Natasha & Christopher in Atlanta, GA
Natasha‘s vibrant bouqet contained hydrangea, lavender sweet pea, purple lisianthus, lavender roses, purple allium, scabiosa pods, fiddleheads, and hanging amaranthus.
Christopher‘s boutonniere was a cluster of fiddlehead ferns, scabiosa pods, and green amaranthus mixed with mint and lavender and wrapped in brown raffia and copper wire.
The ceremony programs were printed with a green leaf motif, along with brown and green lettering to coordinate with the colors of the day. The couple also included a paragraph on the broom jumping ceremony, as well as quotes that were meaningful to the couple.
Natasha and Christopher exchanged vows beneath a canopy of tall trees. Copper lanterns, decorated with ivory roses and ferns, created a warm ceremony space.
During the ceremony, the tree that stood behind the couple was decorated with copper pots filled with purple sweet pea, white larkspur, and green hanging amaranthus.
The reception tables were set with white linens and green silk toppers. At each place setting was a napkin folded into a pocket shape and accented with a fern leaf.
The centerpieces were designed to bring the great outdoors into the space. Some of the tables boasted miniature terrariums filled with moss, ferns, fiddleheads, and purple sweet pea.
Natasha and Christopher‘s four-tiered buttercream cake was frosted with an ivory twig and purple berry design. A tree trunk served as the cake stand, and curly willow and fresh lavender topped off the confection.
An environmentalist who loves anything organic and green, Natasha used purple (her favorite color) along with plenty of earthy green elements and copper accents.

What you need finds you when you stop searching for it. That saying was true for Natasha and Christopher, who were both coming out of long-term relationships and not looking to start new ones.
 
The Bride Natasha Brash, 33, environmental consultant and florist
The Groom Christopher Meyer, 34, operations manager
The Date August 31
 
The two happened to be at the Sweet Auburn Festival in Atlanta one Sunday when they saw each other from afar. They exchanged looks for hours, until Christopher finally gained the courage to approach Natasha. They talked, exchanged numbers, and met up for a walk in the park the following day. Exactly four years, four months, and four days after they had met, Natasha and Christopher were married.
