The shoot took place in the beautiful Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in Hartford, so I took some inspiration from our surroundings. I wanted the flowers to play a role in everything! Our table was draped in pink, everything from the linens, chargers, and napkins right down to the chairs-it was a girly girl’s dream. Tony from Datura, A Modern Garden created a yellow rose runner down the table with pops of pink peonies. Hope from A Little Imagination Cakes not only designed individual cupcakes with colorful florets, she coupled them with an incredible pink and yellow-layered cake! Beth styled the models in fun sherbet colored dresses that played perfectly off the surrounding flowers. Throw in the charming paper details from Metal Mermaid Press and Carla Ten Eyck Photography and you have the day made!

Our inspiration for this fashion shoot came from the luxury properties available at Stay in Costa Rica. Beth Chapman, stylist and owner of The White Dress by the shore wanted to create a luxurious, dramatic and romantic look for brides having a destination wedding. The natural landscape of Costa Rica and Los Suenos resort provided us with the majority of the flowers used in the bouquets, designed by Datura: A Modern Garden. Our fashion shoot mixes both a tropical feel and a modern, sophisticated and decadent direction.

The gowns and accessories were shot in the most amazing locations– from the multi-million dollar spanish influenced home of Puesta Del Sol with breathtaking views of the rainforest and three different pays that surround Los Suenos Resort to the modern and swanky digs at Villa Artiv with it’s vintage Louis Vuitton trunk and Pucci chair. All three of these luxurious properties are available for not only accommodations, but also for amazing wedding receptions and ceremonies!

A special shout out to my girl, Carla Ten Eyck, who is by far filled with the most talent I have ever seen. I am not even sure how she is able to make everything and everyone so beautiful, but by God, she does it every time!!!

Thank you to our friends at Junebug Weddings for featuring our fashion shoot– go check out the post here!

This past fall we had the fun opportunity to co-create and design a fun, summer editorial shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine. Having just come off our fashion obsession of nautical glam, we worked with our creative counterparts to design this fun, preppy, and dressed up version of nautical on the Connecticut shoreline! We worked in your traditional seaside color story– blues, reds and yellows– with a bit of sparkle, lots of stripes and a little kate spade. What I’m also excited about is half my summer accessories got incorporated into this gorgeousness! A huge thank you to our talented team who made the day so fun: Carla Ten Eyck, Beth Chapman, Datura: A Modern Garden, Dana Bartone & Company, A Little Imagination Cakes, Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design, and a HUGE thank you to our dear friend Rachel Edwards at Dreamscapes Design Group for not being just lovely and wonderful, but such a gracious hostess for the day!! An additional thank you to Alison Fischer of The Plumed Serpent in Westport for also participating in this shoot and lending her gorgeous gowns!

I just love this first look– colored shoes, colored jewels, those lockets (! which we all immediately purchased on the spot from Aquinnah and all now proudly own, and hope to not wear all at the same time, accidentally), striped puffy sleeved top, sparkly anchor bag…. love it all! The paper suite that Nichole from Coral Pheasant put together was spectacular. Sign. Me. Up. It was so well executed with so many fun little surprises– which I feel like is her signature.

From the gorgeous Ivy & Aster gowns (and can we discuss that blush lace bolero?!) to the detailed and sweet paper from Coral Pheasant, this shoot has all the makings of what I love most! With a pink and gold color story, we brought in a lot of unique textures and shot this in a very raw construction space in downtown Hartford. In fact, it just so happens to be the first space our little creative team ever collaborated in (and was also on the first cover of Bliss Celebrations..!). I absolutely love Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden’s “classic” floral design. He made a container for our centerpiece out of boxwood (brilliant) and even created a mask bouquet for one of our models. Can you not see yourself toting a floral mask to your next party? I also love the boxwood trim that edged our gorgeous tablescape, which was overflowing with the prettiest cakes and macaroon tower from Confectionery Designs. The wide banded gold rimmed goblets to the individual raspberry trifles made for the most perfect setting. A special thank you to the amazing Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore who was our fashion stylist / director on this shoot and DD Nickel who is the artist behind the gorgeous beauty!

I want to extend a huge, opened arm hug to all our amazing vendors who prove time and time again that they are the best of the BEST! Be sure to pick up your copy of Bliss Celebrations Guide to see the images they chose from this shoot and head over to our galleries to see more!

Some of my favorite details from this shoot include the customized menus made out of gorgeous satin ribbon with gold foil engraving, the ghost chairs we designed with Datura: A Modern Garden that included inset calligraphy as a place card and boxwood trimming on the chair backs, the classic half wedge of pineapple that guests truly dinned at at Jackie and John’s wedding, the customized blue taffeta skirt and white collared shirt by Coren Moore (Beth’s vision that was designed especially for our shoot), the classic hair and makeup by Dana Bartone, and of course, my own personal Louie Vuitton suitcase as part of the going away look!

Be sure to look for the newest issue of The Connecticut Bride Magazine, on newsstands the first of the year to see the newest photoshoot we were delighted to create! A huge thank you to Carla Ten Eyck who is responsible for the gorgeous images below,
Vintage Cinema for the behind-the-scenes video, Beth Chapman and her team at The White Dress by the shore for the fashion and styling, Dana Bartone & Company for their two days of tireless beauty, Tony Palmieri and his team of assistants at Datura: A Modern Garden for creating our floral art, and Modern Trousseau for being the muse of our shoot!

Our first look was shot in front of the Old State House on Main Street in Hartford and inside the Gershon Fox Room, featuring Modern Trousseau’s Pearl Gown from their Fall 2011 collection, white leather gloves by Carolina Amato, jewels by Haute Bride including square stud earrings, diamond cuff and tiara, necklace by DK Designs and vintage black 1936 Buick by Carriage Limo. Datura: A Modern Garden decorated our vintage car and created the stunning white bouquet.

Our second look featured Gown the Savannah gown by Modern Trousseau as part of their Fall 2011 collection with black satin gloves from Carolina Amato. Earrings are by Tejani, diamond cuffs by Haute Bride, large cocktail ring from Kate Spade New York, and black tulle headpiece by Satya Twena. We shot in front of the historic vault at The Society Room, a bank turned wedding venue on Pratt Street in Hartford. The colorful bouquet and floral decor was created by Datura: A Modern Garden.

One look that didn’t make the magazine was The Kennedy Gown by Modern Trousseau for their Fall 2011 collection, which inspired our third look at The Old State House on Main Street in Hartford. I absolutely adore this space– with it’s high ceilings, white wooden walls and oversized gold chandelier. The back jewels of the gown are by aquinnah jewelry with earrings by Haute Bride. Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden created a bouquet inspired by the Royal Wedding.

The fourth look is Modern Trousseau’s Larissa Gown for their Fall 2011 collection. Our bride also wore a fox trimmed fur jacket, also by Modern Trousseau with earrings by Haute Bride, bouquet from Datura: A Modern Garden, and brooch from The White Dress by the shore.

Our fifth look has to be my favorite. When we got word we could shoot inside Hartford City Hall I knew I wanted to do a throw back, city hall style wedding. Modern Trousseau’s short lace Daphne dress proved to be the perfect dress for this sexy and sweet look. Our pillbox cap with cage veil and feather details is from the millner Bijou Van Ness with pearl earring from The White Dress by the shore. I absolutely LOVE the nude shoes from Badgley Mischka and the simple bouquet from Datura: A Modern Garden. Our groom’s attire is from the impeccable male clothiers at Valentino Tailors.

Our sixth look was at the historic Mark Twain House– whose history you simply must read! It’s an incredible Hartford landmark and one our state is so proud to have. A 20′s feel was the fashion direction that Beth Chapman chose for this look, inspired by the gorgeous feather trimmed cloche from Bijou Van Ness. Our bride wore long satin ivory gloves by Carolina Amato, Modern Trousseau’s Faye gown with a feather brooched belt and earring from from Haute Bride. The stunning round bouquet is by Datura: A Modern Garden.

Our final look couldn’t have been timed more perfectly for the blooming trees of Elizabeth Park, Connecticut’s famous 100 year old rose garden in Hartford. Elizabeth Park is such a magical place, especially during the spring and summer months. The dogwood and lilac trees couldn’t have been more of a perfect backdrop to the gorgeous Piper gown from Modern Trousseau’s Fall 2011 line. I absolutely love the colorful necklace from Haute Bride and sheer white wrist length gloves from Carolina Amato. Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden created all the unique floral decor, including the peony bouquet, floral ring bearer bowl, floral parasol and the GORGEOUS floral and greenery garland modeled by our bride!

A huge thank you to The Connecticut Bride Magazine for featuring this amazing editorial photoshoot and to our talented team of vendors, below! Also be sure to check out the gorgeous video of this shoot, produced by Jim Altieri of Vintage Cinema. Xx

This shoot was initially inspired by an anthropologie catalog I received a few months prior to our shoot. We went with a bohemian 70′s vibe and found the perfect location at the base of a mountain leading up to Pura Vida Gardens. The day started at a local surf shop where Alejandro works in the town of Jaco. More about this shoot can be found in our new e-zine, A Jubilee Event. Make sure you subscribe to see more images of this shoot– along with a lot more content for planning your next event! Be sure to view the video by Buzz Media which really captures the essence of the last shots on this day on top of the mountain. xx!

From the Designers

Our inspiration for the shoot came from our real life couple Michelle and Alejandro, who are avid surfers. Costa Rica is known for some of the best surfing in the world and with this shoot, we really wanted to highlight that! We also wanted to do something casual, relaxed, and beach side that captured the easy going and romantic nature of our couple. A lot of what we pulled together was simply based on inspiration when we went to set up that day. Finding that instinct and intuition of the natural landscape really influenced our design. In our tablescape, my favorite spontaneous elements are the centerpiece of braided fronds, which was the brilliant idea of our floral designer. I also love the paper chargers created by Posh Paperie, that we intermixed with real leaf detailing on the tiffany blue napkins. The hair and fashion was inspired by runway and an anthropolgie catalog we received a few weeks prior. Overall it’s colorful, light, carefree, and playful, much like the beautiful country of Costa Rica. — Candice Coppola, Jubilee Events

The opportunity to work in Costa Rica was a dream come true! The lush jungles, stunning beaches and rich culture inspired me to keep the attire very natural. The accessories that we used were made from wood and shell. We brought in a small touch of sparkle, because every bride needs some! The bridal gown by was by designer Augusta Jones. I selected it because it had a very organic feel to it. The silk chiffon fabric was perfect for the beach setting and the touch of metallic embroidery at the neckline had an ethnic feel that made it perfect for Costa Rica. The bride’s jewelry and headband selected for the shoot were by Maria Elena. Both contained accents of mother of pearl.The bridesmaid was outfitted in a satin yoryu dress by Vineyard Collection. I loved the vibrancy of the color of the dress, but also the amazing flow that the fabric had. We accessorized the dress with wooden bangles from ben amun to bring in a natural element.–From Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore

This trip to Costa Rica was so inspirational in too many ways to list! The hair and makeup was inspired by a combination of the relaxed beach environment, the casualness of the couple, and the gorgeous styling of the event and the bride. It’s so important as a hair and makeup artist to understand the full vision of an event, so you can create the perfect finishing touches! Beachy, unconstructed waves for the hair really reflected the personality of the day and flowers tucked in the hair made the perfect accessory. For makeup, rich, vibrant color was the only way to go! Costa Rica is such a colorful place! I highlighted the eyes with bold shades of violet and teal and kept the lips soft in shades of pale coral and peach for balance.–From Deanna Nickel of DD Nickel Beauty

Before our actual shoot happened and was in motion I tried very hard not to have any preconceived ideas as to what I wanted to do or not do. I wanted to wait and see where we ended up- be it the rainforest or the black sand beaches of Playa Hermosa and let my surroundings inspire how I would photograph Michelle and Alejandro. Lucky for me these two were such naturals in front of my camera and so in love. For the most part I let that dictate a lot of the feel that I was going for in my images- and let the story line come naturally. We had a variety of weather that day,and I used it all to help set the tone but really and truly it was Michelle and Alejandro’s clear, obvious love that came through- whether we were shooting in the sun or the bone drenching rain!

My favorite image is from what we all thought would be the end of our shoot for the day- the skies had opened up and everyone scurried about packing the vans, stowing the musicians and instruments- and Michelle and Alejandro had already fled to the top of the beach to leave. I stopped them and, well since they were already soaking wet? I just had them enjoy being with each other, all wet and in fancy clothes! Michelle’s makeup held up PERFECTLY- and everything just jumps out of the frame at you- their skin tones, the drops of water all over them, the way Alejandro’s white linen shirt just clings to him, it’s all natural, real and completely romantic!–From Carla Ten Eyck, photographer

So much of the landscape in Costa Rica is dense and lush with saturated tropical colors and thick, waxy flowers. This beach was the antithesis of that, breezy and simplistic. I knew the florals needed to be a reflection of that. Most exciting to me was having the opportunity to work with new flowers, many that I’d seen only in photographs, still more that I couldn’t even identify! I chose to create bouquets that moved in the wind, a cascade for our bride and a fan bouquet for her maid. The inspiration for the floral jewelry came from the turquoise stones offset with shades of orange and yellow croton foliage and green shampoo ginger. Local fruits became the focus of the florals for our tablescape, melons and oranges simply accented with braided palm fronds. Fan palm provided just the right touch for the chair backs and gorgeous yellow and green flax foliage (clipped from the back yard of our posh accommodations!) accented the large driftwood pieces used to mark our ceremony. My favorite part of this shoot, as always, was the collaboration between the incredible group of artists and visionaries.–From Tony Palmieri of Datura: A Modern Garden

We absolutely loved being a part of this innovative & inspiring shoot, with such an amazingly talented group of people. Candice is really the one who came up with the inspiration board & colors that she wanted to incorporate. We took her initial storyboard and ran with it! We came up with a fun and funky pattern to use on several of the pieces, and designed an adorable “postcard style” save the date. The mustard yellow and moss green were a perfect combination for all of the paper goods, and the mix of a funky script with a block font made for a clean but fun look. To incorporate the “beachy” aspect, we pulled in shells filled with moss for the placecards to rest in. This was one of our favorite shoots ever to be a part of! Thanks to the amazing team who made it come to life.–From Elizabeth Seaton of Posh Paperie

More to come! xo

We were inspired by the classic, preppy and fun look of bow ties, seersucker and bright colors. Some highlights from this shoot are all the incredible corals and blue colors that Tony magnificently worked into the tablescape arrangements and bouquets. Seriously… are you kidding? The irises? Amazing! And the incredible paper that Nichole from Coral Pheasant created– folded menu cards with covers, customized favor / place card boxes with unique paper flowers on top, mini bow ties that decorated our champagne glasses… need I go on?!

We also scored an incredible pink vintage bike thanks to our friend Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore, who styled our models for the shoot from head to two. We LOVE this lace Modern Trousseau gown!

I just have to say, one more time, how grateful we are to the amazing and talented vendors who contributed so generously to our shoot. We love the way it turned out and are so excited to share!

As our shoot design progressed it sort of morphed into this obsession with taxidermy and a statement decor piece that we wanted to create. Between myself, Nichole of Coral Pheasant and the incredible Tony of Datura: A Modern Garden, we conceptualized this deer head escort card wall nearly 7 1/2 feet tall and completely covered in over 700 varieties of white and ivory roses (from the most wonderful rose grower, Passion Growers). Radic, right? To date, it is my absolute favorite thing we’ve EVER done at a photoshoot– and it almost didn’t happen! Believe it or not, white resin deer heads are hard to come by. After a fighting match with the folks at zgallerie who couldn’t express ship me my deer head in time (!) we scowered decor stores, online retailers, salvage stores… everything from this side of the Mississippi to procure a white resin deer head. We came up with nothing! Total failure. It was quite tragic… until… Tony came across a discarded taxidermy deer head form the day before our shoot with no ears or antlers. Score! And in true Datura: A Modern Garden fashion that deer head not only had the prettiest Styrofoam ears but also curly willow antlers and was painted a magnificent shade of white!

Some more incredible details from the shoot include the paper suite designed by Coral Pheasant, which included laser cut metal engraved invitations mounted to a python booklet. Whhaaat? Nichole also created laser engraved and hand painted gold / clear acrylic menu cards and escort cards, which was inspired by a decadent acrylic/ghost end table with exposed metal brackets found in elle decor. These are a MUST for us to reproduce at one of our events and is truly an incredible statement piece!

One thing I can’t get over is the insane centerpiece Tony and his team created using curly willow and hanging white curcumin suspended above one of our rentable vases. We used a luxurious linen from Wildflower Linens in a shimmering gold paillettes with gold “saturn” chargers at each place setting from Rentals Unlimited. Each place setting had a neatly folded white silk shantung napkin with an acrylic menu card with handmade paper garlands from Kristina Marie.

Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore was our talented fashion stylist and pulled together all the fashion and accessories for our model. She created three separate, modern looks using gowns from UK designer David Fielden, Amsale, and Coren Moore! And now the gorgeous images from the insanely creative Carla Ten Eyck… (be sure to read her blog post too!).

Thanks to such an incredible team for their love, laughs and creativity. We had so much fun on this warm July afternoon and can’t wait to do it again! Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Southern New England Weddings: Destinations to see all this goodness in print. Until next time… xo!

When you think of Midsummer Night’s Dream– aside from the storyline of love– Midsummer Night’s Dream has always been a visually stunning piece of work. Remember the 1999 film with Michelle Pheiffer and Kevin Kline? Romantic, whimsical, colorful, full of nature and flowers, weird, eccentric, fairytale-esque… we channeled all these things into our inspiration board and came up with a color palette of pinks and purples, with a lot of green and deep wood tones. Our tablescape was dripping with fresh moss on a vintage, hard carved, wooden table. We used moss as chair cushions– accented with colorful orchids. We hung old brass chandeliers above our table, where Tony created floral accents with hanging green amaranthus and orchids. Posh Paperie created garden menu cards with crepe paper flowers and butterfly place cards.

Tony and Cat from Datura: A Modern Garden created a variety of amazing bouquets– from simple and traditional hand tied flowers with ribbon tendrils, to a beautiful bird’s nest, floral balls, hanging floral lanterns, and a butterfly!

Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the shore styled all the beautiful and whimsical fashion and accessories, which ranged from light and airy dresses to big tulle ball skirts. I loved that the fashion was diverse and unique. It’s so fun to see a style interpreted in many different and appropriate ways!

Last fall, Connecticut Bride asked our creative group to design a fashion shoot for their magazine. We had been tossing around the idea of a Midsummer Nights Dream photoshoot for some time– and quickly decided that this would be the muse for our shoot! The challenge: how do you shoot at the end of October, outside, and make it look like summer? The answer: Carla Ten Eyck.

Our team came up with several different looks through out the day– pulled together by Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore and her team. Our first look was inspired by one of my favorite paintings, The Swing by Jean-Honore Fragonard. The infamy of this painting is the relationships between the characters. The man in front of the woman is having an affair with her, while the man lovingly pushing her is her husband.

We also designed an inspiration board for our shoot, which I’ll share in the next post!

As you may have noticed, our fabulous creative team and friends didn’t make it on 20/20. Major bummer! Thank you all so much for watching though– I can’t even begin to count how many texts, emails, phone calls, tweets and facebook messages we got!!!!

We did, however, receive great coverage locally on ABC’s WTNH. Not to mention we had a fabulous and fun party at The White Dress by the shore! You can revisit all the expert advice from our team by checking out the video on WTNH’s website. Now for some pretty images, courtsey of Carrie Roseman Photography. Thanks so much Carrie!

We also pulled together a gorgeous tablescape with linens by our fav– La Tavola Linen– in royal blues and sparkly gold.

Along with La Tavola, Datura: A Modern Garden created a beautiful floral centerpiece sitting on top of a venetian crystal candelabra. So gorgeous! Coral Pheasant Design + Stationary was resposible for our regally designed paper story– menu cards and place cards. I just love the formal calligraphy font Nichole used. We decorated the table with a beautiful royal blue pea de soie linen with matching gold napkins. A gilded gold charger with fine bone ivory china sat at each place setting. I really love the gorgeous gold flatware, too! Party Rental Ltd just released a new set of crystal stemmed glassware with gold rims. Perfect for our table!

We just loved everything about the Royal Wedding– from the beautiful guest fashion and hats, to the elegant and gorgeous sleeved gown that Kate wore (did Beth Chapman not make a solid prediction?!). I’m predicting some trends to arise from the royal wedding– afterall, Diana and Charles’ wedding set trends for nearly a decade– which is so impressive! I can think of few moments in history where a couple has been able to do that.

• We’re going to see more morning ceremonies and day time receptions. We’re really looking forward to this– and you can see have an evening cocktail party with your closest friends and family– which allows for a full day of celebrating!
• We’ve already seen this at market– but we are going to see more conservative gowns with sleeves or cap sleeves. I believe lace jackets / boleros will become even more popular. The strapless gown is going to take a back seat to these gorgeous gowns! Expect to see more tiaras on brides as well.
• The bohemian, vintage style casual wedding has been so popular. While I still predict it will be prevalent, it isn’t going to be at the forefront. We are going to go back to a more traditional, elegant styled wedding with rich colors (like blue, gold, silver, purple and red). You might be uninspired thinking about traditional styled weddings– but we’re going to see a renaissance of design– with modern interpretations.

Many more styles will emerge as the details of the day are revealed. And we can’t wait!

xo!

Our final destination took us to the beautiful country of Costa Rica– and we were inspired by the natural lush rain forest and fun, vibrant patterns. Costa Rica is an amazing country to have your destination wedding– rich in culture, nature, and the good life, Costa Rica has become one of my favorite places in the world. The air is clean, the water clear and the rain forests dense with colorful vegetation. Having been to Costa Rica twice last year, I was really inspired by the surrounding nature and Anthropologie’s newest catalog. Don’t they go hand-in-hand? The 70’s vibe is so stylin’ right now and I just love mixing patterns. I feel like sometimes people get nervous mixing patterns, and while you need to do it well in order for it to work, the end result has a major style impact! The best piece of advice in mixing patterns is to make sure one element is cohesive— color. If you can match tonality of color your patterns can range in whatever style and design you choose!

Now, onto Costa Rica!

{ photography by carla ten eyck }

Our inspiration board came to life with colorful patterns, lots of layers, vibrant foliage and floral design, and a nod to the Costa Rican coffee bean. The White Dress by the shore featured a beautiful tiered Amy Kuschel gown with a flattering silhouette, perfect for getting married on the beach or in the rain forest! Beth Chapman paired it with a dramatic layered green and gold necklace, designed by Kelley Marks for The White Dress.

Our square tablescape donned colorful patterned green linen from La Tavola Linen along with a blue tuscany runner. We used saffron napkins, folded at each place setting and topped with our coffee bean favor. Each burlap sack was wrapped in wooden rings with the guests name on them, created by Paloma’s Nest. It was one of my favorite details of the day! We chose a mother-of-pearl styled Velencia charger from Party Rental, simple toupe stoneware, and wooden handled flatware.

Datura: A Modern Garden created a dense bed of richly colored fruit– mango, papaya, kiwi and pineapple– with a sculptural centerpiece using green foliage, orchids and other vibrant accents. I absolutely love it! Having been with Tony to Costa Rica twice, this centerpiece is a true representation of what you could have for your tablescape. The beauty is these items are abundant, so inexpensive, and can be literally picked from the side of the road!

Coral Pheasant created a dynamic paper story, complete with rich floral patterns and a boxed invitation. The wedding program was hand sewn at the binding. Our friend and amazing colleague love*jenna created this beautiful leaf menu for us for an amazing shoot we did in Costa Rica– and it was the perfect compliment to our tablescape! Planning a wedding in Costa Rica? Look no further than Stay in Costa Rica– a company specializing in high end luxury homes available for rent on Los Suenos resort for your next event.

A HUGE thank you to all of our sponsors and amazing vendors who put together the most amazing event!

Pardon our brief interlude. If you’ve missed the first three posts in our series recapping the destination event, visit {one} {two} {three}.

Remember when Audrey Hepburn said Paris is always a good idea? That’s where our third destination took us! To the land of lights, gorgeous architecture, a romantic strolls along the Seine river, the croissant, cafe creme, onion soup (yum!), and eggs for dinner and the famous french dames such as Marie Antoinette, Coco Chanel and Brigitte Bardot. We were inspired but a muted palette of pink, green, gold and ivory. I’ve been dying to do something inspired by the ballet, too.

We brought in color through linens, flowers, paper and the amazing food display by Lovely Lollies– which was bursting with delicate sweet miniatures and one gorgeous cake. Coral Pheasant designed a perfectly feminine paper story in blush pinks and gold, using lots of tulle embellishments (like the tulle puffs in the champagne glasses and tulle edges on the menu cards). Nichole also designed the beautiful Bon Appetit banner behind Lovely Lollies’ dessert station! I was so excited to feature some of the most gorgeous linens by La Tavola Linen– including the amazing blush rose linen we used for the back drop of the dessert station. It is absolutely gorgeous in person– so romantic and feminine! Our tablescape had several linens incorporated, including a celadon satin linen which reminds me of those dainty Ladurée boxes– along with a very textured and tulle like champagne colored linen from their 2010 collection. Tony and Cat from Datura: A Modern Garden adorned our venetian crystal candelabra with jubilant ribbons and orchids. They also created two charming bouquets– one bursting with feminine ranunculous and the other inside a mother-of-pearl seashell. I loved this option for a mother-of-the-occasion as it quickly transformed from something you carry down the aisle to a side arrangement on a nearby table.

The White Dress by the shore chose a prim tea-length gown with a full tulle skirt and lace details at the bodice. So perfect, no? She was paired with a handsome fellow in a classic tux, fitted ever-so-perfectly by our friends at Valentino Tailors.

We hope you enjoyed your brief stop in The City of Love! Up next, the country where Pura Vida reigns supreme.. Costa Rica!

For our second destination wedding we stayed right here at home in New England! Inspired by the proper lady-like style and bold colors of kate spade, we set out to design a fun and sparkly party fit for a wedding, shower, or girls night in! To me, kate is infinitely preppy, feminine, classic and, to put it simply, perfect. What could be more New England than that? With her lady-like silhouettes, high heels, bright lipstick and baubles, kate spade embodies everything about my favorite New England fashion icon, Jackie Kennedy— who was the epitome of the classic look with a modern twist.

{ photography by carla ten eyck }

We were so inspired by the bright colors, simple patterns, chunky jewels, color blocking, a bit of sparkle and tailored fabrics. Some things we took literally from the inspiration– like the button candy escort cards oh so expertly designed by Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design. I loved the stripes in the models skirt, so we brought that in the linen on the table by using a wide stripe linen set on an angle. We paid attention to fabrics and textures too– especially the silk shantung that kate loves to use in her dresses and parlayed that into a pretty fuchsia napkin. In Coral Pheasants‘ paper story, Nichole was inspired by confetti and sparkle, attaching a little clear envelope to the invitation with some silver and pink confetti. So playful and pretty! Each place setting at a hot pink handmade crepe popper with confetti inside for celebration. We also used these AH-MAZING silver sequin chair backs from our friends at La Tavola Linen to carry through our sparkly confetti inspiration. We also chose a bright yellow charger at each place setting accompanied by my own personal kate spade china in black and white polka dot. The glassware I chose was super feminine and reminded me of the kate spade pattern Belle Boulevard.

Datura: A Modern Garden created blocks of color in the center of the table with shades of pink roses and daisies and yellow billy balls in glossy black square containers. Super tailored, colorful, and compartmentalized. Pretty! You’ll even notice some silver sparkling rocks used through out the arrangements, too. The arrangements were in varying heights and tightly arranged together, connected by some curvy curly willow. The bouquet was even color blocked with yellow daffodils, pink roses and a collar of greenery. A hint of sparkle from a vintage broach on the stems which were wrapped in black satin ribbon.The White Dress by the shore pulled together a super preppy look for their bridesmaid with a Coren Moore bridesmaid dress perfectly color blocked in shades of blue, yellow and white with a bright pink cardigan.

Big thanks to all the amazing vendors who contributed to this gorgeous destination. What’s up next? Why Paris, of course! xo!

Our first destination took us the the island of Capri where we created an inspiration board (above) rich in the colors of blue, yellow and green. We encouraged you to be inspired by this color palette along with diverse patterns, smooth finishes and rough textures. We also recommended finding inspiration in regional Almalfi Coast dishes, robust with fishes, lemon (!), handmade pasta, cheeses, and fresh local vegetables. And of course, wine! This was translated into the inspiration below…

Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore displayed two beautiful gowns as options for the bride– one inspired by the beautiful dress in our inspiration board with whimsical detailing on the shoulder, and another with interesting geometric details through out. The bridesmaid dress was a vibrant yellow paired with blue baubles. Valentino Tailors chose a classic grey suit with blue and yellow striped tie. Perfect!

We brought in the geometric patterns through linens, floral design, fashion and in our paper story. I love the rich textures we used throughout– natural linen, rich woods, gnarly twines and cheese cloth. Datura: A Modern Garden really blanaced the floral design by doing something completely different– using clear glass baubles/orbs, they created an artfully connected arrangement using tulips and orchids, garnished with citrus. The table was a long and inspired by family style dining with white irish linen cloth to the floor and matching napkins. Our table runner brought in some color and pattern in robbin’s egg blue from La Tavola (we also used this gorgeous linen on our highboy tables). Each place setting had a glass charger that reminded me of seaglass with square ocean blue plates. They were dawned with a menu “box” designed by Coral Pheasant, using a fun geometric pattern from the paper story.  The favor for each guest was a block of delicious Parmesan cheese, wrapped in cheese cloth and tied with a natural ribbon– one of my favorite details! Our dark bentwood chairs had robbin’s egg blue grosgrain ribbon looped along the backs which had both texture and some playfulness! Datura created a rich bouquet in shades of yellow with curly willow branch details. Coral Pheasant designed a beautiful invitation suite utilizing our colors of yellow, blue and green. Emily’s Catering served up a scrumptious Mediterranean ceviche and caprese salad finished with a shot of lemoncello.

Don’t you just want to run to Capri right now and get married? Major thanks to all our fantastic sponsors who worked so hard to see this destination come to life! Up next: New England. xo!

We designed this shoot to be rich in color and slightly quirky. There are a lot of textures and patterns and they all work really well together. Sometimes people get scared of mixing patterns and textures and instead, stick to a very generic formula of matching colors and fabrics. In some instances, that look can be wonderful– but with most designs, I really encourage you to embrace texture, color, and patterns. It will make your look three dimensional and more interesting!

This shoot primarily took place on the gorgeous front wrap around porch of The Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. We set up a beautiful tablescape, which has become one of my all time favorites, with mix-matched china (some vintage, some rental), vintage silverware, hanging mirrors, vintage and rental linens, and an AMAZING centerpiece chandelier that hung above the table (with a little help from our team!).

This shoot was also debuted on Style Me Pretty last week in a lovely feature. Go check it out!

Our team started with our talented photography crew: Carla Ten Eyck, Katie Slater, Sara-Code Kroll, and Carla’s studio manager Dodie of Carla Ten Eyck Photography. The gorgeous fashions, accessories and styling of our models was the vision of Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the Shore. Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden designed all the gorgeous floral and collaborated with me on our epic tablescape! Jennie Fresa and Nedelyn Perry of Jennie Fresa Beauty Library composed our beauty team and created gorgeous looks for our models. To top it off– our friend Tom from Vantage Point Films was there to document the entire trip. You can see his incredible video here! Diana and I round out the rest of the team, accompanied by my friend and colleague Samantha Darr of soirrebliss! in Houston, Texas who came down to hang out and help!

Our morning started off at the historic Cornstalk Hotel, which, I might add, might be the prettiest Southern inn in the French Quarter. The Cornstalk is most famous for it’s iron cornstalk fence and famous guests (one of which is Harriet Beecher Stowe who was inspired to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” after visiting the inn).The Inn sits on Royal Street, which we’d later shut down and stage our entire shoot in it’s heart.

This shoot was inspired by fashion, and included a custom Modern Tousseau created just for our shoot. The bride wore a vintage rose applique by Karen Lindner Designs in her hair and jewels by Haute Bride. The classic black tuxedo was provided by Perlis, and the groom wore a sweet little peony boutionerre. The bridesmaid gowns are part of the  Jenny Yoo collection and were in a shade of grey, accentuated by pink fabric flower sash by Twigs & Honey and jewels by Haute Bride. The hot pink shoes are designed by Poetic License. The pink tulip and pink peony bouquet with tulle hem were created by Datura: A Modern Garden. The pink paper “just married” banner was designed and hand made by posh paperie. Bella Umbrella provided the gorgeous white and pink ruffled vintage umbrellas!

Hot off the heels of a beautiful sunset, we woke up early the next morning and headed to Playa Blanca in Punta Leona to set up for our colorful and playful beach shoot. We packed up the car, jerry-rigged our furniture to the top of the SUV with some pretty purple organza ribbon, and headed off. The beach was remote, private, and a little challenging to get to. Walking through the rain forest will all our gear (i.e. table, benches, glassware, desserts, flowers, silverware, bouquets, gowns, accessories, spanx… !) we emerged onto a white sand, drift wood filled beach. There were amazing textures everywhere, like black volcanized rock with fossilized sea shells, old drift wood in interesting shapes that replicated furniture, palm trees, and a shoreline littered in coral. We set up our base underneath an old tree that was practically striped of its rooted home by the tide and rain water. Next to our shoot location, a river flowed onto the beach from the top of the neighboring mountain. Prior to our arrival, Costa Rica experienced the heaviest rains in 60 years. The aftermath of those rains came down in a steady stream and channeled into the Pacific Ocean.

{pictured: tony and I fending off this overly friend raccoon. he was after our delightful french macarons prepared by petites bouchees }

{pictured: the deliciousness of petites bouchee after the shoot. a worthy reward! }

After our beach shoot we returned home, tired, excited, and ready for a little rest! Our personal chef, Jose of El Buen Sabor, prepared a delicious meal for us which was very much needed! Jose has a company in Jaco, Costa Rica and caters all types of parties and social events– including weddings.

On Friday, we packed up the car full of big ball skirt dresses and amazing paper props and set off to Cuidad Colon and The Crazy Horse Farm for a full day of shooting. Krysia Peterson, the farm’s owner, was beyond welcoming to our group. We shot in the waterfall, on the side of a mountain, in a river, on the edge of ancient vines weaving through the rain forest, in Kenyan grass, on the top of the mountain overlooking the hills of Ciudad Colon, in a hammock (which to me, is the essence of Pura Vida), and last but certainly not least, on a horse.

{ pictured: myself, beth, max-daddy, diana and lindsay. it was really hot out, which explains beth and my delusions of grandeur }

{ yes, that’s one of beth chapman’s amazing gowns on that horse. and yes, eventually the horse did the unthinkable }

We wrapped just as the rain began to fall pretty hard– perfect timing.

There is something to be said, again, about teamwork and creative synergy. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by the brightest and best minds in the business. A true testament to friendship and teamwork is the ability to rise above and make things happen when the unexpected (or unthinkable) happens. I think that’s one of the things this team does best.

Many people ask me how to pull together the editorial shoots that we’ve worked on over the past year +. There are a lot of tips and tricks I could share, but really, the most important piece of advice I could give is for you to find a team that makes it worth wild. Because at the end of the day, aside from any kind of publicity you might receive, business you might garner, or glory you might gain– it really comes down to that magic moment when the excitement is at its peek, the vision in your head is made into reality, and you realize that you worked on this project because of the team– your friends– and the experience you’ll always have.

Back in May Carla Ten Eyck and I hosted our Collaborate and Create workshop in Watch Hill, Rhode Island at the newly restored Ocean House. Our final mini shoot of the day was inspired by our amazing photographic attendee, Nelly Soares from Lumina Images, who was inspired by the her surroundings and the Kennedy’s! We designed an on-the-fly shoot in the romantic drizzling rain with a gorgeous Priscilla of Boston gown, regal tablescape in purples and blues with lots of calligraphy touches. I absolutely adore the floral design of Jane from Just for You… the purple lilacs? My favorite flower!!!  This shoot is proof positive that you can create anything no matter the conditions or time constraints! It also is a tribute to great team work. I just love the beauty, romance, and simplicity of this preppy shoot. Be sure to see a full list of credits for all the amazing vendors who we are so honored to constantly have the opportunity to create with. Enjoy!

Many months ago I came across the image above and was instantly inspired! I knew that I could plan and design an event around that entire dress, and this simple picture– I just needed the right outlet! Today we’re up SUPER early to head into New York City to pull together a shoot for Robert and Kathleen Photographer’s Taking off {NYC} Seminar. We’ll be working with extraordinary talent and friends, The White Dress by the Shore, Datura: A Modern Garden, Jennie Fresa Beauty Library, and Ana Parzych Custom Cakes. I can’t wait to show you the outcome! Our offices will be closed during this project, but you can follow me on twitter @eventjubilee to see an inside view of the happenings!

I’m so excited to share this shoot with you, which was featured on Style Me Pretty in three separate posts which you can view here: part one, part two, and part three. It was an honor to put together this modern, sleek, minimal, citrus inspired shoot for our friends at Style Me Pretty. The caliber of shoots that they feature are incredible and we are so grateful to be among them! The inspiration board for our shoot was designed by Style Circle member Lena.

I love this board– mostly because it is such a departure from my own personal style. We all loved the minimal feel of the board, the citrus and bold colors. We took that as our main source of inspiration and set out to design a shoot with our incredible team! Speaking of, here are the talented and creative folks who made this shoot possible:

Photography: Carla Ten Eyck Photography
Flowers: Datura: A Modern Garden

Event Design: Jubilee Events

Event Planning: Jubilee Events with help from 14 Stories

Model Styling, Dresses and Accessories: The White Dress by the Shore

Reception Location: The Loading Dock

Hair & Makeup: Dana Bartone & Co.

Catering: Jordan Caterers

Cake & Confections: Ana Parzych

Invitations: Gus & Ruby Letterpress

Shoes: Zappos

Furniture Rentals: Taylor Creative Inc.

Ring Bowls, Place Cards, Ribbon, and Thank You Notes: Paloma’s Nest

Edible Champagne Flowers: Wild Hibiscus

Tableware, Glassware & Chargers: Party Rental Ltd.

Our color story ranged from bright white to orange, green, yellow, with hints of pink. We were inspired by the chandelier at The Loading Dock and integrated some of that sparkle in beautiful details and accessories– like the gorgeous jewelry and accessories from The White Dress by the Shore. Dana Bartone, inspired by the sleek makeup and styling of the model in our inspiration board, created a beautiful bun for our bride Kate. I love how her hair is so defined and slightly retro! The bouquet hanging in the chandelier and held by our bride, Linsdsay, was made of white miniature phaelonopsis orchids with lily grass.

Paloma’s Nest created wooden thank you cards for our couple that doubled as favors. They were tucked in glass line envelopes! Our bridesmaid, dressed in a lemon shantung frock from Chic by the Shore, carried a bouquet of trachelium, aspidistra and fresh cut limes , created by Datura: A Modern Garden.

I had SO much fun designing this tablescape along with Tony of Datura. It was a real challenge for me, personally, but I absolutely love the crisp and modern outcome! We used a ghost table from Taylor Creative Inc., as the basis of our design. Tony created a STUNNING centerpiece of curly willow branches known as “the cyclone” that grew out of the table and into the ceiling of The Loading Dock. It was accentuated with shades of orange clementines, blood oranges, and sweet valencia oranges. Tony wove in eucharis orchid’s into the tablescape for a touch of femininity and a pop of white. Each place setting had an orange glass charger with white frosted place settings. We submerged white frill tulips into the champagne glasses (one of my favorite details!) and also used them to top our clementine place card holders, which were created using wooden rings by Paloma’s Nest.

The paper suite was created by Gus & Ruby Letterpress. They decided on a clean, minimalist design that made use of the bright citrus color palate and hard, architectural lines of the industrial venue in white, orange, and grey with a hint of green. The paper suite was completely letterpress, including the cute citrus elements that we garnished our drink display with!

Tony of Datura created a citrus garland for our brides made of clementines, blood oranges and limes. The second bouquet, carried by Kate, was made of wedding belle daffodils with aspidistra. The menu cards on our table, also by Gus & Ruby were letterpress in orange ink and noted the delicious menu, as crafted by Jordan Caterers.

The ring bowl, an intrinsic part of the inspiration board was also by Paloma’s Nest. It was edged in gold and had our couple’s initials inscribed on the face. Our maid, Kelly, switched from a papaya colored jewel necklace by The White Dress by the Shore and into a custom designed necklace by Datura made of green hypericum berry, amber and minature phaelonopsis orchids.

The white leather couch was from the furniture collection at Taylor Creative, Inc. Ana Parzych created the White Tahitian Vanilla cake layered with Passion Fruit mousseline. It was finished in swiss meringue buttercream and vanilla fondant. Ana created fondant-molded pearls and hand-sculpted sugar lilies.

Jordan Caterers created a menu based on our inspiration board with sea infused menu items such as seared tuna, shrimp, scallops, lobster. They infused citrus in both color and flavor of the entrees and our cocktail bar, made up of key lime martini’s and passion fruit prosecco. We submerged edible wild hibiscus into some of our cocktails, too!

The AMAZING silver shoes with flower embellishment are from Zappos.com… our absolute FAVORITE website for shoes!

And a few behind-the-scenes images of our lovely and delightful photo shoot crew! Thanks to all for your creativity and hard work. It was such a pleasure collaborating with you!

Beth and I worked on coming up with a design board for our shoot, as we usually do, and were really inspired by a photograph that Robert and Kathleen took on their first trip to Paris. We wanted to do a monochromatic, black and white shoot, where the images felt like classic black and whites even in color. I really think we achieved that! Beth had a vision for fashion that was heavily influenced by runway, vogue, and of COURSE Sex in the City!

Throughout the process we worked with Kim Peytet of Parisian Events, who helped us source all the wonderful Parisian venders that collaborated with us! Kim introduced us to so many wonderful people who I will introduce YOU to throughout this post!
During our short (count 4 days!!!!) time in Paris, we did two days full of shooting and one day full of scouting. The other day was the day we all arrived—so we really hit the ground running! This shoot was recently featured on Style Me Pretty, and was part of Robert and Kathleen’s brilliant photography seminar – Taking Off.

Kim secured a beautiful apartment for us to work from and for Robert and Kathleen to teach. It had a roof top deck where we put together an amazing tablescape with the help of several talented people! The morning began with hair and makeup… our model, Segolene, is positively beautiful. Hair and makeup was covered by our new friend, Masafumi Matsuda, who also doubled as our Japanese / Parisian tour guide on day two. =) If you are looking for beauty while in Paris– look no further!! Masafumi is absolutely amazing!!! Beth styled Segolene in the most stunning Modern Trousseau gown before it hit the runway at bridal market and jewelry by The White Dress by the Shore in layers, and layers of decedent pearls and diamonds!

The shoes, by Vouelle, were beautiful white pointed toe heels with a little ruffle of fabric at the toe. Our friend Elizabeth Porcher Jones, lover of all things Paris as well, did the stunning calligraphy on this invitation.

Our male model, Jeremy, wore a classic black tuxedo by the generous folks at Tuxego in New York. Catherine Muller is the talented floral designer and created the ivy and white floral boutonniere. Our talented friends at Posh Paperie in San Diego mailed their amazing program, with ivory, silver, and red embellishments all the way to Paris for our shoot!

We styled the gorgeous tablescape with white linen from our friends at Rentals Unlimited. The best part? They happened to be in Paris (randomly) while we were there, and stopped in to say hello! It truly was an East Coast destination. They also provided the lace-styled chair caps and white napkins. Catherine Muller put together a beautiful white and green arrangement in an antiqued pedestal. The arrangement was very gardeny, filled loosely with calla lilies and other beautiful white flowers. She did an amazing job! The paper flower garland down the center of the table is absolutely brilliant—you need to run out NOW and get some! Originally I had envisioned the garland hanging over the table, but it was really windy on that roof top and there was NO way that was going to work. So we improvised. Thanks to kate’s paperie, the maker of that fabulous garland!

Is that cake not gorgeous? The Sugar Plum Cake Shop in Paris created a white and ecru cake with macaron and ribbon embellishments. Perfection!!! Posh Paperie created the perfect paper ribbon cake topper. The cake pedestal? Lugged in my suitcase (among MANY, MANY things). I’m said to say it didn’t make it home, but it was certainly a worthy sacrifice!!

Segolene wore a beautiful tulle necklace with broach by Miss Ruby Sue (broach by The White Dress by the Shore).

More beautiful table details! We love the place card holders, silverware and knife rests (only in France!), and glass chargers by Noel-Collet. More of Catherine Muller’s beautiful centerpiece and kate’s paperie’s tissue flowers. I love hanging things off the backs of chairs, so you know we had to do something!

Beth had an amazing pose that she wanted to create with Segolene… and viola… magic!!! Her bouquet was similar in style to our centerpiece and we wrapped it in the most BEAUTIFUL lace paper from kate’s paperie. I am still drooling over it!!

For most of the day it rained– so we stayed comfortable inside until the weather broke. We made a mad dash over to the Eiffel Tower for the second half of our shoot!

Big thank you to Robert and Kathleen for coming up with the idea and asking us to be along for the ride! We would have never had the opportunity to do something so amazing if it were not for you. Another big thank you to Beth Chapman, who is always amazing to collaborate with. Your sense of style and fashion really made this photo shoot what it was– spectacular. And big thank you to Marshie, our fashion and craft guru who had so many wonderful ideas!!!! Your energy, enthusiasm and company truly made our trip. We are so grateful to Kim of Parisian Events for introducing us to the wonderful and generous Parisian vendors who were so EASY to work with and fun! Your help was instrumental in the amazing success of our shoot and we are so appreciative!

Thank you all for your time, attention, creative input, and conversation!

More to come. xoxo

After our epic beach shoot at Playa Hermosa with our loving couple, Michelle and Alejandro, we woke up the next morning and decided to do it all over again! These shoots are a lot of work– especially when you do them outside the comforts of your own territory. In between shoots, we also had to be fully functioning businesses.

Tony and I worked on our laptops every day, getting back to clients and vendors in between the commotion. Good thing we set up the office in the bar!

Here you can spy Erik and Greg working hard, too!

During our scouting session, we decided our rain forest shoot would be at a small village / hotel community at the base of a large mountain, overlooking the ocean and waterfalls of the rain forest. This small village, I believe, was transported to Costa Rica from a Spanish country. It had a GORGEOUS chapel and amazing rain forest views. It was perfect.

So, we set up our tablescape right in the water. It.was.amazing! And totally on the fly. To be honest, Tony and I didn’t have much of a plan… but we worked together to put together something amazing with the natural elements around us. Working with Diana and Susannah, the four of us came up with a lot of awesome ideas on the spot! We wove leaves together to create a natural linen and used lots of growing vines that Tony cut down from the surrounding vegetation. The flowers? We cut them out of the rain forest ourselves!

Here is Tony rigging up something amazing for the back of the chair.

We got the idea to wet down the table which took it to a whole new level!

Meanwhile…. while we were setting up, the rest of our team was getting ready. Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore styled all our models for day two, and DD Nickel did hair and makeup. Here is our maid, Katelyn, getting the finishing touches by DD!

While we were setting up in the rain forest the rest of our team, once ready, first it up Alejandro’s surf shop in downtown Jaco. It was absolutely amazing! Here is Beth in action styling Michelle!

And here is Carla micromanaging posing inside the surf shop… to be honest, Michelle was amazing and didn’t need much guidance!

After the surf shop, the team was reunited in the rain forest and we began shooting!!!!

Here is Diana and Sara putting the finishing touches on our tablescape prior to shooting.

Sara looking out for Katelyn’s hair as she takes some gorgeous shots of her in this beautiful yellow dress! Isn’t she stunning?

And here DD jumps in to help Katelyn out… it was REALLY hot… and REALLY humid!! I give her a lot of props for being up on that little skimpy rock in those Michael Kors wedges!

There were snakes, lizards, monkey’s and Toucan’s all over the place!

We moved over into the chapel to do some gorgeous bride and groom shots. Here Beth gets Michelle ready!

After, we headed back to our spot and did some incredible shots of the bride and groom! Here Carla sets up a shot in the water.

Here you can see Mike from Buzz Media shooting while we look on.

Erik getting all crazy in the water with his hat, looking like he should be on a safari!

Here we all our snuggling up to the back of Carla’s camera… well, everyone except Greg, who’s more interested in his own stuff!! Burn!

After our rain forest shoot, part of the team went up the top of the mountain to our new friends boutique hotel (opening soon). Victoria and Enrique were such gracious hosts– you MUST see what an amazing piece of property they have!! Enrique is an architect and built the beautiful 5 bedroom boutique hotel which overlooks the ocean and the rain forest. All the wood you see is hand carved and native to the area. The shots we got here? Absolutely and positively INSANE!!!! Thank you SO MUCH Victoria and Enrique!!!

Just a little taste. Wait until you see the amazing short clip from Buzz Media!

Well, that’s the end of our behind the scenes look at Costa Rica. We are dying to show you the images — soon! We want to thank all the vendors that participated in both of these amazing shoots: Stay in Costa Rica, Carla Ten Eyck Photography, Jubilee Events, The White Dress by the Shore, Datura: A Modern Garden, Buzz Media, DD Nickel, Gala Cloths, Eventos Boadicea, Posh Paperie, Paloma’s Nest, Zappos, Primele Calligraphy, Ben Amun, Riedel, kate’s paperie, and Larissa Banting for local referrals!

Carla and her dad had A TON of goodies from Mexico–from masks to cards to flags.  We also added a great touch with some sugar skulls–for the Day of the Dead tradition, family members eat these sugar skulls as a sign of life and longevity in remembrance of their loved ones.   Add our models, Alicia and Carlos and it was pure magic!  

Of course we had help from our good friend, Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the Shore!  She picked out a dress that was PERFECT for this atmosphere–she really has an incredible eye!!

The color on this altar was fantastic!!  Like Carla was aiming for– lots of fresh and exciting color!  Even with the most simple details, Tony can still create such masterpieces!!

While this shoot was something more personal and fun, it still gave us so many great ideas and worked our creativity just as every shoot does.  As always, I cannot wait for the next one… Maybe more personally inspired shoots to come!!!

XOXO

How’s that for hot? You might be able to get a peek at Larry’s dashboard there. He’s already had it replaced once!

Didn’t I tell you this spot was awesome? We had so many ideas for it, but as with most shoots, you never really know if your ideas are going to work or not. We had envisioned draped fabric between the trees like a canopy, filled with greens and interesting leaves that we cut down ourselves in the rain forest… Oh man, it was going to be so gorgeous!!! But nope, mother nature had other plans. And it’s called wind! I will always remember Larry saying to us, “Wow, this is so unusual. It’s NEVER windy here!” Figures. So we improvised!

We also planned on building a four posted structure for the ceremony. It was also going to be swaddled in fabric. Can’t you see it blowing in the LIGHT breeze, whimsical, simple and elegant? NOPE. First of all, we forgot a mallet to hammer it into the ground. Second of all, there is NO way it would stay. That thing was going to take flight!!! So what did we do? Improvised. Check out Tony below making it happen… because that’s what he does!

So much of what we do is planned, yet our best ideas are usually the ones that are not. Here is the team hard at work improvising and creating things on site.

Meanwhile… back at Los Suenos…

The talented DD Nickel was on all the beauty of our gorgeous model, Michelle and bridesmaid, Magan. We hadn’t worked with DD before this trip but let me tell you, she fit right in. We love her! She’s the kind of artist that does her own thing and pays attention to detail. She understood our overall vision and then added her two cents, which is just how we like it!

Then our amazing crew and models arrived and it was down to business! We got changed out of our sweaty, gross clothes so we could sweat and be gross in some new ones. And also so we could make like we were guests!

Our amazing Carla Ten Eyck pack with Buzz Media in there too!

It’s hard NOT to smile when you see what’s inside Carla’s camera. And she always comes in with the sneak peeks!!!

Mrs. Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the Shore who single handily makes sure our models look amazing at every shoot!

This may be my favorite picture of all time. Carl Lewis with the sneak attack on Poop Shoe’s towel…. bloop!

This was one of the last shots of the day… mid afternoon… the skies just opened up and it started to POUR. I guess rain follows us where ever we go. There was a mad dash to get everything cleaned up and out of sight before the rain subsided. What do you do after a long day of set up and shooting in the open Costa Rican sun? Well, besides get your self a cocktail….

more to come… ! xoSimilar Posts:

The hospitality of our hosts really got us ready for the next day, which was a full day of shooting and scouting for locations. We met up with our photographers who got up to watch the sunrise and photograph our models surfing in the morning.  The spot for our first shoot was where Larry of StayInCostaRica.com and our models Michelle and Alejandro surf every morning– Playa Hermosa . It’s a black sand beach with gorgeous views. It’s also where the International Quicksilver Surf Championships is held every year in August. We decided that for our beach shoot, the parking lot would be our ideal spot. A parking lot — I know. Even Larry said, I can’t believe we’re shooting in the dump where I park my car every morning!!! But seriously– it was so beautiful and had every element we were looking for. And to be quite honest, we can make ANYTHING look good.

After chose the beach, Carla, Mike, Tony and I went on a Costa Rican adventure to find the rain forest location for our second shoot… wait until you see it! Shout out to our friends The White Dress by the Shore and DD Nickel who were also part of our scouting adventure.

While away our fun, spring inspired tablescape we created at The Society Room bridal show was featured on Style Me Pretty! I thought there was no better time than to share this with you know as Spring is in full swing. We shared an awesome booth space with the incredibly talented Datura: A Modern Garden and Carla Ten Eyck Photography. Tony and I collaborated on this fun and whimsical set up with touches of pink, gold, and ivory.

Have I ever mentioned that Tony and Cat from Datura: A Modern Garden are complete geniuses? They created all the floral decor for our booth– including the branch and greens centerpiece “umbrella” that rained beautiful purple orchids down onto our tablescape. Gorg!! I love our little touches of cucumber water on the table and lemonade and apricot squares on the sweet table. We were inspired by spring and wanted to creative a festive garden party inside.

We had an amazing dress on display by Melissa Sweet, available at The White Dress by the Shore.

I admit, it’s a tad cliché, but I couldn’t resist! I am so excited to be flying off to Paris to take part in an amazing workshop put together by two of my very good friends, Robert and Kathleen Trenske. Their Taking Off Seminar is an incredible opportunity for fellow photographers to travel with Rob and Kathleen to a unique location, where they will teach a variety of different topics, and also provide an amazing photoshoot. When Rob and Kathleen asked me to be a part of kicking off this workshop I felt so honored.. and never imagined that I would be able to go to Paris!!

I’ve been collaborating with my good friend Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore on the look and feel of our shoot. I can’t wait to share! Beth will be traveling with us too… wait until you see the amazing fashions she has pulled. Kim Petyt from Parisian Events has been helping us pull together all the local details for this workshop… which we seriously can’t wait to share! There are also some incredible paper details being created AS WE SPEAK (!) from our dear, dear friends at Posh Paperie. For now, here is a preview of our parisian inspired board:

This will be my first time in Paris. I’ve dusted off my passport, finished unpacking from New Orleans (don’t judge me… I’m a busy girl!), and started exercising again so I can eat croissants and macarons. I’m really only there for a few short days, but would LOVE to hear your advice on the one thing I absolutely MUST do while in Paris. Leave a comment below!

This month we’re inspired by the color pink, layers of fabric, a flair for high fashion and the undeniable style of Jackie O. Unlike some of our other shoots which have all been Connecticut based, this month we’re flying down to New Orleans!!! Our incredible list of vendors AMAZES me every time I look at it — seriously — I’m so honored and pumped that these creative talents are traveling with us! We’re working with these incredible vendors and many more to come…

Shoot / table styling, Jubilee Events, Photography by Carla Ten Eyck, Gowns & Model Styling by The White Dress by the Shore, Floral Decor by Datura — A Modern Garden, Jennie Fresa & The Beauty Library, Cinematography by Vantage Point Films, Paper loveliness by Posh Paperie, Music and Entertainment by Dr. Jazz and the New Orleans Sounds, accessories and jewels by Twigs and Honey and Karen Lindner Designs, and calligraphy by Elizabeth Porcher Jones.
