From Inspiration to Reality: The Design

March 5th. 2010 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 22 comments

Okay, girls (and boys). The wait is over. This is possibly THE MOST perfect photoshoot I have ever seen and knowing that it all came from Annie’s adorable inspiration board is too much. Huge props go to the team behind the adorableness including the fabulous Red Ribbon Studio, the forever chic Paperista and the perfectly lovely Just Bloomed (along with a full list of awesome vendors below)…I am officially blown away. And giddy as a school girl.

It was a cold January day in Minnesota when we saw this bright, colorful, fun and whimsical inspiration board by Annie Packman. We knew that bringing this inspiration board to life would bring a little sunshine into our snowy Minnesota winter. This board was so inspiring, we really ran with the whimsical and fun style. The setting for our shoot was the sweetest little candy shop in Minneapolis called Sugar Sugar. Thanks to owner Joni Wheeler for allowing us to take over her shop on her day off to bring this fun idea to life!

  11. Swoon!!! This is quite possibly the best way to start a Friday EV-ER!!! I don't even know where to begin, I'm seriously on smitten overload! :O) What a truly spectacular shoot, everything from the colorful candy display to the bold turquoise tie, and all the way down to the ribbon wands is well thought out and each vendors true passion for what they do is on display for all to see. Definitely an inspiration to reality hall of fame winner in my book!

    while those flowers shown look silk because they are so vivid... they are real!... very unconventional choice for a wedding flower, but we love it!

  13. Erin Walsh says:

    These colors are on fire! I can't stop starring at my screen - the palette and textures are so luscious - they vibrate!! Never seen such perfection - ever!

  14. I was the bride in this photoshoot and it was SO MUCH FUN to be a part of!!! The vendors involved are truly amazing, nice, professional, etc! They really did a beautiful job putting all the details together.

    If anyone is interested in recreating the flags, the fabric came from this fabulous etsy vendor: http://www.etsy.com/shop/fabricshoppe?order=&section_id=&page=1
