Inspiration Shoot Featured on Southern Wedding Magazine

About a month ago I was invited by the great Chelsey Boatwright (my South Florida photog crush) and Desiree Dawn (my new wedding planner crush!) to participate in an inspiration shoot. I have been dying to show you the shoot! This week, to my excitement, Southern Wedding Magazine decided to feature our shoot on their page! The shoot, designed by Desiree, was cabo inspired. She did a great job with the styling and Chelsey captured everything beautifully. Here is what Desiree had to say about it:

Our inspiration was from all of the beautiful combinations of Spanish and
Latino cultures in South Florida – a Cabo Hacienda Fiesta! South Florida is just
so lush and tropical almost year round, it seems silly not to enjoy all of the
bright and happy colors of the greenery and fruits – and the people! We created
a “Dinner for Two” scene showcasing beautiful pottery and fresh mangos – and
Tequila Sunrise cocktails. A Tequila Tasting table provided “guests” with a
chance to enjoy five tequilas – salt and lime included. And a “Toss Table” gives
“guests” the option of choosing petals, oats, salts, rice crispies or lavender
to toss towards the bride and groom. The bouquet was made of peonies, tulips,
roses and lavender, and the table decor was made of palm leaves, roses,
bougainvillea, tulips and artichokes! Our bride and groom, Sara and Kevin, were
gracious enough to pose for some post-wedding shots, and they were a delight!

I can't wait to show you Sara and Kevin's wedding which I did the flowers for and Chelsey photographed! I also can't wait to work with this great group of ladies again.

Kevin and Sara's Bridal Shower

We wanted to do something really special for this particular bridal shower. Last minute I decided to make a sail boat out of flowers. Here it is:

For the rest of the tables the host used burlap table covers on which we added some driftwood and some other wispy flowers. We also used some simple vases with blue dendrobium orchids to create a colorful beach/seaside shower.

And here are some other details just for fun:

(By the way, I know the adorable favor boxes came from an Etsy seller, but I don't know which one.)
