Southern Bridal Inspiration Shoot

I'm still trying to get caught up on some wedding posts that I have found and love, including this charming Southern vintage bridal photo shoot found on Elizabeth Anne Designs. An entire team of talented Dallas professionals collaborated on this shoot, led by Catie Ronquillo Photography and Lauren Kelly Events.

Lauren and Catie wanted to weave old elements into a natural atmosphere to rework the current vintage trend into something new. These designers' vision was to ensure that nature was enjoyed in every capacity along with additional pops of color, and without too much fuss.

Well done!

{REAL WEDDING} Shabby Chic DIY Iowa Wedding

I am just so impressed with brides that want to not only include amazing design elements,

but they want to do them all themselves! Planning a wedding takes an enormous amount

of personal time but being able to handcraft all the personal touches is something

quite extraordinary.

This bride, who's wedding was featured on The Wedding Chicks, wanted a shabby chic theme, and executed perfectly! The beautiful photography is my Amanda Basteen Photography.

A Southern Style Wedding Shoot

So here is another beautifully styled shoot. I know I say this a lot, but I think this one might be my favorite styled photo shoot to date. I looove it!

It just oozes style, charm, sophistication, vintage, innocence, true love...

the concept was created for Southern Weddings, by Jen with Green Wedding Shoes &

Carissa with JL Designs {who also did the florals}, and the gorgeous photography by

Stephanie Williams.

My favorite element is the "Hint of Mint" bar where guests could create their own cocktails with their choice of bourbon + sweet tea {southern style} OR run and peach nectar {California style}, then muddle some mint, and select their type of sugar and fruit.

Vintage Inspired Wedding Shoot

There are so many wonderful, creative & inspiring photoshoots that talented vendors all over the country are putting together. I just love to lose myself in a wonderfully styled photoshoot. So many details can be overlook if you rush through the images...and so many creative ways to personalize your celebrations could be missed.

My inspiration file has grown tremendously over the last couple of years of seeing collaborations like this one!

I have so many gorgeous posts in the queue, and am so far behind, that I'm just going to start posting them as fast as I can...however, that doesn't mean you have to look through them as fast as you can. =)
