Muir’s quotes about the world and the forest served as our inspiration for this bridal editorial, featuring custom details perfect for a couple planning a unique northwest elopement or larger wedding under a beautiful canopy of trees. More about the design and inspiration: Some of John Muir’s most famous passages have inspired adventurers and outdoor lovers for decades, including many modern couples planning their own unique wedding.

Smashing Petals created an absolutely perfect bouquet for our forest-loving bride, rich with textures and hues that stand out against the trees and moss in the forest, unique blooms that aren’t often used in bridal bouquets, paired perfectly with matching hand-died silk ribbons for a little extra pop of color.
