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

Aquamarine Inspired Styled Shoot

Jenn — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 04:02:42 +0000

We love how the team behind this aquamarine inspired styled shoot carefully decided on the details! Firstly, all the colors in this shoot were on point. The combination of blush, muted blue and gold touches provided a calm tone that pulled it all together. Meanwhile, for couples who love to have a grand entrance, the Larz Anderson House is a perfect choice. It’s a tangible element of elegance and is known for its amazing architecture. The floral arrangements from PETALOS DC were organic and definitely stood out. Having a beautiful head turned white horse on your wedding day would be a dream! Photographer Victoria Delgado of Tori Del Photography did a wonderful job capturing all the nitty-gritty and color in every frame, and we especially love the calm and peaceful feeling every photo evokes. Take cues from this styled shoot if you’re considering an aquamarine inspired wedding!

Elegant Engagement Ring Trends

Kacey Bradley — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 14:10:55 +0000

Once you’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, it’s romantic to imagine how you’ll get engaged. Will your future fiancé propose in front of your family and friends, or whisk you off to someplace private and romantic?

There are a million different ways to get engaged, but it all comes down to one ring. It’s good to talk about which styles you like with your significant other before they go to the jewelry store. They should know what you prefer, but it’s up to you to know which rings are in and out of style.

Check out these elegant engagement ring trends for 2020. You’ll find one you love that won’t look out of place when you put it on after the big proposal. They’ll also be widely available in stores, so you can browse many different shops to find the perfect one.

1. Add Color Everywhere

Traditionally, engagement rings showed off a solitary diamond. The crystal clear bling stood out and amazed anyone who saw it, but now that’s the standard people expect from an engagement ring.

Recently, colorful rings have become a popular style — and it won’t go anywhere during 2020. Find one with a band made out of diamonds in bright purples and greens. Make a ruby red diamond the center of your ring or find one made with your birthstone.

2. Copy the Georgian Era

The Georgian period lasted from 1714 to 1837 under the rule of four King Georges. It set many style trends, especially for jewelry. You can copy the details of this era in your engagement ring. Choose a classic style like an emerald cut and have it inlaid with many tiny diamonds instead of one larger one. They will make it a work of art, referencing the Georgian era without making the ring look out of place.

3. Embrace Pearl Accents

Diamonds used to be for engagement rings like pearls were for ladies sitting down to tea. Now, many women choose to include them in their engagement rings. It’s such a popular 2020 fad that celebrities are already jumping into the trend, setting pearls amid diamonds and other jewels.

4. Mix Your Metals

When you step into a jewelry store, you’ll see plenty of singularly metal rings, but a 2020 trend will be mixing the metals. You can choose two types of gold or contrast silver and gold, whatever looks right to you. Mixed metal rings look great with most jewelry, so you won’t feel stuck with one tone after your wedding.

5. Wear a Multi-Stone Band

Another way to make your ring stand out in the new year is to wear a multi-stone band. In years past, engagement rings had the big diamond and wedding bands had tiny diamonds around the edges. Now, brides are starting to wear engagement rings that feature more diamonds. It’s a trend that will carry on well into 2020.

6. Find an Heirloom Ring

Weddings are a special time to celebrate love and family, which is why many brides look to heirlooms for their engagement ring. Ask your family members if there have been any rings passed down through the generations. You can resize it to fit your finger and know it has an extra special place in your heart when the proposal finally happens.

Think Big and Bold

Engagement ring trends in 2020 will be big and bold, embracing colors, mixed metals and even antique styles. If you want your ring to fit in with the latest styles next year, try browsing these ideas to see which ones you like the most. You’ll find the right look and have a stylish ring to show off in your engagement pictures.

Vintage Boho Elopement Wedding Styled Shoot

Car — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 14:07:40 +0000

This moody, vintage infused boho elopement styled shoot was planned and styled by White Rabbit Events. Sandy Anger Studios captured the gorgeous photos and Amaros Media put together a sweet and romantic video highlight reel. What followed this event was a heartwarming twist.

We’re All About the Details!

Cailey and Brendan originally held their dream wedding ceremony in the mountainous Sonoran Desert of cacti filled, Tucson, Arizona. When their videographers asked the striking pair if they’d like to model for an elopement themed styled shoot back home in Ontario, Canada, the couple readily agreed. They even offered the use of Brendan’s father’s sprawling, 3-acre, creek-lined homestead in Stoney Creek as a setting. Numerous trees punctuate the grounds of the large colonial style home as well as a rustic, wooden swing. The barn style garage houses a collection of vintage cars, including a 1988 Pontiac Fiero and a 1929 Ford Model A as depicted in the photos. A romantic, white vintage sweetheart table with turned legs was paired with wooden antique chairs from Vintage Rentals Caledon and adorned with gold candleholders and embossed goblets. Mikasa plates, gold flatware and ornate chargers brought elegance atop rose gold and black linens. Geodes rocks with crystal cavities added natural and unexpected beauty to the tablescape. Beautiful, hand-calligraphed circular menus, table runner and ribbon place markers were created by the gifted, Jaye Designs. The lush centrepiece was artfully designed by Touchstone Florals with Peonies, Dahlias, Roses, Weeping Willow and Eucalyptus. These gorgeous blooms in rich hues of ruby red, pink, cream and green were echoed in the bridal bouquet, boutonnière, arch, registry and cake table arrangements, also accenting the grill of the vintage Ford.

Exquisite donuts and mini cream puffs with a gold harlequin pattern and miniature roses were made by Occassions Treats Parlour. With an antique gold frame looming above, their three-layer, marbled and moody-hued cake with flawless flowers was fit for royalty, topping a charming antique sewing table with florals spilling from wooden drawers.The beautiful cabinet turned sweet table was one of many wonderful vintage and antique items sourced from Joani Wedding Rentals. Their copper arch crowned with florals in front of the stream served as a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony. A charcoal tufted settee provided lush seating, and an ornate white desk served as a registry table. A romantic teepee tent with vintage accessories, cozy textiles, rustic wood signs depicting “Mr”, “Mrs”, and “Happily Ever After” created the perfect setting for a cuddle and some strumming on the acoustic guitar.Calligraphy was delightfully prominent in this shoot. In addition to the tablescape creations and wood signs, Jaye Designs scribe inscribed “Love Struck” onto the back of a leather jacket worn by Cailey. Another fabric quote which read: “And so the adventure begins” was fastened to a copper arch. The stunning invitation suite was infused with shades of copper, gold, blush and black, depicting beautiful country roses and a map.

Makeup by Lubu was flawless with warm cocao shades and rose gold glitter accentuating Cailey’s eyes, and shimmery pink lips with a dash of gold. She also created a romantic and beautiful side swept braid in Cailey’s hair, interwoven with a delicate hair vine embellished with pearls and crystal from Blush Bridal.Cailey wore two exquisite dresses. The first, a beautiful and convertible Henkaa Sakura gown that can effortlessly be worn 21+ different ways. So pretty and perfect for an elopement as it can easily be rolled up into your suitcase, it’s comfortable and takes up little space. Her second dress by Berta was a stunning lace, deep v-neck gown with embellished bodice, long sleeves and flared, mermaid skirting. The magnificent, 23 foot veil was handmade by Cailey and her mother. Brendan was debonair in his black and white Tolo Tuxedo. The marquis cut engagement ring Cailey wore was breathtaking. This beauty came from Michael Hill Jewelers who also supplied Brendan’s wedding band. Cailey’s wedding ring and necklace were both sourced from Khan’s Custom Jewellery.
