Here is a styled shoot that put little emoticon hearts in my eyes and filled me to the brim with inspiration and awe. The lighting, the gown, every beautifully put together detail from LB Floral and Silk & Willow, and of course the film captures from JoPhoto remind me of why I love to blog about weddings so much. So scroll on down, my friends, and swoon with me over the timeless beauty of this southern shoot.

There’s a definite trend in lavender weddings these days and I completely understand why. Lavender has a raw and organic essence and when used right, it is a perfect touch for weddings. Jenna McElroy photographs this lavender shoot styled by Claire Brody just beautifully and I am ready to pin all the gorgeous details - especially the tablescape and the Sarah Seven gown.

Happy July, my friends! I cannot believe June has already come and gone and summer is here! Today I am sharing a very unique and beautiful styled shoot from Olga Siyanko and Ludmila Fateeva. This shoot was a pre-wedding affair for the couple and the photographer as a way to get inspiration and rehearse for the big day.

Today I have a very chic and artistic styled shoot to share with you. We are headed into some lovely gardens in Ontario, Canada and stepping into an artist’s dream of beautiful landscapes and fresh florals. And anyone who loves vintage details will love the unique and colorful china used for the place settings. Do read the stylist’s description of the shoot, as it truly is a noteworthy concept.
From the designer, Phoebe Lo Events…Brushed behind the rolling pastures and concealed by cast iron gates lies a secret little garden known as Pathways to Perennials. The luscious estate was carefully crafted by a pair of gardeners that dedicated the landscapes to their newborn child. Developed over the course of a decade, the gardeners envisioned that Pathways to Perennials would be the grounds to which their daughter and her loved one would lovingly cast the oath of marriage upon each other. The meandering pathways signify the course of a lifetime’s journey, and one would find the hidden treasures among this delicate route, whether it be a bunch of French garden roses or a gazebo with welcoming breezes and a seat for two.
This styled wedding photoshoot plays with a classic European motif that is subtly captured through the accents of landscape painting and watercolours. The concept of romance is drawn upon the unity of these key elements and positioned upon the lush backdrop that embodies the perfect solution of vintage and elegance. The colour palette of this photo shoot features the sweet hues of mint green that is juxtaposed by pale peach, and lightly tinted by plush gold details. The bride dons a floor length Alfred Sung gown crafted with French lace and crystal beading. The sweetheart table setting showcases an arrangement of century old Queen Anne porcelain dinnerware paired with Cellini Romanesque golden cutlery.

I recently featured one of my all-time favorite set of images of a styled shoot in the Great Sand Dunes by Katie Grant, so naturally, I’m excited to share another one of her amazing shoots. I love the ocean and some of my favorite wedding inspiration comes from organic shoots inspired by the natural elements of water. This one includes a fantastic shelled crown and a quaint and very pin-worthy sweetheart table.
From the photographer…We drew inspiration from the natural, rocky coastline and built the shoot around the natural palette of the shore. The sweetheart table is nestled into the large rock formations where waves crash underneath, creating a beautiful symphony. The table is adorned with light sea blues and sandy golds and the plates are set with each person’s name calligraphed on a translucent capiz shell. The focal point of this shoot is the bride’s jaw-dropping and gorgeous seashell crown, a fresh and inspiring take on the bohemian floral crown.
