Edgy Vibrant Tropical Jungle Styled Shoot at Bay Preserve

Written By Lauren Gertz

This shoot was inspired by the aspects of a tropical paradise atmosphere. From the vibrant colors and lush greenery, to the warmth of the environment and the wildlife, I wanted to capture it all! Naturally, the tropical-inspired color palette consisted of vivid oranges, warm blush pinks, vibrant corals, and lush tropical greens! The venue, Bay Preserve at Osprey, was the perfect setting for a paradise jungle vibe because it truly felt like a tropical oasis all on its own! I knew that the waterfront view, framed by the stunning palm trees, would provide the perfect backdrop to the ceremony! From there, the vision sprang to life! It’s amazing what can be created through nature-lead inspiration!

Each of the setups were designed to showcase traditional wedding elements in a fun and unique way! Starting with the flatlay details, I wanted to emphasize a true destination wedding vibe with the gorgeous monstera leaf background, and fun accessories! The retro glasses, yellow shows, and unique gold pearl jewelry and rings all paired beautifully with the gorgeous invitation suite and wedding weekend itinerary from Soph Script Co. Everything screamed tropical destination wedding adventure, but in the most luxurious way!

The ceremony was the perfect pairing of modern and tropical. The ghost chairs from Gabros and modern circle arch from Posy contrasted beautifully with lush tropical greenery and florals from Arms of Persephone. Each floral was carefully chosen for color, and texture, and to enhance the overall theme. The florals included ginger blossoms, ranunculus, vibrant roses, mokara orchids, and of course, monstera leaves. With the water and gorgeous trees and greenery in the background, it really felt like a truly immersive tropical jungle ceremony location! Every vibe from the ceremony carried over into the tablescape, with the ghost chairs, table and linens from Gabros, as well as more stunning florals from Arms of Persephone added to the deconstructed arch arrangements and strategically placed on and around the table. The tableware from Set and Styled paired beautifully with the other elements to create a show stopping tropical tablescape! It was all about the details, right down to the monstera leaf seating chart with gorgeous calligraphy from Soph Script Co., and every detail was perfection!

Speaking of details - the Emerald Bar from The Wandering Whale was so pretty and luxurious that I could not resist including it! The added barware and bar sign - another detail from Soph Script Co., paired with the gorgeous floral arrangement, took the bar display to the next level! And of course the fabulous backdrop wall from Posy Exchange brought in more of the gorgeous greenery and bright bursts of color.

Of course shoots are never complete with amazing models! They were so sweet and down for anything, and I loved that! The coral gown from Styled.Gowns was truly perfection and was the most gorgeous burst of color in every scene, and looked fabulous when paired with the classic suit from Sacino’s. Adore Hair and Makeup created an effortlessly elegant hair and makeup look, and the jewelry from Estylo Jewelry added the perfect amount of sparkle! And the amazing Miranda Rose Photography captured every single detail flawlessly!

Moody, Modern & Whimsical Fall Inspired Styled Shoot at La Hacienda
Moody, Modern & Whimsical Fall Inspired Styled Shoot at La Hacienda

Our inspiration from this shoot came from some photos we saw on Pinterest, that were high contrast with a modern essence, and with peach and eggplant for the foundational colors. Whimsical vibes are our absolute favorite at MDP Events, so we really wanted to create a shoot that brought together whimsical and modern elements, and also had a moody, yet romantic vibe. We also wanted to showcase high contrast fall tones, without going for the typical warm fall colors and jewel tones that everyone expects. For this reason, we chose eggplant, pink, peach, light orange, white, and muted natural tones for our color scheme.
