Firehouse Wedding Inspiration


Today I have a special treat to share with you in the form of a budget-friendly inspiration shoot! A talented team of vendors led by Kelly Connolly put together some inspiration for an intimate bridal brunch, including a gorgeous table and dessert display! This design really shows that you can create a lush and luxurious look with minimal flowers for an affordable price. I hope you enjoy this lovely wedding inspiration!
From the vendor team:
“For this styled shoot I imagined an intimate bridal brunch with lots of fresh, natural elements including the loose foliage table runner with the coffee and lemon leaves, and roses tucked in with nectarines and limes. Emily Rose Ink’s menu design reflected the floral elements and we kept the based on the dessert table fresh white with BBJ’s lovely textured linen, Nimble Well white milk glass cake stands and oak serving boards for Altissima’s lovely desserts that included fresh fruit and flowers. I love the way she incorporated the foliage and flowers from the seated table into the decoration of the cakes. I used glass bottles for a few stems of roses and dahlias for an easy, elegant way to incorporate the flowers, and one wider vase for a focal arrangement of dahlias, roses, and foliage on the dessert table.” –Kelly Connolly
