{Blog Love} Bohemian Shoot On Every Last Detail

Shelby — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:45:19 +0000

Earlier this spring Mari Darr Welch called and asked if I wanted to be a part of an inspiration shoot she was doing. Lauren Grove, editor of the Every Last Detail Blog, was looking for local talent to put together a stylized shoot for the launch of her new blog. Let me just say that I think ELD is an excellent resource for brides to go and be inspired. Laurens “Inspiration Gallery” is a wonderful tool, so of course I said yes and from there we hit the ground running. We brought in the uber talented Brian Watson, owner of Myrtie Blue, to take care of all our floral and decor goodies. We also worked with the fabulous Renee Armour from Chez Renee who brought in some yummy vintage rental props and pieces. Together we decided on “Bohemian Beach” as our theme and found a little nook at Alys Beach as our backdrop. Once we found dresses we asked the gorgeous Christina Gillon, owner of Fete Events, to be our model. I really enjoyed working on this project and love the end result. We hope you do too! Here is a link to the full blogpost.

Thank you to all the vendors involved:

Floral & Decor: Myrtie Blue

Behind the Scenes of a Vue Shoot!

Shelby — Tue, 31 May 2011 23:13:18 +0000

Last summer I got the chance to work with the lovely ladies of Vue Photography, Genya and Wesleyann. They were entering the Southern Weddings Cover contest and asked me to help style and assist the day of the shoot. The ladies already had a plan that included a tree swing, a pecan orchard, and bushels of juicy peaches. Little did I know they had also arranged for the fabulous Diva Productions to film a behind the scenes look of the shoot. Styling shoots has has become a second passion for me next to planning weddings, and boy did I have fun with this one. Take a peek for yourself and see why.

Margery & Dan

Shelby — Fri, 27 May 2011 14:09:10 +0000

Last year we received an inquiry from a bride in Australia planning a wedding in her hometown of Fort Walton Beach. Come to find out we went to high school together, so I was delighted to help her with her wedding plans. Margery was absolutely stunning in her Vera Wang gown and Dan made for a handsome groom in his traditional tails. The couple had a traditional church ceremony followed by an intimate reception photographed by the super sweet and oh-so-talented duo of Meg Baisden Photography. Take a peek for yourself and let us know what you think!
