Bright, Colourful Elopement Inspiration

This post Bright, Colourful Elopement Inspiration first appeared on The Wedding Community Blog

If you are looking to get married but don’t want a ‘big wedding’, then how about an elopement? You will see from this fabulous colourful elopement inspiration shoot that you can still have a beautifully styled wedding, and it’s the perfect way to say “I do” to the person you love without having to plan a big day and have lots of people with you, if that’s not your thing.

This elopement inspiration shoot has been beautifully styled with an amazing array of colour. The flowers in bright yellow, orange, pink and green are one of our favourite summer colour pallets.

Santa Barbara is the setting for this inspirational shoot and where the elopement ‘story’ is told: The wedding at the Courthouse, sunset toast on the beach, a walk around town as the new Mr and Mrs, and then dinner and cake for two in the romantic courtyard. How perfect does this sound?

We adore the styling of this beautiful shoot planned by Bluebird Productions, and Lacie Hansen has really captured the story in her stunning pictures. Enjoy!

Intimate Elopement

“Inspired by the colours of the American Riviera, a fabulous group of vendors crafted this perfectly intimate elopement.

Natural Materials

“The stationery to document the day featured natural materials. It included an etched terracotta menu, and an ‘announcement’ including rough wood, natural fibres and vows, to make those that were not there feel included.”

A Bit of ‘Pop’

“Bright and cheerful flowers decorated the intentionally set table to complement the colours of the surroundings, and added a bit of ‘pop’ to punctuate the celebration.”
