I have been planning for months and now we can finally release the styled shoot! My friend over at Amanda Hendrickson Photography and I wanted to do a wedding collab that was different than the light soft weddings you see everywhere now. Even though those are beautiful, we went for something a little more Royal.

By gathering inspiration from several unexpected elements, creating a timeless wedding in a modern world included details, such as, unique hints of marble, bold colors, and the classic feel of the location. Inspired by the 1930’s Waterfront Manor Mansion, the florist’s arrangements brought a unique elegance shown through deep purples and bold fuschia.

Gem accessories, detailed stationary, and stunning invitations including textured gold foil, brought a sense of the modern world to the classic era created.

Having a location with so much organic beauty was easy to get inspired by, and finding secret nooks to put the bride and groom made for catching the perfect moments. It was like a midsummer nights dream.

When designing for this winter styled shoot, and I wanted to do something that was a challenge for me. I am working on my painting skills and I have never really painted florals so I thought it would be a fun time to practice. I also wanted to do a grungy calligraphy style to offset the soft florals. I chose a dusty blue for the color because of the season and thought it gave it a bit more of a winter feel. I loved the color palette of this shoot and am obsessed with the way it turned out. Photos Evelyn Eslava // Flowers Soil & Stem // Bridal gowns Bree Lena // Veil Danani // Cake Flour & Flourish // Stationery West End Girl // Hair and makeup artist Victoria Plant // RibbonSilk & Willow // Model Kaylee Young
