Friendly Inspiration: Haley

Haley's Friendly Inspiration (introduction found here) is being posted a couple of days late, but this fusion of a bohemian and vineyard wedding makes the wait so worth it! Enjoy this stylish Ohio fall wedding.

Haley's Friendly Inspiration:

The Colour Scheme: To create a woodsy, fall wedding, the colour theme will be emerald, cream, and mustard yellow. 

The Invitations: The invitation suite will feature an earthy border and unique banner detail. 

The Venue: Mon Ami Winery

The Ceremony Location: The historic Mon Ami Winery has a beautiful meadow in the middle of cascading trees that will be a perfect setting for Haley's woodsy ceremony. 

The Reception Location: The reception will take place in the open space of the winery with views of the vineyards.

The Bride:

The Dress: Haley will wow in a Maggie Sottero sweetheart gown in vintage cream lace. 

The Accessories: To bring the colors of the wedding into her look, Haley will carry a bouquet featuring mustard yellow, emerald, and other fall flowers. Accenting her braided half-up, half-down hairstyle will be small cream flowers. Haley will also wear vintage-inspired cream and gold earrings.

The Bridesmaids: Each of Haley's bridesmaids will wear an emerald gown in different styles and will carry a cream and emerald bouquet. 

The Groom & Groomsmen: The men will wear grey-brown tweed vests and emerald and cream boutonnieres. The groom will wear an emerald tie and his groomsmen will wear emerald bow ties. 

The Ceremony: To accent the beauty of the woods and starry sky, the trees will be decorated with hanging lanterns and twinkle lights. The aisle will be lined with wooden benches and natural plants. Two signs will also be used: one at the entrance to the ceremony and the other as the ring barer walks down the aisle.

The Cocktail Hour: The cocktail hour will be centered around the winery, with barrel cocktail tables, emerald and yellow wine bottles filled with lights, and arrangements accented with grapes. The guests will be served different types of wine and can snack on a selection of cheeses, crackers, and grapes.

The Reception: The reception will be lit with twinkle lights and glowing candles. The tables will be both circular and rectangular and will be surrounded by heaters to help keep the guests warm. The wooden rectangular tables will be decorated with cream lace runners and greenery with tall yellow candles. The circular tables will have cream tablecloths decorated with cream and mustard yellow floral arrangements and smaller yellow candles. The cream place settings will complete the tables. To add whimsy to the reception, the guests' chairs will be stained in a mustard yellow hue.

The Cake: The cake will be a simple cream on cream pattern accented with a variety of succulents. 

The Favors: Each guest will be thanked with a boho-meets-wine themed favor: bottle stoppers created with vintage doorknobs, handles, and gemstones. 

Next week, a fall burgundy affair.
