Styled Shoot: Pretty Paper

Hey everyone!

Today I have one of my favorite details from our inspirational photo shoot to share with you! Using metallic tones {gold, bronze, & silver} as our inspiration, we chose to continue that into the paper products. To do this, Shindig Paperie provided custom calligraphy menus and place cards that were hand written in gorgeous raised gold ink.

Place cards {calligraphy by Anchor Port Calligraphy} were set on individual gold doilies to add another layer to the tablescape and to continue the metallic design further.

This stunning, gold foil letterpress invitation from Shindig Paperie {by Bella Figura} was the perfect compliment to our table design!

And because I couldn't choose just one, this fabulous silver and gold foil letterpress invitation from Shindig Paperie {by Bella Figura} would also go perfectly with this chic, fall wedding design...

Thank you to Shindig Paperie for always providing such amazing and inspiring paper products for our events! And thank you to Benfield Photography for the beautiful images.

Come back tomorrow for just a few more amazing photos from our inspirational photo shoot!

Styled Shoot: Floral Design

Hello everyone!

I'm back today with more gorgeousness from the photo shoot we designed last week! Today, I'm focusing on the gorgeous floral designs by Pigmint. Around a month ago, I met with Jonathan & Chelsea {owners at Pigmint} and told them my ideas for this shoot. I knew that I wanted to incorporate brass candlesticks for height and to work gilded antlers into a runner style centerpiece. But instead of your typical, perfect runner centerpiece, I wanted the floral designs for this table to be more organic and to flow with the shape of the antlers. Boy did they deliver! Pigmint understood my vision perfectly and created a stunning centerpiece on site that day. The photos really do speak for themselves...

They also created stunning personal flowers for our models...

Artfully designed bridal bouquet of orchids, roses, and peonies, accented with lovely ribbons in different textures.

Classic gardenia boutonniere.

Bridesmaid bouquets made of peonies and roses.

So what do you think of our designs? I'm slightly crazy about the results of this amazing collaboration! Thank you Pigmint for translating our ideas into reality with your perfect artistic touch. And thank you to Benfield Photography for capturing everything so beautifully. Don't forget to check out their blog today for more gorgeous photos of the floral designs from our shoot.

And remember, Pigmint is a full service florist! They're open on weekdays from 10-6 and on Saturdays from 10-4. Stop in soon or give them a call to order arrangements to brighten up your home or the homes of your loved ones!

Come back tomorrow for the oh so sweet details on the cakes from Shelby Lynn's!
