DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 10: NO FLOWERS

I love flowers so incredibly much. So it was a little bit gut-wrenching to design a wedding without using any flowers at all for day 10 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge. But, I'm always up for a challenge! 

And instead of going completely away from the look of flowers and using just candles or ribbons or enormous balloons or paper cranes - all of which are completely gorgeous with or without the addition of flowers, I decided to use herbs and veggies. 

I just love the fresh and organic feel of greenery at a wedding - and I'm loving the different shades of green herbs overflowing from a wooden centerpiece. Escort cards are pinned into different types of vegetables, brussel sprouts are combined into tree arrangements, an artichoke sits atop the groom's lapel, and herbs are set up at the ceremony for a festive herb petal toss. What a great celebration for a foodie couple! And the best part is that all of the decor can be saved and eaten afterwards - love that.
