Romantic and Whimsical Spring Garden Peach Styled Shoot at The Whitehurst Gallery
The inspiration for this shoot started with a site visit at The Whitehurst Gallery in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The architectural elements on the interior and exterior of the building represent true artistry, and I knew that I had to showcase this to engaged couples. Even more than showing how exquisite the venue itself was, I wanted to show the versatility of the building and the grounds, and how it could really take on an array of colors and styles.
I created the different set ups around my floral inspiration, knowing that the florals would be the ultimate display of the colors, textures and depth that I wanted to showcase. The lush and dreamy floral arch designed by Blooming Floral Art, along with the centerpiece installation, aisle markers and bouquet, were the pillars of the shoot. The details of the tablescape, including the linens, tabletop rentals, florals and fruit, were the true culmination of the vision, especially the peaches! And what compliments an elegant coupe glass champagne tower better than a grand piano? The coupe glasses, china and flatware were from Oak and Ash Events, along with the romantic and dreamy lounge vignette that graced the entrance to the gallery. And the menu cards, along with the invitation suite, were created by A&P Designs and added the perfect accents of warm yellow and mauve that brought harmony to the bright florals.
One of the fun and sweet focal points of the shoot was the champagne cart from Booze & Bubbles! Decorated with fresh fruit and florals, it was the perfect addition to the set! Ever the artist, CC Sweets also brought a sweet element to the shoot - a stunning cake that absolutely blew me away. The hand painted buttercream flowers were truly spectacular. And a dreamy and whimsy styled shoot would not be complete without a sweet and playful puppy in a suit, and FairyTale Petcare made that possible!
Golden Hour portraits on the rooftop were a must-have, and they did not disappoint! Between the beautiful models and the gorgeous gown for White Closet Bridal, every shot captured was breathtaking. The jewelry pieces from the Whitehurst Gallery brought the perfect level of glam and sparkle, and Adore Bridal’s Hair & Makeup was nothing short of perfection, as usual. And each detail that brought the theme to life was marvelously captured by Cornelia Z Photography and Stephanie Lanni Photography!
This will always be one of my favorite shoots because of the high level of detail that came together from the venue, vendors and models. It was a brilliant showcase of creativity, and high level execution!
