This post is long overdue. Sit back and let's take a look back at an outdoor wedding inspiration shoot we did at Casa Lantana that was featured on Ruffled Blog.

Flowers can elevate the look of a fountain and transform it into a beautiful welcome point for guests. With little effort, these kinds of details create a lovely atmosphere.

I love how the food station was styled with drapey leaves, greens and flowers to blend in with the setting.

Chunks of bark were used to denote the food items; such a brilliant way to take cues from the organic backdrop!

Guests are definitely going to do a double take when they see a wedding cake suspended from a tree!

This floral swing not only adds a touch of whimsy and romance, but it makes for a beautiful setting for portraits. The idea here is to plan for opportunities to create a lovely photo moment and take advantage of your venue's best features instead of just hoping to stumble onto something nice on your wedding day.

When you view the outdoor surroundings as a room to live in, you can create reception lounge that's fun and unique.
