I recently worked with the fabulous Wendy Alexis of Lavishly Chic to create a styled wedding inspiration shoot for all of you brides out there who appreciate glamour and elegance as much as we do!

We chose a color palette of bold jewel tones, blush, merlot, navy blue and a pop of champagne gold as the foundation for our shoot. Next, we carefully selected the perfect crystal encrusted cap sleeve wedding gown from Calla Blanche for our model. We wanted this inspiration to feel like a modern take on the glam of old Hollywood; a subtle touch of art deco but not full-on Gatsby. In addition to coordinating, Wendy also crafted the stunning and unique monochrome bouquet and centerpieces. As a finishing touch, we included laser cut acrylic table numbers and name cards from Happily Ever Etched’s impressive set of products.

Check out the photos below and feel free to pin your favorites!
