The element of Earth conveys a mood that is peaceful, relaxed and organic. Earth-inspired events tend to encourage a more casual atmosphere than other types of celebrations, and are often simple and intimate. They are typically held in outdoor settings such as lakesides, beaches, fields, or botanical gardens, but can also encompass structures such as rustic farms or country inns, vineyards or the family home. Because these locations frequently offer much in the way of natural beauty (especially the outdoor settings) they require little other embellishment, which can result in great savings on flowers, fabric treatments, lighting and similar decor.
