Juniper + Berry: Deep Evergreen Winter Bridal Flowers

Kelsey and Jake of the awesome lifestyle blog Kelsey Bang are such a beautiful couple, and I was so happy when they asked me to create a flower crown and boutonniere to go with some bridal looks they styled for Illume Gowns. For these late fall/early winter photos, I chose bold pinks, deep green and hints of just-blues (eucalyptus and juniper berries) to accent the dark tones of the mountains at the beginning of winter. I love this rustic setting with the pines reflected on the lake, and the textural brocade on the Helen Gown gives it a wonderful richness. Plus this dress has pockets... so you really can't beat that.

Dusky Styled Shoot:: Beauty

Remember when I posted about my first styled shoot over a month ago?? Well things have finally settled down enough that I have been able to go through the rest. And it took forever, because I am in love with basically every single image! But if I posted them all here, you would probably hate me.

We were lucky to find the most stunning people as our models, and their energy and natural chemistry made the shoot feel so authentic. Our main couple just tied the knot for reals, so it was amazing to feel their excitement as they posed as bride and groom!

I could keep going on and on about how much I loved working with these amazing people and how exhilarating the whole creative process was, but again, I need to close my mouth and let the photos speak for themselves. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments below!

Another huuuuuuge thank you to all of our talented vendors and models. You made this experience truly magical.
