When I saw the board that our next From Inspiration to Reality team chose, I was a little excited. Okay, I was bursting at the seams. It was the first really modern, high style, totally glam board that had been chosen and with the talent that was going to be working on the shoot (see full list below), I could only imagine the gorgeousness that would come from it. Designed by Dooby Design Group, with stationery by Paisley Quill , photography by Aruna B. Photography and lucky for us, a little video by Epic Motion, here is the inspiration board translated into an insanely gorgeous wedding design…



Ummm…wowza. Can you imagine how cool it would be to work on a shoot like this. Or to plan a wedding that looked like this. CRAZY cool. The super chic black china, the gold accents everywhere (with my personal favorite gold touch being the frames), the everything. Madly, madly in love. And to naysayers who can’t imagine why we would embark on this photo shoot adventure…the gazillion of steal worthy designs tucked inside every image. Sure to inspire brides from here to timbucktu.
As a little reminder, here is the winning board that Helena, on of our Style Circle brides, designed…

I am so happy that I got to see this as I am leaving for our shoot today. This is gorgeous! It is inspiring to say the least! Such a fresh look. Love the bqt wrap. Everything is stunning. Great job!
So stunning, and very dramatic! My favorite touch is most definitely the modern-glam display of gold-framed photos flanked by black manzanita branches. And the Aruna B. captured the stunning images to perfection. Kudos to all!
THIS IS INSANE!!! Literally cannot believe my eyes. So modern, so stylish. Really amazing job you guys. So much incredible (and very do-able) inspiration.
