The Wonder of Woodland Weddings
Nora and Cameron recently took part in the woodland wedding trend, and they had the most magical day, as you can see from their photos! They met on the Hinge dating app and decided to have a destination elopement with just their families present.
A woodland wedding is a very popular choice for couples who want to have a unique ceremony with deep meaning. It’s been both romanticized in media and hailed as environmentally friendly by many couples. There are so many options in the San Francisco area for a #mountainwedding.
You can take this theme to extremes with a barefoot ceremony and a candlelight path in the forest, or you can keep it simple and just let the beauty of the woods surround you and your partner. You can drive less than an hour from San Francisco to have a fully immersive forest experience. This particular area, Muir Beach, also has parking and a bathroom facility that’s easy for parents and grandparents to navigate so they can be included on the big day.
Wedding color trends for 2022 will be the perfect match for the woodland wedding experience. Instead of the pastel hues, blush tones, and baby blues that have been on-trend in recent years, 2022 will take a sharp turn toward vibrant pink-purples, earthy olive greens, soft buttery yellows, tropical oranges, and ocean blues. Trend forecasters also predict that 2022 wedding floral trends will include dried florals, greenery, earthy tones, and vintage metallics (goodbye glam gold, hello antique brass and rich patina mirrored finishes).
Nora chose soft white peonies and earthy green eucalyptus for her bridal bouquet. Her flowers were very trendy with the white and green motif this year, and they blended in and fit in perfectly with the woodland wedding theme they were going for. It looked as if she could have picked them herself right in the woods!
We held the ceremony at Muir Beach Overlook with our own officiant. Nora’s dress is “Willowby by Watters Hearst Gown” from BHLDN.com, and it pulled off the fairy/nymph look with perfection. Just look at the leafy lace detail on her dress, and you will see how it is the ideal dress selection for a woodland wedding! BHLDN.com and Lulus.com are both excellent choices for finding an affordable, yet stunning wedding dress.
Woodland weddings are a charming way to plan an elopement. It is a celebration of love in the forest, where you can have your friends and family around to witness the union of two people who have found each other. With all these options available, I'm sure that not only will woodland weddings continue to become even more popular, but also they'll never lose their charm as more couples find themselves drawn to this type of ceremony. The ambiance created by this type of setting is one that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Taking your vows under a tree canopy will surely create memories for you and your guests that you'll never forget.
