Boise Wedding Inspiration from Soiree + Tana Photography
When Boise’s Tana Photography and Soiree‘s names pop up in my email, I do a little happy dance. That combination always is hand in hand with absolute killer wedding inspiration. Seriously, who else can whip up a romantic inspiration shoot and call it both contemporary and whimsical – and make it work? These fantastic ladies put together a bit of inspiration filled with cotton candy, two to-die-for dresses, mercury glass, and, the way to this girls heart, stripes galore. It’s the perfect equation. Brides and Grooms to be – this is for you. So many different flavors of wedding inspiration hitting your computer screen today. Click here for more!
From Brandi of Soiree … For this shoot we really wanted to play on the colors of spring and marry whimsy with contemporary elements. We loved the idea of using peach, shades of pinks, and a soft blue for a romantic, airy feel, while the cobalt blue added a bold pop of color for a modern touch.
The shoot was held in a beautiful white sunroom in a house on Boise’s historic Warm Springs Avenue. The subtle blue stripes on the walls and white painted floors were the first inspiration for the color scheme. We wanted to make sure the color palette and the design didn’t compete with the surroundings.
Everything needed to be light and airy, and the bride’s dress emulated this in every way. Bridal Couture provided the gown; a Jasmine Couture beauty complete with layers of tulle and taffeta and stylish feather flowers all over for a big statement. The dress was the perfect mixture of whimsy and high fashion.
The bride’s hair, styled by Camilla Orosco, was a messy, romantic up-do with a signature blue feather flower, while her makeup by Jamie Verner was romantic and soft. We paired dramatic jewelry and gorgeous shoes provided by Boise’s Piece Unique to finish the contemporary look.
The first step in designing the tables was to choose the linens. Cloth Connection out of New York had the perfect variety of the textured and whimsical styles we were after: a sea breeze crinkle taffeta paired with peach satin napkins for the dinner table, peach floral tinsel for the sweetheart table, and a cobalt blue crinkle taffeta linen for the dessert table.
From there we paired mercury, glass, and mossy elements with beautiful centerpieces by Botanica to run the length of the dinner table; natural chiavari chairs and silver chargers by Brown Party Rental were the perfect finishing touch. All of the stationery and place cards, designed by Ampersand Studios, were inspired by the blue stripes on the wall in the sunroom and also served as the tiny pop of cobalt we needed on the table.
The dessert table was one of our favorite aspects of the shoot; we really wanted this to be whimsical and pulled inspiration from our favorite carnival and circus foods- popcorn and cotton candy. The risers for the cotton candy and cake, which are actually hat box lids, and popcorn boxes were all covered in moss, and we brought the glass elements into this table with more mercury cups and a glass cake stand. The cake by Greg Marsh was gorgeous and the big cobalt flower and texture fit in with the theme perfectly.
Finally, the sweetheart table was outfitted in the stylish floral linen, and we changed the bride into a flirty peach-hued floral dress. We love the trend of an outfit change for the bride, and had this been a real wedding we think it would be the perfect dress to drive off into the sunset with her groom.
This photo shoot was an amazing adventure and we can’t thank all of the vendors enough that worked together to pull it off!

Beautiful work by everyone involved! Great job, what lovely inspiration.
That stationery isn't half bad either. ;-)
How beautiful. Great job my the makeup artist. I love her necklace and hair accessory!
VERY Sweet and Thoughtful. Georgeous long-legged bride, but I think it's a style and color combo that would work for many couples.
These photos are absolutely fantastic! I love the one with the bride's feet propped up on a table! She's relaxing!
Love this! I love the popcorn boxes so cute!
Simply wonderful!
I am in love with every bit of this shoot - congrats to Brandi and everyone involved - what a gorgeous job!
Thank you for all of the comments. : ) It was a fun day doing this shoot, pulling some of our favorite wedding looks together. My loves are those shoes, the cotton candy, the sweet bride and the feather in her hair.
I love the navy with pink! Gorgeous makeup too.
Design is one of the hardest task in planning a wedding, a lot of great design source can be found online now and one of those is this blog.
that jacket is to die for! where is it from?
Hi Kailey, I'm checking on the jacket for you. Isn't it gorgeous?
One of my favorite inspiration shoots so far. This is something brides can re-create!! It's simple and oh so beautiful. I love all of the touches with moss!! Thank you for sharing!
LOVE that turquoise necklace! What a statement piece.
Thanks everyone! We had a blast putting it all together.
Kalley: The jacket is from Anthropologie!
Love! Love! Love! Everything! Great job Tana! Bride is beautiful! Girls and I love her dress and the pic where she has her legs up on the table! Great job!
It was amazing to be a part of this shoot. I was honored to contribute some styling and the hair to this beautiful collaboration. Thank you Brandi and Tana!!
I LOVE this wedding dress, I've seen it on the internet and in person though and the sash is always purple, was this dress ordered with a white sash and flower from the designer or was it altered by a seamstress to be that way?
Hi Jen! Isn't that dress fab? I'm checking with Tana Photography & Soiree about the sash. I'll let you know what I hear!
Hi Jen: Thank you for the question- we LOVED this dress too! The Idaho shop, Bridal Couture, said that the dress came to them with the white sash. They hadn't seen a colored version before. So, if you love the white...sounds like it's available from the maker, Jasmine Couture!
Thanks Tana!
Where is the turquoise necklace from?! I love it!!
Hi Ashley! I'm checking with Tana Photographer on that necklace for you.
Hi Ashley: Brandi from Soiree saw that necklace at Forever 21 early last spring and had to have it! She loved the color too. Thank you for the question!
