Inspiration can strike us no matter where we are. We can be walking down the street and see a tree and suddenly be struck with the idea to knit a moss colored blanket because you loved the way the pine needles hung from the branches. Okay, so maybe that’s a little out-there, but for this couple, inspiration struck them in the form of a classic book-turned movie.

The Wizard of Oz happens to be this couple’s inspiration for their reception, and the color scheme is emerald green (the emerald city), gold (the yellow brick road), and red (Dorothy’s ruby slippers). They used fun elements from this classic to bring their wedding to life, like rubber-stamped artwork, ruby slippers, and their own real-life Toto.

These pieces of art hung on the reception site walls to add to the theme of the evening.

Wildflower centerpieces adorn the tables that whimsically remind guests of the Land of Oz.

The cake is gold with poppies on it to remind guests of the yellow brick road, lined with poppies.

The cupcakes are adorned with hot air balloons, because of course, that’s the wizard’s preferred method of transportation! Her dress just reminds me of Glinda the Good Witch, and her shoes, who wouldn’t be jealous of those?! The Tin Man, he would for sure!

Even if a Wizard of Oz theme might not be right for you, we’d still love to help you find your inspiration, whatever that may be. Give us a call or email us with your questions and we would love to talk with you more about what inspires you.
