Urban Rustic-Chic Photo Shoot by Enchanted Dream Weddings & Affairs
Perhaps it’s because I’m a new, very hungry vegan and all this cheese looks delicious. Or perhaps it’s because the styling by Enchanted Dream Weddings and Affairs is ah-maz-ing. But whatever the reason, all I know is that I want to jump into my computer screen and LIVE in this photo shoot! I can see myself now, sitting at that fabulous reclaimed table, drinking the velvety red wine, and eating hunks upon hunks of cheese til my little heart’s content. But really…seriously…how divine is this? It’s French bistro chic at its best and there’s so many more delectable photos to devour in the gallery!

From Naomi with Enchanted Dream Weddings & Affairs: A chic bistro setting with rustic garden-like elements was the inspiration envisioned for this photo shoot. I pictured a beautiful rustic table filled with earthy culinary delights like cheeses from different countries, rustic artisan breads, fruits, olives, and of course wine. Not only would this delicious fare be a key part of the tablescape, it would also serve as a culinary delight to be shared and enjoyed by all seated. Our canvas was a large rustic table that begged to be worked with. White everyday dishes were used at each place setting to add a touch of “bistro” to the tablescape. The rustic flatware against the white dinnerware made a perfect and unexpected union. Each dinner plate was wrapped with a black ribbon to complement the striking black eyes of the anemones used for the table centerpiece. A soup bowl containing a slice of French bread, an anjou pear, and cheese, wrapped in cheesecloth, was tied with a black ribbon and placed on the dinner plate. Desert utensils were kept within reach in mini terracotta pots. Fresh herbs, mushrooms, vegetables, nuts, and golden honeycomb added color and texture to the table scape. For the seating, we opted to use brushed metal and silver stools of three different designs to add a modern bistro feel to the table. The berry topped four-layer cake was left unfrosted to complement the subtle rustic elements incorporated in the overall design.
Simple yet stylish, was the key factor in pulling together the rustic yet bistro chic theme with flowers and herbs. White ranunculus, used in abundance, was placed next to a pot of beautiful spring anemones. Varying sizes of rosemary topiaries complemented the culinary fare and added height to the continuous and flowing centerpiece. Oversized terracotta pots of majestic hybrid delphiniums were placed at floor level to frame the area. The bridal bouquet was designed with fragrant white lilacs, nerine lilies intermingled with scabiosa pods, and fun viburnum clusters. The stems were tied with jute twine, to complement the groom’s elegant scabiosa pod boutonniere.
For a modern and minimalist approach to this bistro chic stationery Alchemy Fine Events & Invitations designed an invitation suite with a hand dip-dyed edge and matching cheesecloth fabric band. Thick textured envelopes were lined with inky black satin textured liners for an opulent surprise when the invitations were opened. Individual die cut seating cards were placed on mini-rosemary bushes for a fragrant way to help guests find their tables and the conspicuously placed place cards were tucked inside of mini-cloches at each guest’s place setting for a fun and whimsical treat.

I feel your pain. I'm not eating cheese right now either and all this cheese reminds me of my time in France where every meal was purchased from a street side fromagerie. Oh how I miss that!
The images are beautiful though and I love fresh herb trees.
This is such a lovely shoot - I love every part of it, especially the herbs. It's French bistro chic to perfection.
absolutely gorgeous!
So stunning! I too want to live in this entire shoot! Naomi has exquisite taste and style, and I couldn't be happier for her to be featured on SMP! Way to go Naomi!

Wow, I adore every last bit of this, and definitely wish my dining room table looked like that! Congrats to Naomi and all the vendors on a job well done!
Beautiful--elegant and earthy at the same time...
That would be my dream! to either have, plan or attend a wine and cheese wedding. **sigh**
The images were absolutely stunning and seemed like they were jumping off the page and the attention to detail was amazing. I felt like I was on a mini vacation for a second. Great job Naomi!
this is unbelievable! the herbs, the cards, the warmth--everything is perfect! well done!
What a beautiful shoot! I love everything about this! The table setting is all kinds of pretty. In a very warm and rich sort of way. Great texture too! A lovely visual dance. I heart the way that the rustic wooden table is paired with more industrial looking metal chairs. Very unexpected and eye catching. Oh, and the use of food + wine is spot on! Kind of reminds me of a Pottery Barn Catalog. Make me want to grab a seat and stay a while! xo, chrissy from The Perfect Palette.

Dr. Cow and Daiya vegan cheeses will get you through the transition into veganism... also, for some reason avocado (with smoked salt!) on a sandwich hits the "creamy" note I miss sometimes. :)
