This shoot was dreamed up by Lisa Villella, a photographer that I met at our local Rising Tide Society meeting for the Detroit chapter. She had an idea for an outdoor, boho, pastel, dreamy styled shoot, and I was happy to be asked on-board. I came up with an idea to make a translucent vellum booklet, and placed a real wood veneer invitation inside. I wrapped the 'booklet' with ivory twine, and sealed with a turquoise wax seal. (The same wax seal stamp I used on my own wedding invitations back in 2006!) I wanted to really bring out the pastel vibe, and since I'm in love with color (and rainbow sherbet) I decided on a lavender mailing envelope, and a rose pink inner envelope made of true handmade paper. The RSVP is a light watercolor peach, and I used a romantic scratchy script for the type. Once I got to see the photos from the day, and how everyone came together so well, I was amazed!

From Love, Inc. Magazine: “A blend of concrete, wood and mixed metals star in today’s styled shoot, which was inspired by the very city in which it takes place — Detroit. In the heart of Motor City, local creatives brought this colorful and eclectic wedding inspiration shoot together at The Villages Bier & Weingarten, a beloved spot where friends gather over beer and wine on sunny weekends. The venue gives off charming backyard vibes, which is a perfect fit for an intimate affair celebrating two dashing grooms. To contrast against some of the industrial elements, bright beautiful florals were brought in, and for a unique ceremony backdrop, baby's breath was painted pink and blue and fastened to a circular arch.

We're particularly loving the bright hued tablescape with a crushed velvet tablecloth topped with wooden chargers and concrete vessels that are filled with bright blooms. And for a bit of sweetness, cotton candy added a fun element to the top of a textured pastel wedding cake, which the newlyweds enjoyed with tasty macarons and sips of champagne. Captured by Inner Circle Photography, this fun and colorful styled shoot is sure brightening our day!”
