{Enchanted Mint and Gold . . . Part 2: Champagne & Table Decor}


Back to our Enchanted Mint and Gold Shoot . . .
If you missed Part I you can see it here.

Now on to the next part: 
The Reception Table

(all photos by the amazing Aly from La Luz Photography)

My inspiration for this part of the shoot was the herringbone backdrop that I made (DIY baby!) with glitter gold cardstock and mint green cardstock.  I traced and cut each piece, and hot glued it to my backdrop fabric in the herringbone shape and viola! 
LOVE how it turned out.

(Check out the AMAZING hollywood regency chandeliers from Vintage Ambiance)
Also my lovely model Claudia Lorena is just adorable, right? 
Hair and makeup by my girl Yessie Makeup Artistry!

Other inspiration: gold gold gold! I spray painted the pine cones and plastic fruit pieces gold, love that too!
The menus: I designed these to include the "arrow" theme of the shoot, also a fun whimsical font was important:)
Tip to make your champagne sweet and fun: add rock candy! Also can add some color if desired:)

Each place setting included some textured gold chargers, the lovely vintage plates from Vintage Ambiance, mint green napkins, the arrow through the fruit seating card, and goldware.


OH and the flowers just made the table, thanks to the lovely Nicole from Florarama Modern Design.


The girls enjoying their champagne in their Luly Yang Couture gowns.
There is just something perfect about little simple bud vases :) See!






I mean that backdrop, right?!

Next up from this shoot . . . the dessert table!!!

What is your favorite element from this shoot?
Mine, is coming up next!!!

{Weekend Wedding Snapshot}

Seriously I am the luckiest person to be able to witness such love and joy each weekend.  To be able to get a glimpse into a couple's love and life, those moments I witness at a wedding I will never forget.

One of these very special moments is when I get to sneak a glance of the First Look . . .


It just warms my heart to watch the reaction of the couple seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day, all dolled up with so much anticipation and excitement.  Yes even though I have seen many of these . . . I still tear up.

Here was my dear bride Jo and the love of her life Peter.
