Sigrid and Sepp’s Native American-inspired wedding was held in the historic Dade Battlefield Park. This State Park also has a significant history for the Seminole tribe in Florida.  The large park with walking trails hosts also Indian Pow Wow’s and historic plays. Our favorite spot there for weddings is the Ancient Oak Tree.

Their Native American inspired wedding decoration

They both wanted to keep it simple because they celebrated their elopement without any guests. The huge ancient Oaktree already offers a breathtaking background and we just wanted to accent the area with a Boho and Native American-inspired wedding vibe. The ceremony area we decorated with a huge white dreamcatcher that was attached to one of the tree branches, in front we placed some wood crates, galvanized containers with flowers, and some wooden lanterns. A Southwestern Style cotton carpet designated the area where they were standing. The ancient Oak Tree is so beautiful and massive that it was important to integrate the decoration rather than overloading it.

Sigrid’s bridal bouquet

Sigrid wanted a very simple white and green bouquet and kept it to me to select the flowers. I decided to choose Spider Mums because of their meaning. If a bride carries it in any color it means liveliness but if they are white they represent purity and truth. We accented the bouquet with some Gysophelia and a few mixed greens. Sigrid actually told me the bouquet traveled with her the whole two weeks vacation on the back of a Harley Motorcycle.

The Ceremony

We scheduled the ceremony at 1:00 PM since their wedding was in February and in a Nature Park. We started traditionally with a sage smudging and cleaning of the ceremony site and participants. They both walked around the tree and decorations while we listening to the sound of a Native American flute song.  Their ceremony text was also Native American-inspired wedding wording with a prayer for mother nature. Sepp actually belongs to a community tribe in Austria and they practice some of the rituals and gatherings.  Hence they wanted to celebrate a Native American-inspired wedding ceremony.

The Couples Intimate Photo Session

After the ceremony, we went walking in the park for some more photos and shared lunch at a local Mexican restaurant.
