Summer Inspiration: Vintage Cactus
A creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on.

The summer is in full swing, and even perhaps on the downhill slope toward fall. The longest day of the year has past us and people are starting to wilt like cut flowers at the end of the long dry days. My grass crackles under my feet as its parched blades weep into the dry dust. Every day I get hopeful that a pop up storm will give us some relief but they all continue to miss us.
This hot dry weather makes me think of dry deserts, prickly cactus and the colors of a canyon. What fabulous inspiration for a wedding. Cactus and Succulents have seen a trending increase over the past few years (showing up strong in 2017) and are not showing signs of departing anytime soon so items are readily available to help you create the perfect mood. You can bring in this theme just a little or a whole heckuva lot! Pair it with modern, traditional, rustic or vintage. We chose to bring in a vintage vibe in this BOHO Glam Cactus styled Session! I hope this encourages you to find your own style and explore possibilities for your big day! Check out this amazing list of vendors who came together for this!
