This bohemian wedding inspiration shoot is one of my favorite sessions to date. We choose an “upcycled bohemian” theme in order to show that a wedding could be both beautifully eclectic and eco-friendly. To accomplish this, we highlighted re-purposed goods and assembled sustainable vendors with the same vision. Our inspiration for the design came from textures such as worn wood and glass, and our color scheme was inspired by the fresh spring flowers that Tara at Silver Lake Farm selected and grew for us.
The day was sprinkled with all sorts of beautiful upcycled elements. The women’s wedding rings we used were handcrafted and the man’s ring was created from an antique spoon. The desserts were created entirely from local ingredients from the farmer’s market and were vegan and gluten free. Additionally, all of the flowers were grown locally and organically at Silver Lake Farm. Much of the furniture was reclaimed and the invitations were printed on real wood. All of the plates and flatware were meticulously collected by Laura at Dish Wish to create a beautiful vision of antique porcelain. Topping it off was a fantastic turquoise truck, a complete happy accident and welcome addition to the last moments of our shoot as the sun disappeared behind the LA mountains.
Choosing to have an environmentally conscious wedding day will add a special and personal element to the day, while allowing yourselves and your guests to feel closer to Mother Nature.
