From Inspiration to Reality: The Design, III
It’s easy to get excited about blogging when you get to write about such gorgeous features as today’s From Inspiration to Reality Shoot. Meagan Gilpatrick of Maine Seasons Events headed up the shoot with an incredible concept and design, perfect inspiration for those of you searching for a little rustic elegant eye candy. Ashley Vaughn of Occasions Bridal & Tuxedo provided the insanely gorgeous lace gown and the perfect turquoise shoes. And the cake, crafted by Little Black Book member Erin Gardner of Wild Orchid Bakery made the day just about as sweet as it could possibly get.
From Erin Gardner, Wild Orchid Bakery… When designing cakes I like to take in the overall picture of the wedding and really compliment the other items involved. When Meagan emailed me the pictures of the dress I knew I wanted to use the lace detail. In my mind, dresses and cakes go hand and hand so I really wanted the two to relate to each other without being a direct imitation. Once I had the bottom two tiers done in the blue with the lace overlay, I decided to do the top in ivory with a gold band around the base to draw the eye upward. I wanted the scale of the cake to be reminiscent of the dresses waistline. Sugar flowers are one of my specialties, so to complete the cake & add a personal touch I placed a single ivory rose with subtly shaded petals to give it an even more vintage feel.

That is so beautifully styled - it looks like the perfect country wedding with some unique twists. Stunning!
You guys! Those are sooo beautiful. So understated, elegant, yet fresh and modern. The palette is simply stunning.
This is SO COOL. Rustic, yet elegant. I love the little nest and eggs on top of the cake! I've never seen anything like this!

The cake is spectacular! Well done.
Wow....I don't comment very often, but this is Ahhhhmazing!!! I love the color pallette as well as the combination of rustic and formal/elegant. Absolutely wonderful. I am loving the use of both burlap and silk (or satin). This designer is a girl after my own heart...love it!
That cake is so INSANE! The photography and cake combo is unstopable.
The florals, vintage accents, and the table coverings -- absolutely gorgeous! And the chairs... well worth the money.
abby - i completely agree with you on the chivari chairs. go for a fun color!!! so worth it.
This is a great take on the "dress" shot. the accessories, the barn background...subtle and romantic.
Your photos are spectacular!
