From Inspiration to Reality – The Design
We are back with our favorite part of the From Inspiration to Reality series…the gorgeous photographs that are bursting with so many perfect details. This Michigan team, led by Lucia|Paul Design with photography by Jess + Nate Studios, wanted to create a shoot that is equal parts glamorous and gorgeous while staying true to what a real wedding would entail. We happen to be completely enamored with the result and totally crushing on that fantastic bridal hat. Take a look at how this team of rockstars interpreted the Tiffany blue hued inspiration board.

Inspiration take from Lucia|Paul Design:
The approach we took to our Inspiration to Reality photo shoot was a little different than most. Our Photographers, the amazing Jessica and Nate Johnston of Jessica Johnston Photography were in charge of finding our models, Caleb and Laura. The beautiful couple was a photographer’s and videographer’s dream; not only were the comfortable in front of the camera, they just so happened to be the most adorable husband and wife couple and exuded fantastic chemistry. As we had the opportunity to learn more about the couple and who they were, we discovered that they didn’t have photos (or at least ones that they loved) or a video from their actual wedding day. A light bulb went off…lets do a shoot to give them (our real couple) something that they would love and always remember. Needless to say, the shoot turned into more than just a way for all of our amazing team of vendors to show off their best work but to also give Caleb and Laura something that they would be excited about and could treasure forever
Our inspiration for the design was a modern take on the traditional. We wanted to get away from uber-styled photo shoots that have been popping up all over the web. While they are all so gorgeous and lovely (we really, really do love them), we wanted to create something that was a little more like a real wedding day, but that would still inspire engaged couples with creative design. We tried to stick to using items in the shoot that are accessible to everyone…. while still making it ultra glam and gorgeous.
From Jess + Nate Studios Photography:
Our approach to this inspiration shoot was the same as we would approach any wedding we are commissioned to photograph-which is to be able to blend our cinematic style of photography while still also showing off all the wonderful details that make a bride’s wedding unique and special. The beauty in a photoshoot like this was the lack of any real wedding day timeline and the ability to create something totally custom. Of course working with the best vendors in Detroit doesn’t hurt either! We adore the final result and think Laura + Caleb will be pretty pleased with their new “wedding photos”!
We will be back in a bit with more from this gorgeous shoot. Sit tight!

OHMYGOSH. I don't think I could be any more obsessed with this! Those hanging, white rose bouquets? That spectacular chandelier? Are you kidding me?! This is definitely one of my favorite FITR's I've seen so far. I'm completely and utterly in lurrvveee.
WOWWWWWW!!!!!!! So beautiful! I love the tables! Everything about them.
such an elegant wedding, its gorgeous! love your invites
Beautiful!! And what a wonderful story! Elegance, ladies.
Ok, the headpiece and the photographs were she is in the bathroom (?) and the other of them under the canopy...WOW- amazing! This is such a gorgeous stylish wedding. Our wedding colours were deep emerald turquoise and champagne gold, so I could relate with this wedding. Love it!
The images, the setting, the decor... all so splendid. Love the head piece and the colors!
Love the color scheme that you guys used and especially love the last picture, I'm a sucker for great photography

I was distracted by the word usage in the first paragraph. "in-tale"? The word is "entail".
Wow, such gorgeous work by all, from the planning to the photography and the composition of it all, gorgeous and uber inspiring!!!
What an amazzing Photo shoot!!
I am in loooove with the dresses ,
where can i get them ?
Thank you all so very much for your kind words and comments!
Giuliana - You can get the dresses directly from Katerina Bocci. Her website is http://www.katerinabocci.com/ which has all of her contact information on there and you can see what retailers carry her line! She is fabulous and has the most stunning designs.
I love the details in this shoot! The florals are so crisp and elegant!
So I absolutely love this photo shoot, I think it's beautiful... but I don't really see the inspiration board in the shoot to be honest. The colors and the whole feel are really much darker than the inspiration board which is light, fresh, and springy. I was really excited to see the "reality" after seeing the inspiration board but it seems somewhat mismatched to me.
Wow...can't pick my favorite. I love the color blue that has been chosen and the hanging floral balls. Sorry but that headpiece is not my style but it looks good on her.
