Our Gilded Glamour Photo shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty and the colors are even prettier when I look at the blizzard outside the windows right now! The table ruffles were fun to sew, and they added such great texture to the tables. Judy of Flora Fauna came up with some unique and perfect blue glass containers for the flowers as well as an assortment of gold pretties that we combined with my truck load of props to adorn the cake, dessert table, it was a busy day of collaboration. It was like shopping through all of the boxes and crates we brought, filled to the brim with accessories, dishes, glasses and even my trusty crystal chandelier. The only sad part is packing up and cleaning up after you have played all day!
Corbin Gurkin's photos brought some pretty cheer to this gray day, the light in her photos cheers me.
I love to see my humble little props in a pretty photograph, that gold mirror above I found at a yard sale for $4! And the gold plates under the menus on the tables were a little set scored at an antiques shop for a song-gold plates, what a treat!
This design was full of feminine details, gilded accents and pops of spring time color, it was almost a year ago that we shot this... A big thank you to everyone who contributed their time and talents to this shoot!
This shoot was also featured in Maine Magazine's Wedding issue recently, it created a buzz with the pretty colors against the gray sky and the formal interior of the location.
Inspired by the texture and feeling of a Swiss dot wedding dress, this design started with a palette of robin’s egg blue, pale peach, raw muslin and gold. When collecting elements and props, old gold framed mirrors, cake stands and plates came together with yards and yards of pale blue and raw muslin, which we sewed into fluffy ruffles to adorn the tables. Against an heirloom estate backdrop, gold ballroom chairs, a crystal chandelier and crystal stemware added glamour and sophistication to the table scape. Luscious flower arrangements, containers and bouquets by Flora Fauna included the spring’s best picks of tulips, anemones, David Austin roses and delphinium, arranged in an eclectic mix of gold and pale blue glass containers. Custom letterpress stationery from Gus & Ruby Letterpress and calligraphed by Neither Snow, adorned with hand painted edges and tulle posies from Paper Posy Designs, along with a ruffled tiered cake from Nothing Bakes Like a Parrott completed the glamorous look.
