When planning your big day, try to think about the things that make you happiest. For example, if you are a nature-loving bride, often barefoot enjoying the outdoors... perhaps something a little less traditional would suit you best and feel the most authentic! Today's shoot by film photographer Whitney Heard is a wonderful resource for you woodsy brides looking for something a little different. Dominique Flowers is one of our approved vendors and you'll see why... take a look at the more rustic tones and textures they used for the florals! Oh, and we can't forget to mention the adorable rescued foxes ...

From Whitney: "This shoot provides inspiration for brides who love nature, and are looking to achieve a raw, whimsical feel. With olive greens, yellows, and hints of dusty orange, this lush desert shoot presents the perfect ideas for an intimate wedding. The rescued foxes, lace and pecan tarts bring a soft and innocent feel, while the martinis, wood and rock elements provide contrast. The simplicity and elegance of the natural makeup and glowing skin are given room to shine by the humble, earthy tones that surround them. By avoiding excessive ornamentation, and introducing organic details brides can let the natural beauty of their day shine through."
