Villa de l'Amour - Stylized Shoot with Left Lane Productions

A couple of weeks ago I participated in a fabulous stylized wedding photo shoot, which was orchestrated by the gals at Left Lane Productions.  The venue was the gorgeous Villa de l'Amour in downtown High Point, North Carolina.  

The color palette consisted of pale pinks, blues, yellows, creams, with a hint of gold.  We also incorporated mercury glass in with some of the tablescapes & an old vintage whitewashed garden gate, which I loved. Everything looked amazing and everyone worked so well together. Lyndsi modeled two gorgeous gowns & she looked stunning. The first dress she modeled was an Allure and the other with the tulle was a Maggie Soterro.

 If you are planning a wedding or even an event, we hope you find some inspiration here. Or perhaps you'll find your vendors for your wedding?! I can honestly recommend each and everyone of these professionals who participated.  It was such a fun and memorable day and it sure was wonderful to "get my creative on" again, after a long winter.

wedding planners & designers - Left Lane Productions
bridal gowns - Lasting Impressions

the gardens at gray gables - stylized garden vintage photo shoot

As the temps "soar" into the 20's today & its threatening to snow, I'm thinking back on a stylized photo shoot I collaborated with Sue McCain of the Wedding Galleria by Bella on last summer. The Gardens at Gray Gables, a beautiful 1890's victorian home & wedding and event venue in Summerfield, NC was the setting for our shoot. I love this venue, with its beautifully landscaped gardens, koi ponds & fountains, and mature hardwood trees. It never disappoints!

Sue did a fantastic job of pulling everything together, along with Danielle & Keith, both of the Gardens at Gray Gables. Thanks to all of the other vendors who put a lot of effort into making this possible too. Everything looked great & our models Annika & Matt were naturals in front of the camera! Grand Rental Station supplied the table linens, chair covers, china, flatware, and the family style farm table & chiavari chairs. The yellow & purple flowers in the blue vases added a pop of color to the centerpieces on all of the tables. Sue did the styling for the cake & sweetheart tables under the gazebo as well. Sue certainly has a keen sense of style. I loved her idea of the garden vintage victorian theme - it suits the venue perfectly!

Many of you may recognize some of these images, as several appear on the Garden at Gray Gables' new website & in their marketing materials. Also The Wedding Galleria is several months ahead of me, as they posted a few of their favorites to their blog back in August!  So my excuse is for posting it now {rather than last summer!} is that this coming Wednesday evening, February 18th {weather permitting} The Gardens at Gray Gables will be hosting an open house and wedding show with over 30 vendors participating.  Its from 6-9pm free of charge. Bundle up and come on out and see for yourself all while enjoying complimentary appetizers, beverages, or a cocktail of your choice. Please stop by our booth to say hello - hope to see you there!
