Tailgate-Inspired Reception Photo Shoot
In a time when wedding TV shows choose to feature over-the-top displays of opulence or stressed-out, screaming brides it is refreshing to see a little inspiration for the laid-back, unfussy couple. Adrianne Smith Floral and Delphine came up with the perfectly adorable reception idea of a tailgate party with a twist. This playful pair incorporated bright colors, fun games, and loads of vintage details. And how rad is that old school truck? Can’t you just picture the cake or bar being set up in the bed of a sweet, vintage ride? This shoot could definitely be turned into an easygoing and super fun reception. Sit back, relax and feast your eyes on even more inspiration in the full gallery. xoxo, Emilia Jane

From Erika Firm of Delphine -
“The inspiration for this backyard tailgate lawn party reception can be traced back to a chat Adrianne and I had about my graduate school days at The University of Georgia. Adrianne (a Southern Californian through and through) and I (I’ve lived just about everywhere) were comparing notes about how our different backgrounds influenced our personal styles (we’re both totally laid back, but in different ways). We wondered aloud how both of our laid back perspectives would translate into a wedding, and together we designed a super fun tailgate party reception. No fancy stemware, no pouffy dresses, no cheesy decorations … just steel buckets full of drinks, fun games to play, lots of homemade treats, and friends galore.

These are so gorgeous! Love all the vibrant reds - and the Dahlias! Incredible work. :)
Great shoot! Love all the colours!!
Truely Lovely, Can you tell us the make of the fab short lace dress?
Yep, nothing says "unfussy" like a wedding vignette with a pogo stick and an etch-a-sketch.
I'm in love! This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!
Yes, the dress! Who makes that adorable short lace dress? That would be perfect for my engagement shoot.
I LOVE the pink striped favor bags, where are those from?? I went on the website suggested, but they only seem to have white favor bags.
wow! it's a wonderful mix of hip, cool and funky...with sweet, romantic and charming! love the ideas and love the color. so fab.
I was wondering where those cute placemats were from?
Super effort !
Love the results !
I love the idea of a "score card" for games.... and the matching stir sticks are darling!
Love all the fine details and bright color; the dress, the shoes, the pink vs. the black steel of the pickup, typewriter and shelves. Fun idea!
This is wonderful! Beautiful photos and setup!
Beautiful!!! I love the colors!! (and that truck...so cool!!!!)
Absolutely one of the most amazing color schemes ever for any occasion. I absolutely adore pinks and reds together. So many great ideas!
The lace dress is vintage, but could easily be remade.
*Stacey- I could turn you on to a amazing seamstress + pattern maker if you want to have one made for your engagement photo shoot. Just let me know. :)
Wow. At first this looks like a gorgeous shot of a florist working by the side of the road. The pop of color, the pickup and of course the flowers. And then you start to look at the detail and I am so impressed with it all. It's beautiful and stands out in such a casual way.
Thanks for all your kind comments, everyone.
The pink and white favor bags I picked up at a tag sale, but we do offer custom printed white ones at Delphine: http://delphinepress.com/p-3515-favor-bags.html
As for place mats, Rachel, all of the linens are vintage, from my personal collection. So I'm sorry I can't help you track them down. You might try EBay ; )
Thanks again everyone for your comments. xo- Erika
