Pretty Picnic Elopement is a perfect summertime way to say I do. This beautifully orchestrated shoot creates a vibrant atmosphere for your special occasion—Vancouver Island wedding inspiration at its finest!

Starting with the paper suite from Penned Creations, they used rough-edged paper with boldly colored crimson font to keep things wild yet simple. They added golden-winged butterflies to keep us enchanted with the summertime picnic theme. 

We can not go long before mentioning the exquisite floral displays by Brown’s the Florist.  Dark green hosta leaves and pampas grass act as the background for white dahlias, coral roses, and yellow Craspedia, which create an eruption of color and texture.  Floral elements were used throughout the gardens of the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, located just twenty minutes outside Victoria.  Florals were placed in the bride’s hair and even used as an embellishment to the groom’s lapel in place of a traditional boutonniere.  

The Bride’s dress, provided by Blush Bridal Boutique, sweeps down creating an elegant train.  With a vine-like embroidery design that adds texture to this refined organza dress.

Uniquely styled pieces of jewelry by Ebb and Flow adorned our bride.  In this shoot, we see a more modern style chosen for the earrings, but jewelry can be carefully selected to bring out the bride’s style.  

Cobble Hill Cake Co. created a simple frosted cake to showcase another example of the eye-catching floral array that we have loved throughout this shoot.

From putting pen to paper for the invitations to finding the perfect luscious garden location and everything in between, you can have fun and vibrance in the sun during your pretty picnic elopement for your West Coast wedding.
