Tag: Inspiration Shoot

If you’d consider yourself a Southern sophisticate and have been searching for a twist on the ubiquitous blush-and-gold wedding palette, today’s inspiration is for you! The team at Two Be Wed added grey, black, and blackberry to everyone’s favorite blush, then swapped out yellow gold for its rosy sister. Paired with a stunning gray gown, a striking black wedding cake, and a couple that looks happier than a pup with two tails, Mustard Seed’s photos are making me smile on this Wednesday.

And one note about that handsome horse. He might seem a little whimsical and inspiration shoot-y, but we have had so many real wedding brides write us about how they incorporated their beloved horses into their wedding days – Molly, for one! With so many current or former farm girls in our ranks, it’s only natural that horses would pop up now and again in the weddings we feature!

From the ladies of Two Be Wed:

Inspired by the monotone invitation suite by Wedding Paper Divas, our moody palette consisted of shades of grey, black, blush, blackberry and touches of rose gold. Embellishing on the wildness of nature, Blush and Vine kept the blooms loose, romantic, and overflowing with greenery. Delicate modern details throughout included the timeless tablescape featuring Casa de Perrin china, flatware and glassware; custom rose gold monogram; and the epic noir cake created by Sugary and Chic Cake Boutique. The Marchesa Couture gown moved effortlessly through the Texas countryside and paired beautifully with a sleek grey suit. Finally, our tall, dark, and handsome stallion helped set the overall theme: peaceful and wild, both at the same time.

With fall making its way into our lives (no complaints there!), we couldn’t help but adore this county fair-inspired shoot from Attention 2 Detail Events and Alixann Loosle Photography. Home recipes, good eats and games abound, accompanied by the celebratory community feel that you can only get from the annual county fair. What better place to replicate the feeling than at a wedding?

Now how’s this for a view? The Wheeler Farm provides a picturesque backdrop for a fun-loving reception theme.

Frilly cakes, baskets of fresh fruit and richly-painted mason jars — this dessert table is prize-winning indeed. The cupcake liner ribbons are the perfect fair-inspired decoration.

I may have chuckled to myself when I saw this adorable signage — a definite nod to Toby Keith’s song. The addition of cute paper bow ties makes a simple plastic cup look oh-so-Southern.

This bright and summery turquoise + red shoot is perfect for Memorial Day, hmm? I love that the designer behind the goodies, Allison Barnhill, modeled this inspiration shoot off the dream wedding she would have loved to have for her big day eight years ago — “whimsical, lighthearted, and filled with unexpected touches.” What can I say, we wedding people love to dream!

Beautiful stationery made by Allison set the cheery tone.

I am loving the team’s use of carnations! They’re often discarded as an ugly flower, but if you mass them together in one color, they can be beautiful — and cost-conscious!

Thank you so much to Allison for sending this over, and to Elizabeth for the lovely photos! We hope you’re celebrating somewhere sunny, readers!
