The Extras

To round out this week of sharing our vintage photo shoot with you, I wanted to share some of the 'extra' scenes we did.  We had so many ideas from the whole group that we kept finding amazing places to take pictures (i.e. the bathtub).

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 

Enjoy...

The Duck Pond

Yes, there really is a pond in Atlanta called the Duck Pond.  It is this little park in the middle of Buckhead with tons of ducks and willow trees.  It is quite the romantic spot and made for the perfect backdrop for one of our scenes.

I also think this would make a great spot for engagement pictures!

You Can Have Your Cake and Eat It Too!

As part of the styled shoot, I put together a dessert table.  I got to let the creative juices flow and just do whatever came to mind.  It was so much fun - no bride to please, no toes to step on - just my own input and ideas.

We had two cakes from a local bakery, Miss Mamie's, and I brought cupcakes, cookies and champagne.  Pulling together some vintage pieces from my house and Krissy's house, the table really came together.  (And the cakes were a delicious treat at the end of the day!)

Morgan's mom did the flowers for us - they were gorgeous!

The table made for a great backdrop too!

Not Your Ordinary Wedding

As part of the vintage photo shoot, we went with a less than ordinary look for a few of the scenes.  Not every bride wants to walk down the aisle in white and hey, that's perfectly okay.

Your wedding day is all about you and should fit your style.  If that means going against the grain and being non-traditional, go for it!

Why not wear yellow?

I love the yellow bowtie and dress together - so sweet

Or why not wear black?

Add a belt to add something extra to the dress

What do you guys think of non-traditional looks? 

Up tomorrow: The Dessert Table!

A Vintage Fairytale

"And they lived happily ever after..."

As I've mentioned a couple times last week and yesterday, I was involved in a styled photo shoot a few weeks ago.  The whole idea came from Krissy with Make Believe'N to feature her wedding sashes and grew from there.  Krissy had the idea of a vintage 1940's themed shoot and asked me to join from a planning and styling aspect.  From there we got photographers, other designers, models, make-up and hair stylists to sign on (if you've ever done a styled shoot, you'll know from experience that the logistics are not a walk in the park).

After we got everyone on board, Krissy, myself and the two photographers (Morgan & Janelle) went scouting for locations.  We found so many around Atlanta (such a great city for photo shoots!) but landed on Oglethorpe for the romantic feel and Janelle's house which is full of amazing backgrounds and scenes.

Bright and early on a Sunday (aka 730 am!) we got started with the hair, make-up and styling.  As you can see everything came together perfectly to make a vintage fairytale.

This is a great shot of everything coming together - the 40's hair & make-up with Krissy's belt

One of my favorites!

Loved this wall - it was a great find at Oglethorpe!

Loved the romance in this picture.

What do you guys think of the shoot?  It was such a fun experience!  Annnnd I have more to share with you all week long! 

Up tomorrow - less traditional wedding looks.
