Over The Top Luxury Styled Shoot

Jenn — Thu, 27 May 2021 13:00:41 +0000

We’ve seen many modern minimalist weddings trend in the wedding space recently, but this “over the top” luxury styled shoot tells us that classic glamour will always be in style. Thirteen wedding vendors came together, did their magic, and viola, an extravagant set will capture our hearts today. With gorgeous combination of gold, magenta, and purple and touches of white and green, this shoot is totally adorable! The lavish florals, the outfits, and the venue’s jaw-dropping staircase as well as the grand ballroom were consistent with the theme. Now, let’s see what other beautiful details consisted this amazing shoot as event planner, Tiffanie, shares with us the nitty-gritty!

The “Over the Top!” styled shoot was inspired by the absent 2020 wedding season due to COVID. For the first time the LIVE! Casino and Hotel (Event Center) allowed a styled shoot and we were given three spaces and from there we created a story. The Penthouse Suite was the couple’s “honeymoon” and after the event which showcased just them with beautiful views and details surrounding their day. We also utilized the suite level which was a more glam but casual effect with a long table adorned with high colorful centerpieces, custom elements; menu cards, a touch of florals on the bar, and a black top table. The Grand Ballroom was a favorite as we had space to build two gorgeous arches that were adorned in bright florals; purples, pinks, and some greenery highlighted by uplighting, candles, gold chargers, utensils, and colorful menu cards to compliment the look. – Tiffanie, event planner

Styled Shoot: Jewel Toned Wedding

Jenn — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 15:00:00 +0000

Jewel tones have always been associated with love, passion, and romance which is why the month of February, the love season, in particular, is bursting with rich colors. No wonder why shades of emerald green, lush shades of pinks, and deep royal purples make such beautiful wedding motifs. These combinations can exude a range of looks from sensual and elegant to lively and alluring, and will always have an eye-catching pop. If you’re thinking about how to put together a jewel toned wedding, here’s a sophisticated shoot from RLJ Photography, LLC that will give you some inspiration! See below how he and his amazing vendors came up with clever and gorgeous ways of using jewel tones.

From The Photographer

Welcome to this jewel tone photoshoot inspired by *Love in Colors*. Against the backdrop of a vibrant burst of colors, we are taken on a ride showcasing the beauty and complexity of love through beautiful colors. With the arrival of winter, rich opulent jewel tones of emerald green, lush shades of pinks and deep royal purples set the scene fit for a king and his queen. Exuding elegance and class, this color palette mixes dark tones and different textures to create a romantic look.

As the perfect muse, the beautiful bride and her love for vibrant colors which tell a story, was the main inspiration for this shoot. An unconventional bride with classic yet modern tastes, her wedding look had to be the foundation from which every other element of the shoot comes together. Her swarovski studded and lace Soliloquy wedding dress was ‘a little bit vintage and a little bit glam’. Accenting her simple elegant dress was a statement headpiece made of delicate petals and pearls. A simple bouquet of mostly hot pink roses with decadent green leaves topped off with a little bit of bling, completed this perfect timeless look.

With the wedding dress being intentionally understated, we wanted the colors in the decor to pop and make a bold statement. Custom gold tables were set with towering gold candelabras and clusters of low flower arrangements of lush hot pink roses, purple carnations, purple ranunculus and scabiosa black burgundy. Finishing it off with our gorgeous purple floral charger plates with matching gold cutlery sets, lends texture and depth to the overall look, giving it a truly elegant and romantic look. The backdrop was a sweetheart’s dream come true with cascading florals and candles surrounding a bold statement making an emerald green sofa.

The beauty of a jewel toned wedding is being able to indulge in the elegance and grandeur that the theme exudes, even if it’s just for one day. With deep bold tones mixed with bright pretty colors, this shoot pays homage to a classic couple with modern taste. A passionate couple who isn’t afraid to show their love through colors.

Darky and Moody Christmas Themed Wedding

Jenn — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 21:00:42 +0000

And just like that, we’re now moving towards the end of the year! While the holiday season is normally all about red and green, a group of amazing vendors took a detour and created a non-traditional, dark, and moody Christmas themed wedding. This is a perfect inspiration for couples looking to celebrate their holiday wedding in a uniquely elegant way. Thanks to Star Noir Studio for sharing with us this excellent work!

Down To The Nitty-Gritty

I came up with the idea for this during another styled shoot and brainstormed with a vendor who dropped out at the last moment. I was lucky enough to have a great relationship with an amazing stylist/coordinator, Lindsay with Custom Love Gifts, Events, and Prints, and she was willing to come on last minute and completely rework the shoot from the ground up making it even better than it would have been originally!

We got the dark art deco wedding dress from amazon for a steal at around $50, and it looked fantastic on our model paired with a simple, long black veil. The dress was so beautiful that it didn’t need jewelry to enhance it. Our model, Kelli’s natural beauty was enhanced by Amanda and Crystal with Southern Sirens who chose a simple old Hollywood wave style for the hair and a dark, striking makeup palette. We ordered a moonstone ring from a sweet Etsy shop as a beautiful alternative to diamonds.

Nick with Vital Events joined us to prepare a specialty cocktail for the event that was as tasty as it was beautiful. Echelon Florist put together a gorgeous bouquet along with something I had never seen before – a floral pocket square. They also decorated some lovely black candelabras and provided us with additional loose florals to incorporate into Chapel in the Hollow’s faux florals for the chapel.

Lindsay created a hot cocoa charcuterie board to complement the cocoa mug favors to pair with the black red velvet cake from Publix. Millstone Crafted created an invitation with a mystical feel, a recipe for a Yule prosperity jar, and a faux tarot card style table number (the 4 of trees) to complete the look.

Langdon Hall Wedding

Car — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 15:12:27 +0000

Ladies and gents, I’ve got a question for you! Ever fantasized about purple as your primary wedding theme? Well, this styled wedding is a fantasy come to life! With the ever growing popularity of lush, whimsical, and romantic weddings, and the revival of purple hues as a primary color scheme, this luxury trend influenced this styled shoot and created this inspiration! Purple has been a long time favorite in wedding schemes, but when London, Ontario vendors wanted to redefine the trend they wanted to showcase how different hues of purple and blushes could be mixed with greenery and create a luxurious and sophisticated design palette. You’ll no longer have a hard time picturing this scheme out thanks to NovaMarkina Photography’s glorious set. So, sit back and just keep on scrolling!

Repurposing florals throughout the day – it’s a great idea to invest in stunning florals for the ceremony, as long as you can repurpose them into the reception space afterwards. Be consistent with your theme and carry it through to the smallest of details. Weddings where the details are connected at every turn are the ones that are most often remembered. ~Lauren De Koster/Wedding Vendor

Modern Winter Styled Shoot

Car — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 08:41:57 +0000

Having a great day so far? Let me jumpstart your week with a delightful treat! We’ve been seeing a lot of boho and rustic weddings lately, haven’t we? How about something a bit fresh and exciting? Hana Gonzales Photography sent these photos over and I was pleasantly surprised to see this Modern Winter Styled Shoot that showcases the Pantone’s Color Palette of the Year so I just had to share them with you! The invites, the floral designs, the custom cake and the exceptional venue, all give off a modern vibe. Just one of the things I love about this winter wedding? The ultra violet highlights! They’re always so vibrant, colorful and exciting! Are you ready to see it for yourself? Go on, scroll down below!

We’re All About the Details!

This venue was the perfect backdrop for Pantone’s color of the year as it influenced the color pallete for the shoot. With hues of purple and complementing them with neutral colors such as grey and black we were able to let the color of the year shine. During this shoot Hana Gonzalez wanted to play on the edginess of the venue with its exposed industrial features so Hana partnered with local gown designer, Kelsy Dominick of DiDomenico who designed an amazing non-traditional wedding gown. The intricate lace details and beading on the platinum gown was the perfect piece to set the shoot over the edge.

Planning a wedding was more stressful then I could have imagined. My main piece of advice is to be very organized. This not only helps keep thoughts and ideas all in one place but also is greatly appreciated by your vendors! Another piece of advice is to make sure all projects come from the heart. Your guests will remember all the details that involve family and friends and make their time more enjoyable. ~Rob Sigler/Photographer

About the Photographer
I am a wedding photographer based in Jamestown, NY, however, my team and I will travel to any location. We frequently photograph weddings in Erie, PA, Buffalo, NY, and at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, NY. While these cities make up our home base, we LOVE to travel! We have photographed weddings in Dayton, OH, Orlando, FL, Pittsburgh, PA, and Albany, NY, just to name a few. I love photographing weddings! Why? Because I remember how amazing my own wedding day was. It was filled with extreme happiness, and was the beginning of my adult life. Photographing this day for other couples is nothing short of an honor. I become the “historian” for your day, documenting each moment as it happens. My photographic style is a mix between traditional (for posed family portraits) and photo-journalism. I love to be a “fly on the wall” and watch as your wedding day unfolds. For example, capturing the groom’s face when he sees his bride for the first time, or the emotional moment when a father sees his daughter dressed in her wedding gown. These are the moments you’ll want to remember forever!

Romantic Mountain Winter Wedding in a Castle

Car — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 21:37:56 +0000

A wonderful morning ladies! You’ll surely be wide-eyed and stunned at this amazing set by Kim Payant Photography. I can’t help but be in awe of David and Laurene’s romantic winter mountain wedding held at Fairmont Banff Springs– it could even pass as a magazine cover! They wanted an elegant touch with the rustic flair so they used colors such as royal purple and champagne gold that really brought out the mountain elegance from the wood elements tied to the highland rustic charm. The long, flowy veil of the bride’s dress definitely added a dramatic effect against the picturesque backdrop. My favorite part would be the photo shoot by the frozen lake-it looks so cool and chic! You absolutely cannot miss every stunning feature of this set! Go check it out now! Have fun!

We’re All About the Details!

The Dress and Veil

The bride found a picture of it online and dreamed about it for months. When she went to Calgary for the wedding dress shopping trip she visited Cameo & Cufflinks and they had her dream dress there! It was meant to be and when she tried it on they knew it was her perfect dress. She was so excited to wear it on her wedding day and just feel like a princess! It had a beautiful fluffy skirt and train and the veil had swarovski crystals sprayed down it which brought the perfect amount of sparkle to the train. She felt gorgeous in it! She didn’t want to take it off at the end of the day!

The Wedding Cake

The cake! The bride’s sister (a pastry chef and custom cake designer at Crave Cupcakes in Calgary) designed and made it for the couple which made it just that much more special! It was just gorgeous and had the perfect touches of mountain and elegance. They had four layers and each layer being a different flavour. So delicious! She also made a Groom’s pie (apple!) for Dave as he loves a good pie!

The Hot Cocoa and Cookie Bar

The couple had a winter wedding so what goes best with snow and cold? Hot Cocoa and cookies! They wanted their guests to feel cozy and have some fun adding toppings to their hot cocoa!

Event Venue

Located in the heart of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world famous Fairmont Banff Springs hotel stands as a landmark in the picturesque alpine town of Banff, Alberta. Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies”, has been providing legendary hospitality to our guests for more than 125 years. The perfect place for a winter wedding in the mountains.

Take this Advice

From the bride: I think the best advise that I received that I would pass along was to not lose focus of what the day is about and not get too hung up on the little details of things you can’t control when it comes to the planning. Also, video your ceremony. It’s nice to watch after the wedding to relive the moment and you’ll never remember everything that was said! And another is to invest in a good photographer, it’s worth every penny! Those photos will be with you forever and a good photographer will capture all the special moments amazingly! From the groom: Make sure to marry the right person. Explore all options, because you never know what dream venue or vendor that you think you can’t afford is actually within your reach. Get a wedding planner, even just for the day of. It allows you to actually just enjoy your wedding without having to worry about the logistics through the day. And if you already have children, include them in the ceremony/reception. Having the kids join our sand ceremony and be part of our first dance was one of the best parts of the day. ~Kim Payant/Photographer
