Behind the Scenes

We threw this photo shoot together pretty fast, and the sun was setting so we really hurried.  I grabbed some "snow" from Michaels to try and get that winter effect and Naphtali stood on the table throwing snow at Rachel.  Next time we'll plan a little more, but we still had a fun time!

I also found these little frame charms at Michaels and put my Grandma's picture in there.

And we did eat the cake - but not like that.  It was just a funfetti cake mix, but I love love them!!  Those little letters are from Michaels too.

My cute little niece did not feel like having her picture taken.

Winter Bouquet Shoot

Christmas Bouquet

I opted to do a hand wired bridal bouquet as my final project for design school.  (I was really hoping there would be snow on the ground for the pictures but, even though it was cold enough for snow, there wasn't any. C'est la vie.) To add some glamour and shine I criss-crossed wire over the tops.  The bouquet featured ranunculus, lisianthus, hypercium, oregonoia, freesia, and feathers.  I've got some more pictures from our little photo shoot that I'll post tomorrow.  (Thanks to my sister-in-law, Naphtali, for styling help and my friend, Rachel, for modeling!)

Sneak Peek: Walser Wedding

Here's a few shots from the Walser wedding!  Jen wanted to keep things very simple and hi-light some fall tones with mainly roses.  Her husband has done a lot of missionary work in the Middle East so they incorporated a lot of that into their wedding with the linens, food, and colors.  To tie things together I spray painted all the vases gold and silver (using Rustoleum Metallic finish) and used some exotic flowers for the reception.  It was really fun to work with such rich tones and to get to use some unique flowers like kangaroo paw, pincushion protea, and ginger!  

I didn't get any great shots of the reception stuff (there's one below) but I'll pass on the professional shots when I get them!  Here's the inspiration board.
