Golden Isle Event Designer and Photo Stylist
Fall seriously is my favorite season! I love the crispness in the air, the muted and warm colors, and the fact that I met my husband in the fall makes it that much more special for me. Yes, I know it’s not Fall, and no I’m not rushing it either, I’m enjoying this Spring, but we had to wait to blog this prettiness until it was published in our local Golden Isle Magazine, the Bridal Issue.
I had the privilege of working with one of the most talented photographers I know, Anna K. Photography. The lighting that she captures in her photography is just so gorgeous, and always takes my breath away.
Foodie Concept: Since I’m such a foodie and the trends are leaning more towards social hour while eating, I came up with the concept, of “Fix, Mix, and Mingle.” This translates like this…
Fix – your plate
Mix– up your plate with whatever you’d like to eat
Mingle – around or lounge while you socialize and dine!
Florals + Decor: You can NEVER have enough dripping greenery if you ask me. When I saw the piano, I knew this had to be the focal point to place our beautiful naked cake on. I tend to gravitate towards asymmetrical designs, hence you’ll see the long greenery “tail” that’s swooped to the side of the piano and the pheasant feathers that explode out of the bride’s bouquet.
I sometimes like to use two color concepts, this gives your guests some unexpected excitement! For example, you can see below that I went more monochromatic (all one color) on the tables scape, while adding in punches of color around the cake display. I cross coordinated the designs (or made them work) by adding in the gold pear and pumpkin element so they both looked like they belonged to one event.
Oh and when all else fails…grab a can of 14 karat spray paint, and get busy…it’s sure to bring any wedding or party to the next level! That’s always in my go to stash!
