Our Wedding Magazine shoot...the photos

A few posts ago I showed you the magazine lay out for the Blooms feature in the Our Weddings Magazine. Today I want to share more of the images taken by Jennifer of http://www.memoryjournalists.com/
The design was created by office mate, Stephanie of /stephaniejdesigns.blogspot.com and myself. We had a lot of fun pulling from our grandmothers linen cupboards, searching antique stores for milk glass and depression glass. The setting was Wilson Vineyards in front of a lovely creek. We set our table under the tree and hung a floral wreath to define our space. Stephanie created all the labels for the soda bottles, champagne bottles etc...To me details make the decor, flower garlands on the backs of the chairs, the old ice chest lid graces with blooms.
I really love how it all came together!

Blooms featured in Our Wedding Magazine

The latest issue of Our Wedding Magazine just came out and I am so excited! For this issue Blooms teamed up with Stephanie J Designs, stephaniejdesigns.blogspot.com, to create what has to be one of my favorite shoots ever!
We went completely vintage for the shoot, from the linens to the old ice cooler, thanks grandma, to the depression glass plates and sterling silver flatware. Stephanie even found the old style paper straws, super cute.
We imagined what a bride from the 50's might have done if she was preparing a picnic for her sweetheart and a couple of friends, fresh colors, fresh fruit and of course, soda pop. The table sits overlooking a quiet stream with a floral wreath placed to anchor the setting. A stacked floral arrangement done in vintage milk glass grouping the flowers in a monochromatic scheme.
Each place setting has it's own color, yellow David Austin roses with daffodils, Pink garden roses with ranuculus, green roses and Kermit mums, and blue delphinium. Herbs are mixed in to add a lovely fragrance.
The nosegay is a mix of all the flowers wrapped in an antique linen.
Every occasion is made into a celebration with champagne, with this in mind we gave each of our guests, their own personal bottle, straw included.




The shoot took place at wilsonvineyards.com and was photographed by Jennifer of the http://www.memoryjournalists.com/
