Summer Splendor with Lush Florals: Diving into the richness of summer with an array of lush blooms such as cosmos, scabiosa, delphinium, lisianthus and ranunculus (to name a few), the florals for this wedding highlighted the artisanal local flowers available in the Northwest Arkansas area. These bountiful flowers were woven into a stunning ceremony floral nest, bride's bouquet and bud vases, infusing the wedding with the warmth and vibrancy of the season.

The Tulip Tree Structure and Floral Ceremony Nest: With over 120 acres on the ground of this gorgeous museum, there are an array of natural and artful options that are an ideal backdrop for a modern ceremony.

Collaboration with Local Farmers: At Earth & Thorn our goal is to partner with local farms as much as possible for our blooms. It is a great way to boost our sustainability practices. Most of all, we love local blooms because there is texture and natural variations that add such warmth and depth. For this wedding's reception, every single bloom was grown in the area.
