I recently had the chance to put together a greenhouse wedding shoot with photographer, Lisa Warninger for Project Wedding. The story is inspired by last summer's visits to Rosendals Trädgård, a delightful garden with greenhouses and orchards, in Sweden.
A gorgeous English greenhouse filled with orange blossoms, lily of the valley, myrtle, hyacinth, and snowdrops was our backdrop. (garden props from Terrain + plants from Cornell Farms)
Delicious snap pea and fennel salad, and English cucumber sandwiches on rosemary, sea salt baguettes were served with basil-infused lemonade. (Food by Elizabeth Fuss)
The bride wore a cotton tea-length dress with a pinafore (By Elizabeth Dye) and the groom wore a Liberty style tie and straw boater hat (Tie from Fieldguided). Hand-drawn invitations set the scene (By Nisee Made).
Visit Project Wedding for the full article and more details.

Beautiful, amazing, and I loved that greenhouse when you showed in last year. Beautiful shots too!
Posted by: katy elliott | March 27, 2010 at 07:44 AM
So beautiful, with a real fresh spring feeling. I particularly love the tiny flowerpots (lily of the valley shot) so dainty and pretty. Styling is just gorgeous. Your work is so inspiring.
Posted by: Carla | March 27, 2010 at 03:37 PM
Chelsea this is divine!
I am so with you on Rosendal - it is one of my favourite places in Stockholm and I love having coffee in their greenhouse cafe, or lounging in the beautiful apple orchard.
The shoot and styling is perfect - so fresh and fit for Spring. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Did you shop at the Rosendals Trädgård grocer? They do the best things there - I especially love their herbs and spices!
