Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 2

 This wedding was inspired by an old southern mansion. The bride & her mother wanted it to feel as if the guests were invited to their home & were wined & dined with the best food, best entertainment, and best decor they could find.

 So we used a lot of vintage elements which were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals and filled with floral decor by Peony & Plum who knocked it out of the park, yet again.

 For the main table we used a natural wood table setup as a kings banquet table with a white runner, china plates in 4 different colorful patterns and auntique silverware from Classic Party Rentals.  

 The cake by Fantasty Frostings was covered in handmade sugar rosepetals and sat atop a fabulous linen from La Tavola. We accented the table with simple mercury glass votive holders, miniature pink spray roses in full heads & petals to give it a simple romantic look.

Real Inspiration: English Garden - Details

  Now for all of the extra details that gave even more personality to this shoot like this fabulous bouquet by Peony & Plum, which is really where the whole inspiration for the shoot began. 

The boutonnieres by Peony & Plum are elegant and simple with roses, herbs, and berries and are displayed in a vintage jewelry box from Archive Vintage Rentals. 

 The stationary was done by the talented Calligraphy Katrina. 

 We re-used the same vintage sideboard from the cake table for this escort card table along with the vintage suitcases from Archive Vintage Rentals. 

We had Calligraphy Katrina make all the escort cards, each laid on a bed of moss, plus the note pinned to the inside of the suitcase. 

See all the details of our shoot as seen on Style Me Pretty. 

 We also did a drink station with lemonade and sweet tea.

The bench, fabulous mirror, crocheted runner and pink glassware are from Archive Vintage Rentals. 

 Peony & Plum brought in the ceramic pitchers and the gorgeous flowers of course. 

 La Tavola Fine Linens provided the turquoise napkin we used as a placemat. 

  Calligraphy Katrina made all the signage. Stay tuned for Part 4 tomorrow: the Bride & Groom.

Real Inspiration: English Garden - Cake Table

 The cake table was one of the funnest things to create at the shoot. We had so much fun bringing all the pieces together to create a WOW statement. 

 The turquoise blue sideboard is from Archive Vintage Rentals along with the suitcase, glassware, ceramic vessels, and crocheted runners. 

 The beyond fabulous cake was done by none other than the extremely talented Fantasy Frostings.

  I can't get over how adorable the roses are on the cake. 

 The stellar backdrop was from Picotte Weddings, Inc. and doubled as the photo booth backdrop which you'll see later this week. 

 The table wouldn't have been complete without the floral stylings of Peony & Plum, which just completed the whole look. 

 The photos were also captured by Picotte Weddings, Inc. who really helped capture the true essence of this shoot. 

 The pillows stacked next to the sideboard are from La Tavola Fine Linens. It helped us bring the inside comforts of home to this outdoor shoot.
