We were indeed swept away by the tender love created by the ambience from this fall vineyard shoot. After just a look through these stunning images produced by Lauren Fair Photography, how could you blame us? As a nod to sweet housewarming traditions, Amorology uniquely incorporated brooms into her design, while Nectar + Bloom created wow-worthy arrangements of neutral hues to complement the French architecture of the luxurious Sunstone Villa. The beauty of this inspirational shoot is truly blinding! Check out all of the inspiring details at the full gallery — and let me tell you, it’s unlike anything we’ve laid eyes on!
From Amorology… Inspired and rooted in traditions of housewarming gifts given to a new couple, we created a “Swept Away” shoot taking place at Sunstone Winery with soft European touches. Our desire for the shoot was to embrace traditions that have gone before, especially those of housewarming gifts that are given to couples as they begin their own homes. Some of those elements included: bread so that they may never know hunger, honey, so you may always know the sweetness of love, candles that their home may always have light and salt that their life may have flavor among others! And of course, brooms that they may always sweep away their sorrows,
The ceremony structure was inspired by the concept of brooms and how they beautifully elude to taking care of your home and the clouds of gypsophila that Nectar and Bloom added to the arch delicately and romantically hinted toward the dust being swept away. The custom-built wood boxes were filled with warm dried elements and feathery pampas grass to again give a nod to the brooms while wishbone chairs offered another collective grouping of wishes to the couple.
The table was laid with a swiss dot overlay that played to the bride’s gown and was adorned with some of the housewarming elements of bread, candles, and warm tones of florals. Each setting was set with woven chargers and chairs and a thoughtfully placed small whisk broom that held each guest’s name at the table.
