The Inspiration

Nature Inspired Boho Shoot "Field of Gold" is the heart and soul of this clean, uncluttered natural styled shoot. This Field of Gold grows naturally near a sweet covered bridge. It is pure nature, unaltered by human planting. This location provided the perfect setting for a truly Natural surrounding for a nature-based Boho styled shoot of this sort. I styled it circa 1969, highlighting the beginnings of the Hippie & Flower Child era when life was bright, full of music & hope, relaxed, organic, and back to nature.

The Dress

The simple, sweet gown, The Mia (as in Mia Farrow)*, complements the natural beauty of the organic event. Guitar, ukulele, flute - yes! A sing-along ensued! What a simple DIY-able way to create an organic outdoor wedding or elopement!
*I love to style shoots specifically around my gowns, it really pulls everything together in an amazing way!

The Decor

Using the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape as the backdrop, Mandy Ogaz of The Potted Pansy included natural elements such as lemons, limes, green apples, yellow & green peppers in all the florals, including in the cascading floral crown braided into the models real hair (no hair extensions here!) Citronella candles, wooden handled utensils, cotton mats, handmade natural fiber paper invitations, place cards, etc are one-of-a-kind. Strikingly beautiful sugar flowers adorn the simple cake.
