Mint + gold is forever one of our fave color combos. The mix feels like it was practically invented to be one of the sweetest-ever wedding palettes. Olivia + Greg thought mint would be a perfect color component to match the abundance of succulents they knew they wanted to incorporate into their day. Says Olivia, I LOVE succulents, so of course we had succulents EVERYWHERE! But their styling plans didn't just stop there. We also wanted to add a pop of glam to spice things up - that's where the gold came in! We just love it when a color palette can hatch all of the other choices and design elements for your day. For couples who may find themselves all over the map stylistically - inspired by a bunch of different ideas - picking colors just may be the perfect place for you to start your wedding planning journey!

Olivia tells us, Our inspiration was ourselves. We wanted our wedding to be completely about us, what we love and what we believe. We really wanted to add a little bit of everything about us, to our day. We are very outdoorsy folks, so we knew that getting married inside, was not an option for us. We wanted an outside wedding - rain or shine! And it rained :) - with that sweet barn reception!

Such a sweet first look by the venue's pond!

We adore both Olivia + Greg's wedding day attire! Shop their looks - and whole pretty day - in our Rustic Mint + Gold shopping guide below!

Such great bouquets by Belovely Florals and Event Design!

What a sweet father-daughter moment! A little fun never hurt, right?!

Pennsylvania's The Rodale Institute proved to be the perfect spot to celebrate. A sprawling, pretty patch of land complete with a great, old barn just begging to be dressed up in - you guessed it - mint + gold!

We are head over heels for Olivia + Greg's thoughtfully detailed sweetheart table set up - and love that their yarn backdrop was inspired by one of our fave (and most crafty) GWS features!
