This shoot truly has every bit of inspiration for anyone looking for a wedding that is glamorous to earthy, beach to inland.
The carefully curated menu by Festina Lente was a huge part of the inspo story for this shoot. From the presentation to the plate, modern elements were integrated into culinary decisions with a respect to the traditions of the Mediterranean.
Contemporary design within the décor was such a natural choice, with plenty of neutrals, dry and fresh florals and varying items of black-clad décor creating a striking contrast with the neutrals.
For the furniture décor, wood tones and transparent paired seamlessly with the monochromatic color palette that mimicked some of the weathered driftwood that could be found around the area.
It also complimented the interior of the beautiful Festina Lente and allowed each of the décor pieces to pop against the more natural tones.
