Behind the Scenes - Fall Styled Bridal Shoot

Hi friends.  For this shoot, I had three rules:  1.  No burlap.  2.  No mason jars.  3.  Style, plan, and shoot within two weeks.

In the world of DIY weddings, this made it tough!  

But, with the help of two friends as models, a professional hair stylist and make up artist, a set designer, a florist with years of experience, a handy wedding stationery company, a wedding event planner with the most romantic event venue of all time, and a wedding bridal shoppe with a talent for fit and alterations, I did it.  Okay, they did it.

I have two websites to design by the end of September, and a month of weddings, so I wanted to make sure that this shoot made it before November.  Because, then it's turkey month.  Then comes the month of magic and Santa.  And then, a new year begins and I have a completely different, if not more lengthy, bucket list for 2015.


I'd like to publicly thank all who helped behind the scenes or in spirit, and I look forward to another styled bridal shoot in January.  Which, thank goodness, is already planned.

Look to the end of the post for a vendor listing, as well as a quick video behind-the-scenes.
