The fun of photoshoots is the chance to be wildly creative not only with flowers but all of the details. For this fall shoot at a private southern hunting preserve, feathers, antlers and all things outdoors were the inspiration given to our team of creatives by the talented Heather Durham photography.
I approach my projects by taking color cues from seasonal foliage and flowers. Fall leaves inspired our floral palette of soft peach to coral, and dusty yellows. Soft blues and grays were added to mimic the aged barn wood of the venue and clear blue skies. . Peach stock, Juliette garden roses, and ranunculus are the main players . We added hulk hydrangea and globe thistle (our signature flower) for a touch of blue green and dusty miller for a grayed texture.. .
To achieve these colors in the details, I soaked a green crochet-edge ribbon in blueberry juice to achieve a lovely soft blue green . For the peachy rustic tassel style accent, I braided peach velvet ric rac for a western edge and a punch of color. Floral crowns added a whimsical touch to our gorgeous bridesmaids then served as a in promptu floral collar for our unplanned furry friend model ......... She had to be included! This lovely shoot made the rounds online and in print with Weddings Unveiled, Who What Wear and Birmingham News.

We literally jumped at the chance to work with our friend Heather Durham on another styled shoot editorial. This time, we chose a venue I have admired not only for their cuisine but for the view. Gorgeous Springhouse at Russell Lands, with its rustic stone and timber architecture, is sited on a hillside overlooking Russell Lands Stables and further, Lake Martin. We chose a rich fall palette inspired by a Persian Rug in my collection. Latavola blue velvet damask and Italian dinnerware from Bromberg's set the elegant head table. Our talented stylist, Tracy Morgan, chose the grooms attire (a gorgeous velvet jacket) . Our model was perfectly styled with hair and make up by Brittany Massey and wore a gorgeous 2 piece gown from Ivory and White. Redartistry's paper suite was perfection. . Many thanks to all of our talented wedding vendors and of course Heather Durham photography for her gorgeous images. We were all thrilled be featured in Birmingham Magazines Wedding Issue.
