Vintage, Shabby Chic Wedding Shoot, IV
This is my favorite group of pictures from the series. Not sure why…I think it’s the awesome pops of pink paired with the dark suit. The AMAZING flowers that Nancy Liu Chin designed. The photography by Lisa Lefkowitz that is literally making my mouth water. Or maybe the picture perfect styling by Gloria Wong. Whatever the reason, it’s entirely delicious!
More from Gloria…
We used a long, wooden table with a printed runner, vintage turquoise mason jars and bottles as vessels for bright pink peonies, pies, pinwheels, and colored candies to add whimsy. The pink, amber, and turquoise glass tumblers were scattered about the table and used as votive holders and we used mismatching old shabby chairs with printed cushions. Other details included rusty tin pails that were used to hold garden flowers, a vintage address number “8” tied to the back of a chair with brightly colored ribbon indicated table number (LOVE THAT) and a set of custom-packaged condiments found a home on each table. “A&R” steak sauce, tomato sauce, and mustard fit right in on the picnic-appropriate tables. All of the condiment packaging was by Good On Paper Design.
Each place setting received a different combination of patterns on its place mat, napkin, and flower cutout. Some place settings had gingham printed place mats with ditsy floral printed napkins. Others had ditsy floral place mats with large floral napkins. Each setting was different! The menu and place mats were also designed by Good On Paper Design, the letterpress was done by Flybird Press and the Paper flower cutouts by Anne Millett of Mira Aster.
The incredible invitation suite was designed by Good On Paper Design, calligraphy by Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls, Letterpress by Flybird Press and again, the cutouts by Mira Aster.
PS…there are a TON of other vendors that worked on this shoot and we’ll be crediting all of them at the end of the feature.
This whole shoot is just amazing - I love the subtle colors and the vintage feel....it has elegance and SMP written all over it :) What an awesome inspire guide for future brides!
ok...seriously? Is this wedding real? Even the stamps on the invites are perfect! I cannot get over it...
these wedding is magical! those colors are to die for... where are those stamps from?!?!
No, this wedding is not real!! I mean really, its a fantasy photo shoot, with absolutely no basis in reality.
speachless!
How beautiful is this shoot, I can't even begin to say...it's a real life inspiration board and you can take pieces or the who thing for ideas. I love it.
really? I knew it was too good to be true. Still very inspiring.
Priceless!
I love the fabrics! Does anyone know of great online fabric resources to find such cute prints?? (affordable, of course!)
That dress makes me want a short dress - so vintage chic and rewearable!
Where did you you get that adorable fabric and cute labels for the favors? Adorable wedding!!!
Is there any way to find out where the dress is from? My friend is having a City Hall ceremony and has been looking for something exactly like that.
I too would love to know where the short dresses are from. They are gorgeous. What a great (pretend) wedding!
is there any information available regarding the grooms suit? i love it...
I love love the dress and have been looking for something exactly like that for my wedding :) can we please have the details thanks!!!
Call 911 I am dying right now! this is unbelievable.
Hi there! Here's some more info on the shoot... Printed fabrics were from Peapod Fabrics... Unfortunately, their online store is temporarily closed. But check back soon! The stamps were designed by our uber talented stationer Good On Paper Design. I always encourage custom designed stamps for invitation sets. You can have them printed at www.zazzle.com. Groom's suit was from Zara. Groom's punchy accessories were from Nordstrom. Bride's short dress worn with the mustard cardigan was a vintage Anna Sui from our wardrobe stylist's own closet. The cardigan was from J.Crew. The head piece was from Anthropologie. The other short dress (sans cardigan) was also a personal dress of our wardrobe stylist's. It was an old H&M dress!
Sorry if this photoshoot is fantasy to some but I feel like it is a great inspiration for which many brides and grooms can do. There's so many ideas here that you don't need to do everything... I think the bottom line is that you can make something things charming, unique, personable by having meaningful touches. You don't need expensive products. You don't need unusual props. What you need is inspiration, ingenuity, and ideas - and desire! We took a simple vintage tool and lined it with paper. That's not very hard to do. But you've got to see the ideas. You've got to see alternative ways to take ordinary things and turn them into a creative concept. An old wooden tool box, simple glass, basic ceramic bowls, vintage keys, old canning glass, store bought pies, grocery cherries(to name just of the few details) can go from ordinary to extraordinary with some thought.
Ah--I meant i love everything about this wedding!
Mariah--where is the adorable flower girl dress from?
