Blackberry Farm Inspiration {by} Marry You Me...

Hi Lovelies! I'm Annie of Marry You Me and I'm so grateful to be here guest posting on The Loveliest Day for my sweet friend Melissa. I was delighted when Melissa asked me to post - I've been taking some time off from blogging recently and this gave me such a great reason to get back into it! I'd been itching to do an inspiration board, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

We are in blackberry season here in Oregon, so I felt super inspired by a recent trip to a U-Pick berry farm to do a blackberry farm inspired board for a wedding. Berries not only provide great desserts for weddings, but also are amazing for color palette and floral inspiration. For a berry inspired wedding, these mason jar printables from Paper Crave via Cottage Industrialist are simply divine. I love the idea of using unripe raspberries as boutonnieres, in bouquets and centerpieces. Use fresh berries in signature drinks like blackberry gin fizz or berry lemonade, in cardboard berry baskets as favors, in desserts like mini chocolate blackberry cupcakes, berry pies or for decorating cakes. A rustic farm setting at sunset makes for a perfect venue for this berry fete.
