Living Wedding Decor

My amazing wedding planner Laura Mullen, of Laura Mullen Event Design pinned this image on her Pinterest recently and I just had to hunt down a few similar structures that this would work with and brainstorm on how something so lovely could fit into a wedding.

I think that this (potentially edible) decor could be amazing for flanking the sides of a ceremony area.  A couple could purchase or make the structures and put them on either side of the ceremony space.  Scooping up an old book or hardware store display unit on Craigslist might work well.  Keywords to use while searching could include: bookstore, "book store", book display, store display, hardware store, mercantile...and other suggestions?

I'm thinking it could be a mini and moveable version of this fantastic living wall installation at the Smog Shoppe in Culver City, CA:

I've seen this wall in various blog postings about weddings at the Smog Shoppe and never realized until just now that they might just have happened to use the same Woolly Pockets detailed in the last issue of ReadyMade magazine.  The article in the last issue of ReadyMade is about how to construct a taller, privacy fence on top of an existing fence but it hits on how great they are.  And Oh Joy! has this lovely compilation  of Woolly Pockets images just ready for the reposting here.  I'm going to do some brainstorming on ways to use Wooly Pockets in weddings for a future post.
