French Garden Party Wedding Ideas for the Cool Bride

French Garden Party Wedding Inspiration for The Cool Bride – Hamee Ha Photography 1

Anyone planning a garden party wedding in the French Countryside?! We want an invite! Especially if it’s as absolutely chic as this Olea & Fig cool-bride inspiration.

The centerpiece – a pastry & French provision-filled bounty spread across a country farm table – is reason enough to us to call this scene wedding-ready. Intended to inspire a chic country bridal shower, we think this whimsical afternoon is worthy enough for ‘I do’s’ thanks to sophisticated fashion & the trendiest accessories.

Our brides (or bridal shower pals) dressed in delicate & feminine Wild Bride gowns are sporting some of the coolest ‘in’ accessories for brides of today. Not only is the resin jewels (in chic neutral tones) so hip, but the statement straw hat & bold black ribbons take the dainty get-ups into 2019 cool.

Photographed by Hamee Ha Photography, this airy & beautiful French garden scene is a drool-worthy treat.

This was a bridal shower design and fashion editorial inspired by the French countryside with modern styling. Friendship, intimate moments and oneself were the key elements of the design. As most bridal inspiration focuses on the romance and sweetness between the couple on during engagement or on the wedding day, we wanted to portray the connection and support from friends, and the precious moments before the wedding day, a milestone in life.

We told the stories through two friends, one is shy and more conservative, while the other is outgoing and adventurous. This bridal shower took place in a seemingly ordinary afternoon and focused on capturing the meaningful moments that we sometimes miss.

The two outfits were designed based on the two characters. Both bridal gowns and bridal shoes were styled with a more fashion-forward approach. We integrated the farm fashion concept and the Dolled Up trend of SS’19 in hair, makeup and wardrobe design.

The deconstructed tablescape and floral design were inspired by a combination of farm-to-table style and a laid-back afternoon picnic. Natural and unintended was the key concept, therefore, paper design, food, pastry, tabletop and furniture were all selected to showcase the beauty of nature, the unpolished, and candidness.
