I am from the gorgeous western North Carolina mountains and grew up immersed in nature. My personal design style is tremendously affected by my strong connection to the great outdoors. Give me twigs and moss and I am a happy girl! I was completely smitten when I saw this very earthly and sophisticated Denver affair shot by {Jared Wilson}. The design and coordination team at {Classic Creations} did a beautiful job bringing in organic elements with the chocolate brown and green color palate and the incorporation of cork board menus. According to photographer {Jared Wilson}, the decor was “…refreshing and the perfect accent to a wonderful mountain wedding.” And, lucky you, there are more images of this mountain-top soiree on Jared’s {BLOG}. Thank you so much for sharing these with us, Jared! Enjoy~Rachel

I couldn’t agree more Rachel. The bride and groom used the elements of a natural surrouding with such elegance! Great job. – Julie

The floral designs in this wedding are nothing short of spectacular! Here, the reception flowers add extra class to the already lavish {Four Seasons Biltmore}. There are two different types of floral arrangements for the tables: a low arrangement and a high, sprawling arrangement with bud vases filled with pink peonies playfully scattered underneath. This creates dimension to your space and I personally love it! Once again, I have to applaud {Mindy Rice} for her extraordinary work. For more inspiration from this gorgeous wedding, visit the Mary Jane Weddings {BLOG}. Thank you so much for sharing these images with us, Janey! Happy browsing~Rachel

These wedding images come from the very talented studio of {Mary Jane Weddings}. We have two MJ weddings to share with you today. Marie + Craig’s celebration is filled with delightful inspiration! The bright bridesmaid dresses add a burst of character and color to this traditional affair. How striking are those flowers? The pink peonies and orange parrot tulips are clustered to create some of the most striking bridesmaid bouquets I’ve seen. Flowers by the phenomenal {Mindy Rice}.
