Karen had a gorgeous hot pink silk slip dress she had found at a thrift store which led to the whole aesthetic of this greenhouse elopement inspiration. The setting was light and airy with a backdrop of beautiful flokati, faux sheepskin, and taper candles.

Be inspired by the color palette, awesome fashion choices, and of course, THAT BOUQUET!

Stars meets nature: a subtly geeky lakeside wedding with DIY for days

We combined our love for nature and the stars into a theme that came very easily for us. It helped that we found a venue that was the perfect setting to view the beauty of nature, as well as get a great view of the stars at night. To further our theme, I wanted to add a bit of a fantasy element so I decided to add subtle details that drew from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, both of which we're big fans.
