Bees & Blossoms {inspiration to reality- part I}

Bees & Blossoms.
It started with a song.
The inspiration started in the car listening to Lady Antebellums’ song “American Honey”. Honey made me think of bees, which made me think of the blooming apple trees. I then thought how wonderful would it be for a couple to have a wedding and small reception amongst the blooming apple trees in the spring. The thought became a reality in this charming “Bees and Blossoms” theme. I had a great team of vendors whom collaborated with me to make this such a success. The entire shoot was styled by me and my really great friend, Jenny De Lang. We had a blast and you may just see us style more weddings and events in the future!

Everything was lined up. All the amazing details were in place. The vendors involved were ready to rock. My real life husband and wife team were ready to model. And then it rained. And rained. And rained. I was constantly watching the weather, and every channel kept saying that the rain was to clear up around 12:00 pm. We were to start decorating around 2:00 pm. Then, the clouds broke. Just in time. It was perfect….

Despite the fierce wind we had all week, the apple trees were beautiful and in full bloom.

Cassie, you are so beautiful, and Sarah, you did an amazing job on her makeup. You made her eyes pop. Pure genius. The girls at City Image Salon gave Cassie’s hair a very elegant look… Beautiful!

Wade was wearing a beautiful vintage suit courtesy of Monkey Suit Vintage. If only I knew about them when I got married… How nice would it be to have all the guys styling in their vintage suits?
Cassie was wearing a unique Lazaro design from about 6 years ago. A hand sewn brown, velvet shawl added a nice touch to her dress.
