We all had a blast expressing our talents together, and the photos by the brilliant Kayla of Devoted + Wild truly captured the magic of each of our creative efforts.

It was such a delight to have designed the florals for this shoot. I paired together soft pinks, warm yellows, nudes, & bronze tones with various textural accompanying flowers gave the florals a feminine, soft & romantic feel. I incorporated pops of white and chocolate cosmos for contrast, and jasmine vine to give the bouquets an organic, wild, & freshly picked look.

For an extra special touch, I added some smilax vines behind the dining table as if they were organically climbing up the exposed brick wall. This really tied in the garden party feel, and brought in an added dimensional layer for the photos.

Colorado Party Rentals nailed the tablescape. The soft cool tones of the napkins, amethyst goblets, and vintage plates were a beautiful compliment to the warm toned florals.

The lovely Kelsey of Birch + Honey Collective held the vision for the shoot, planning the mood boards and inspiration featuring all the soft, feminine, romantic elements for each vendor.

The modern-industrial blank white walls, tall ceilings, & concrete floors complement the vintage elements of exposed brick, barn doors, and outdoor garden at the picturesque Blanc in Denver, CO. The space was the perfect setting for us all to create together.

Wallflower Rentals & Decor brought in vintage inspired decor & rentals to create this dreamy garden lounge, perfectly nestled in front of Blanc’s french doors, walls of lush vines and overflowing pots of white flowers. I love the look of the pastel blue furniture together with the soft peachy nude tones from the florals.

Organic. Wild. Feminine. Natural. Abundant. Colorful. Expressive. Flowers are forever my inspiration & muse.

I truly felt like a princess, especially standing with all my flowers under the arch at magic hour. Our gowns are from D’Anelli Bridal and our hair and makeup was done by the talented Nine of Wedlocks.

My stunning friend Ali & I were the models for the day. It was so much fun to play dress up as a bride and fantasize about getting ready for my own real wedding someday.
