Bringing Coastal Colors to an Ozarks Wedding

Couples come from all over to get married at Integrity Hills. For many, Table Rock Lake is a place they grew up vacationing, and for others it's discovering the beautiful Ozarks for the first time and choosing to have a destination wedding.   This year we have a few weddings with coastal couples -- the brides and grooms live in California and Florida.  They're excited to show their friends and family what The Ozarks is all about, but they also want their home states represented in their wedding.  Here are a few ideas we think would blend the coasts with The Ozarks, creating a coastal-rustic wedding. 

Coastal Colors
When you think Florida you think blue ocean, blue sky and white beaches, while California is more often represented by bright colors like orange, yellow and pink. These colors find their way into coastal weddings more often than not, and it's a great way to bring a bit of those home states to an Ozarks wedding.


Blue Ocean Florida:
Blues can be a variety from Tiffany to Teal.
Mix various shades with bright whites or a dusty sand color for a Florida feel.



Bright, Sunny California
The California state flower is the California Poppy, this sweet petite delicate orange flower.
It may be the perfect inspiration for adding a little west coast to a lake side wedding.
Bright, sunny flowers and lots of them make me think of California.
Combine orange and yellow with cream and green for a fun, yet elegant affair.
Orange Orchid Bouquet
Add a little pink.

I love this sign.  Nothings wrong with stating the obvious (San Diego - 1,678 Miles) in a cute way.  If the bride and groom are from different places try something like "His Hometown, Her Hometown, Our Home" with names and distance.

Favors
Bring a little something from your home state to give to your guests.
