Styled Photo Shoot: Royal Picnic

When Melissa McCrotty asked me to design a styled session several months ago I was instantly excited! We've all seen the From Inspiration to Reality features on Style Me Pretty and this was my opportunity to create my very own. Our purpose with this session was to create something beautiful that will inspire you for your wedding day! We pulled together a dream team of vendors to help accomplish my vision and they came through flawlessly.

My vision was an over-the-top, opulent tablescape that evokes the feeling of a Royal Picnic. Think Marie Antoinette... I accomplished this look by using lush linens, antique furniture, and abundant floral designs mixed with beautiful table settings and printed materials. I couldn't resist throwing in a little modern twist and using ghost chairs - the vintage shape mixed with the modern material was the perfect choice! And the finishing touch was a fabulous crystal chandelier and gilded mirror hung from the tree to put it all over the top.

We are submitting the images to magazines and blogs. So, I can't show much, but I wanted to give you all a quick sneak peak of the gorgeousness because I just can't wait!
