Moody Monochromatic Wedding Inspiration with Baby's Breath
Baby’s breath. I’ll be honest that it’s not my favourite flower, and never has been. But for some reason, it was pulling at me earlier this year and I wanted to explore that a bit. I’m also not huge on white weddings, but again, I wanted to explore this monochromatic and scaled back palette of white, grey, and black.
And guess what? I kind of love it. A full table runner, composed entirely of baby’s breath en masse.
I took that concept of repeated simple elements and applied it to the entire event design: single element bouquet, single element table centrepiece, monochromatic colour palette, and so on.
As featured on Knotsvilla.
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: White garden roses, Queen Anne’s Lace (hidden WAY down deep), camellia foliage, and scented geranium foliage.
This design wouldn’t necessarily be the most practical for a real wedding scenario, but there are ways we can make it (or something similar!) happen! I’ve got some ideas for similar styles but using different flowers that I’d love to explore, too - hit me up if you’re interested in hearing more!
Mmmm I really, really love the way this tablescape came together. The smoke plates from C&T is the perfect neutral grey without being boring. The marble candleholders and black tapers are sleek and modern. The simple type on the flat place card is perfect. All of these details act as supporting elements that allow the baby’s breath table runner to play the centre role.
I selected this stationery suite from Minted (I have an exclusive discount code if you’d like it!). I chose it for the clean, modern type, the monochromatic colour palette, and the sort of watercolour/water stained background. I thought it would tie inn really well with the photo backdrop that I painted in shades of greys.
Nothing comes together without a fantastic creative team! Sometimes it can be a little exhausting pulling the entire design together but it makes it all worthwhile when you show up, set up, and watch everyone else do what they do best, too. Like the makeup, for example - Bobbi from Primped Nd Polished actually mixed up a custom shade of lipstick because she just wasn’t happy enough with what was available. Those are the kind of people you need to trust to make your wedding happen!
