I’ve got a super fun styled shoot for you all today - perfect for a mid-week boost if you need one. Design powerhouse Kate Spade is known for her vibrant color palettes and motto, “live colorfully” - her designs are refreshing, flirty, and playful. This styled shoot from Sara Hasstedt is the ultimate Kate Spade wedding inspiration.
From the photographer…For this shoot, we wanted to portray a really playful and vivacious bride who was still very feminine and elegant.
I love Kate Spade‘s motto “Live Colorfully” so we played up that aspect with the florals and the bold lip color, as well as choosing a gorgeous Sarah Seven dress in gold instead of traditional white. We incorporated some non-traditional wedding elements such as a pink frosted sprinkle donut (because what is better and more playful than that?), a Kate Spade bow ring in place of a more traditional engagement ring and a pair of Kari sunglasses by Coach.
We didn’t do a full tablescape and couple’s shoot because we wanted the focus to be more on the whimsical nature of our bride and her relaxed elegance. Our driving words were feminine, feisty and whimsical. Our model is a good friend of mine, Khelsy, from college (we studied musical theatre together!) and I knew her playful personality would be a perfect fit for the bride we were wanting to portray.
I love the fun and unique touches in this shoot: the golden gown, the bow ring, bright red lips and the colorful florals. Together, they make for some serious Kate Spade wedding inspiration. Thanks to Sara for the images and to the rest of the team who worked on this shoot. If you like Sara’s work, you can also see one of her real weddings on the blog here.
