Acacia chose a very Northwest theme for her wedding (which was also quite a "green" option): she wanted to use mainly ferns, mossy elements, pods, with just very little flowers in ivory creams. For the ceremony we created tall mounds of ferns in large black urns, and the tables were decorated with designs of ferns with only a few floral elements.
For her bouquet we incorporated of course also many different kinds of ferns (dagger, ming, maidenhair, etc), fiddlehead fern curls, poppy and scabiosa pods, cabbage roses, amaranthus, peonies, and scabiosa blooms. I was a little nervous at first about how a bouquet consisting of so little flowers and so many green elements would look. Acacia requested to use ~70% greens and only 30% flowers. But wow, I think the bouquet turned out fabulous!
Great photography below from Daniel Usenko - I love the close-ups of Acacia's bouquet ...
