Summer is the perfect time to depart from some of the more standard, pastel-driven color stories that weddings can sometimes fall into easily. We totally get it; it can be a little intimidating to imagine incorporating deeper, brighter tones into your day, but doing so through your florals is the perfect way to achieve that fun punch of color, without losing the feel of elegance + romance.

Dreamt up by photographer, Whitney, of Tulle & Grace, today's shoot was a dreamy collab with Forage + Fleur and actually took place last winter when the ladies were desperate for some pretty summer hues! While spending a month in Charleston, South Carolina, they found the most magical tree at Middleton Place Plantation and their dream became a reality...

It doesn't take much to get us on board with an all poppy bouquet!

We can see why the ladies fell for this tree! So dreamy, right?

So, what do you think? Are you inspired to incorporate a little summer color into your celebration? Or at least into your floral design? Tell us in the comments below!

Thanks so much to the team for sharing!
