Seattle Greenhouse Wedding Editorial with Sustainable Florals by Twisted Bramble
Melanie (she/her) and Lyndsay (she/they) brought softness, strength, and personal style to this fall greenhouse editorial in Seattle. With sustainable florals, vintage-inspired details, and their dog by their side, the shoot felt cozy, layered, and deeply intentional. Florist Meghan Campbell of Twisted Bramble led the vision, blending sustainability with queer expression, while Kaylin Pinkett captured it, all with warmth and care. This editorial celebrated abundance without excess, grounded in texture, love, and unapologetic queer representation.
What inspired the concept behind this shoot?
I wanted to do something new within a season I already love. Fall is full of color and texture, but instead of the typical orange and rust tones, I focused on plum, lavender, honey, and cider. Purple isn’t usually a favorite of mine, so this was my personal challenge to embrace it and make it feel luxurious.
It became about leaning into what’s already present in the season using only local and seasonal flowers, foraged dried elements, fruit, and even a dried wasp nest I had in the studio. The whole concept centered around abundance and elegance, but in a way that stayed true to sustainable values.
What made this greenhouse location so perfect?
The natural light in the greenhouse gave everything a soft, glowing feel. It allowed the colors to really pop without being harsh, and the glass structure kept the atmosphere intimate but still open. Seattle in the fall is already so cozy, and this space amplified that without needing to over-style it.
The florals feel totally different than your typical fall wedding. How did you approach them?
I used only local flowers (some fresh, some dried) and styled them with seasonal fruit and honey to add richness without fuss. The wasp nest was kind of my wildcard. It had been sitting in my studio forever, and this felt like the right moment to use it as a sculptural anchor.
What were some of your favorite styling moments?
We focused on mixing custom and secondhand elements, things that felt personal but not overly polished. Lyndsay wore a cream suit that felt strong and soft all at once, while Melanie wore a high-end secondhand lace dress that gave movement and elegance. The jewelry was intentionally gender neutral, featuring pieces from Wend Jewelry, and the wedding looks came from the incredible team at Astraea Bridal, who specialize in inclusive and sustainable wedding fashion.
We added handmade vow books, layered vintage-style table settings, and had a dog coordinator on set to make sure their pup got to shine, too. Every detail was about layering meaning and beauty without excess.
Who else helped bring your vision to life?
This was one of the rare times I got to choose every single vendor and create a dream team from scratch. Some folks I’d worked with before, some I admired from afar, and some I was just excited to finally collaborate with in person.
I co-designed the shoot with Kaylin Pinkett, who shot the whole thing beautifully. Her photography brought the warmth, intimacy, and softness we were going for. It wouldn’t have come together the same way without her.
What do you hope couples take away from this shoot?
That sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrifice. That queer weddings can be elegant and lush and expressive. That you don’t have to follow a formula to create something beautiful. Style can be personal, playful, emotional, and still feel editorial.
And of course, bring your dog.
