Wheat Field Inspiration
May 16, 2008 · Posted in color palette, inspiration boards, blue, yellow by myra
Wrapping up a week in weddingregionalism posts, I was trying to think of something romantic, carefree, and unique to post about. Don’t ask me why, but I thought of a wheat field and a wedding centered around this theme. I think I’ve always pictured wheat fields to be very romantic, with wide open expanses and ocean-like movements with the breeze. Wouldn’t it be picturesque? Here’s what I came up with:
Top row: Wheat field and barn photo, Polly’s Cakes, Brides
Second row: Center piece photo from uptowngirl, Wheat and lavender bouquet, Short yellow dress
Bottom row: Lemonade photo and recipe, Wedding dress by Carolina Herrera, Sandals, Lavender and wheat boutonniere from twigs & honey
I’m imagining a bride living somewhere in a bread basket state that is a free spirit, but not wanting to overdo the farm theme. Just light and airy design elements with a good balance between structured and relaxed.
Nice. We’re doing bundles of wheat tied with gold/orange ribbon as pew markers. Do you think people with hay fever or other environmental allergies might be allergic to it?
I really like the idea you have about the field wedding. The colors are exquisite! I love the lavender bouquet-it is so beautiful.
I’m not sure is people with allergies would be affected or not. That is a good question! If I find the answer, I’ll definitely post about it.
Thank you for the sweet comments. :)
I was a Kansas bride last summer and used wheat as a theme - we had wheat bundles lining the white wedding chairs, tied to fieldstone posts, and encircling the wedding cake table. We didn’t have any problems with allergies - other than a few bug bites from the outdoor event. Of course I’m biased, but I thought it was beautiful, natural, and classic - exactly what I was hoping for!
