The floral integration into this editorial is beautiful … from the lush arbor dripping with color, to the hand-painted floral champagne bottle. Styled with some beautiful earth toned details and a splash of pastel for some variety, this inspiration is perfect for garden or outdoor weddings with a light and feminine feel!
from the photographer: “It’s no secret that Europe is full of awe-inspiring history and architecture, giving it a unique old-world feel. Unfortunately, we don’t see that as much in the US. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t hidden gems that give off those swoon-worthy European vibes. Insert Lairmont Manor, an Italian Renaissance-style home in Bellingham, WA.
After sharing my initial vision for the shoot, Events by Genevieve designed a fine art bridal editorial masterpiece at Lairmont Manor. The editorial included classic European details such as multiple muted-colored roses, traditional white china, vintage glassware, and pears on the table. Along with the European inspiration, we wanted to add romantic and luxury twists with a custom hand-painted champagne bottle by Paige Lindsey Design, an art deco-inspired mosaic diamond ring, and giving poppies their moment in the spotlight with the floral design and sugar fondant poppies created by Birch Bakes that artfully climbed up the cake. Everything came together to create eye-catching textures and dimensions.
The bride wore a stylish, flattering light pink wedding gown from The Dress Theory Seattle. Adorned with trendy sleeves, the gown had a subtle sparkle that complimented the stones of her Bella Belle heels. All of these elements, combined with her soft updo and natural makeup, completed the feminine and classic look we were aiming for.”
