the boho feels with some loose, creative braids. 

Check out these boho bouquets from some of our fave Sunshine Coast wedding florists…

The post 22 Boho Bouquets appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

Warm and welcoming, this eclectic boho chic styling under the tipi draws inspiration from across the globe, stitched together by the commonality of vintage love. 

Layered Textures 

Abundant with textiles in various textures and styles from richly coloured Moroccan rugs to furs and skins, and natural fibres, the styling of the tipi starts from the carefully curated flooring. Throughout the styling the use of embroidered cushions and macrame pieces adds more surprising elements that work together to create a boho chic vibe. 

Luxe Tipi Decor 

The tipi is laden with decor pieces thoughtfully arranged to create spaces within the space for sitting, eating, and being merry. An eclectic mix of rattan chairs, sofas and tables fill the Tipi Luxe tipi, strung with festoon lights and filled with dried floral designs in keeping with the colour palette.

Planning a wedding with two small children is no easy feat, and Immy admits it was a huge challenge for her and her now husband, Ben. However the pair not only managed to pull it off, they did so in style. Their boho beach style wedding with plenty of genuine vintage elements was a wonderful family celebration.

Guests embarked on international travel to be with the local Sunshine Coast couple for their big day in Noosa. Their intimate ceremony witnessed by 60 of their nearest and dearest was held at Hidden Grove on Noosa Main Beach, while their reception under a giant tipi had them dancing the night away with sand between their toes at Novotel Twin Waters Resort.

The Proposal

Ben proposed at Easter, I suppose you could say the Easter bunny brought a different type of carat!

Wedding Style

“We wanted to create a relaxed atmosphere, making sure everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves. A truly memorable occasion. Most importantly enjoying ourselves too and not stressing the small things.”

Extra Special Moments 

“Probably one of the most memorable things on the day was when I  surprised Ben with a special white dove release. When Ben first saw the doves he thought they were at the wrong wedding!

Having my grandfather pass away earlier in the year was quite emotional, in tribute I had a photo and sign set up “if heaven weren’t so far away, we know you would be here today”.”

Wedding Music

“Our 3 year old daughter suggested we use her favourite song to walk down the aisle to. Of course, how could we say no! Disney princess Rapunzel’s song ‘I See the Light’.”

This couple are doing life right. You can just tell. They call theirs a “once-in-a-lifetime” love, and say they’ve got that communication thing down, maintaining a long-distance relationship to perfection.

Elleah and Brent are a beautiful local couple from Peregian Beach, who were recently married at Yandina Station here on the Sunshine Coast. Their wedding was as pretty as it was heartfelt, and their 84 guests enjoyed a relaxed afternoon ceremony under the picturesque fig tree, an icon of the cattle station-come-wedding venue.

Sunshine Coast wedding florist Willow Bud created some of the prettiest bouquets and floral arrangements we’ve seen, in keeping with Elleah’s bohemian bridal style, featuring a magnificent King Proteus, soft roses, pops of lavender blooms and spilling folliage for that undone vibe. Tipping that gorgeous boho bridal style right over the edge is the fresh flower crown. 

Nick Evans Photo stilled the moment in history, capturing the couple’s boho wedding in the country in these here images. 

 The lads started their wedding day prep with a quick trip to the barber. Cuts and blow dries all round!    “My girlfriends and I decided to go out for some drinks to celebrate my recent promotion when my friends knew the group of mates Brent was with. We then all got introduced and Brent and I hit off straight away, the rest is history!”   The bride and her maids were airbrushed by incredible Sunshine Coast makeup artist,Natalie Hunter Makeup Artist    “Brent’s sisters and Mum organised a surprise high tea at Flaxton Gardens the day before our Wedding with all of my girlfriends. It was really special as they were still involved in our day.”    “Walking down the aisle to see Brent standing at the end crying was such an emotional yet happy time! Seems like I married a big softy!”    “We wanted to make sure that we created a day we could look back on and have so many amazing memories with the people we loved the most by making it a fun, relaxing atmosphere.”   “We are a couple that prides ourselves on being each other’s best friend and world and will never forget that what we have is a once in a lifetime kind of love.”    “We involved our family by having Brent’s adopted little brother and our niece as our Page boy and Flower girl, this was very special to us as they mean so much to both of us.”   “We have both been working fly in fly out away from each other for the last year on different job sites, only seeing each other once a month. This has made us so strong in our relationship and now marriage as we know how to communicate in hard situations.”
