Wes Anderson with a Nerdy Twist | Grace + Andrew | Austin, Texas| EPOCH CO+

If you’re a fan of Wes Anderson films, then you’ll know that they are filled with delicate pastel colors, symmetrical framing, and an eclectic cast of characters. What you might not think of is a wedding. But that’s exactly what one couple did when they decided to add a personal, nerdy, flair to their wedding by adding Wes Anderson-inspired details. Mattie’s at Green Pastures in Austin, Texas was the perfect place to celebrate Grace + Andrew’s fandom, and of course, their marriage. If you’re planning a wedding and are looking for some inspiration, then why not take a page out of Grace + Andrew’s playbook and have a Wes Anderson-inspired wedding?

Ceremony

Grace and Andrew's wedding ceremony was a Wes Anderson-inspired dream come true. Set among tall trees with dappled sunlight spilling through, the outdoor setting was perfect for this whimsical couple. As guests arrived, they found themselves transported into a Wes Anderson world filled with quirky details and pastel colors. They were struck by the unique rug-lined aisle that snaked its way through the natural surrounding. The vibrant colors and patterns of the rugs embodied the couple's eclectic energy, and it made for a truly stunning entrance. This choice in decor was echoed in the bright guest outfits that popped against the natural green and brown background. Simple chairs, that didn't detract from the magic of the surrounding nature, were arranged for an intimate gathering. The ceremony was a simple yet meaningful exchange of vows under a natural archway created from branches of the surrounding trees.

The Importance of Florals

The florals, by The Bloom Bar, were also bursting with color, featuring every shade of pink, yellow, and orange, only to be made more beautiful in the hands of a darling flower girl and the bride herself. Wedding florals are an essential element of any ceremony as they add beauty, elegance, and personality to the overall aesthetic. The flowers for this ceremony perfectly reflected the quirky Wes Anderson theme, as well as the personality of Grace + Andrew; bright and bold. The Bloom Bar hit a home run with these arrangements and created a style that fit the bride and groom amazingly. When it comes to outdoor ceremonies, bright-colored flowers are a great choice. Bright colors are vibrant and eye-catching, making them perfect for a setting where there is plenty of natural light.

Not a Phone in Sight

Phone-free wedding ceremonies have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. By asking guests to refrain from using their phones during the ceremony, Grace + Andrew were able to create a more intimate and present experience for everyone involved. Without the distraction of screens and notifications, guests were able to fully engage with the ceremony and be fully present in the moment, which led to a more meaningful and emotional experience for all. Additionally, a phone-free wedding ensured that guests were focused on the couple and the ceremony, rather than on taking photos or posting on social media. This allowed Grace + Andrew to have more control over the narrative and presentation of their special day, and also lead to better-quality photos that were captured by Feather and Twine Photography. The smiles on everyone’s faces speak to the beauty behind a phone-free ceremony.
