Farmer's Market Wedding

Ideas and Inspirations | Photos and Galleries
Color Palette: colors of the summer season (red, green, orange, yellow)

Bountiful fresh fruits and veggies are the theme for this wedding. With the bitter cold we're having in the northeast - I wanted to work on a wedding that would take place during the warm summer months with lots of fresh produce being used to not only feed the guests, but used as elements in the decor too. I just love the idea of an elegant Farmer's Market for an outdoor summer wedding. For those who don't want to serve cake, fresh fruit pies would be absolutely delicious to finish off the meal with {maybe blueberry, raspberry, and/or peach? There are so many choices}. Fresh salads and of course corn on the cob might be just the perfect side dish to serve to your guests. I also love the idea of the menu being written out for guests on a chalkboard. This wedding can easily be green / eco-friendly if you choose to use the produce and florals from local farmers.
