Monet Water Lily Wedding Inspiration

blog, In The Studio

For those of you who are familiar with the work of Claude Monet, upon recalling some of his famous paintings, images of a natural setting with reflective bodies of water baring lily pads likely come to mind.

Inspired by Claude’s artistic style, trademarked by a seemingly blurry combination of oil pastels, and a love for nature, Ashley La Fleur of La Belle Fleur Events spearheaded a collaborative effort in creating our own work of art that mimicked Claude’s love for nature and all of its beauty.

In our own interpretation, we created a romantic scene where we brought to life, a soft, pastel color palette reminiscent of Monet’s work. From the flatware to the overhanging floral focal and everything in between, the space was filled with a feeling of translucent airiness.

One of our favorite elements from the shoot was the suspended “chandelier” which we constructed out of varying shades of blue delphinium and lime-green amaranthus, all hanging from a manzanita branch to create a perfectly whimsical & dreamy enclosure.

We also created some beautiful bouquets that captured both the color palette as well as the mood of a Parisian pond in the summer time. With a collection of Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, Ginger, Amaranthus, Astilbe, Roses, Stock, and Leucadendrom, the bouquets had a soft, loose nature about them as if they had been painted by Claude himself.

The table was completed with gorgeous pastel place settings by Vintage Place Settings along with a beautiful hand dyed aqua runner by Bramble Workshop.

Thanks to all the super talented vendors who came together to make this inspirational shoot so stunning and to Katie Kett for capturing all of the beauty seen below.
