In case you missed it, our styled shoot that we’ve been keeping under wraps was finally published last week in ! 🎉 We don’t do styled shoots very often, but when the stars align, we love being part of something truly magical. ✨

vision for this shoot was pure magic, and we were thrilled to bring it to life with an abundance of flowers in a breathtaking color palette. We had so much fun experimenting with color-blocking (a trend we’re really excited about—engaged couples, this one’s for you! 😉).

We looove a floral installation moment, and this entire shoot felt like a flower bomb in the Walled Garden—flowers surrounding the gorgeous rentals that lined the aisle, cascading down the fountain, and even spilling from the walls. One of the highlights for us was transforming a massive urn from a statement piece into a show-stopping centerpiece—a story we’ll save for another day!

Of course, none of this magic would’ve been possible without the incredible team of vendors who brought every detail to life. From vision to ex*****on, everyone’s hard work and creativity made this day unforgettable!!!

We can’t wait to share more behind-the-scenes moments—like how our studio was overflowing with flowers the week of, and how we pulled off all this designing on a 90-degree day in May! Stay tuned for all the gorgeous images and more about the process! 🌿🌸
