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.

I have seen so many amazing makeup related things that I had to do a post about all of them. First the packaging from Topshop is blowing my mind, seriously it is so simple and so beautiful and of course black and white, my true love. Second is the amazing Kandee Johnson I just discovered her tutorials on Glamour where she does covers from the past and shows us how to do the look. She does Madonna, Kim Kardashian and some model from the 60’s. It’s such a girly fun thing and I am totally inspired to actually start doing my makeup! hahaha. Last, my friend Jade Baird from Kissable Complexions is coming up with some awesome before and afters. Those just get me. I love to see people transform magically from makeup. I’m getting older and makeup is going to be my saving grace! Love it all. This song is perrrrfect with this glamorous post. Eat it up sistas!
