SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Hushed Commotion Bridal Accessories + a Holiday Party

Holidays are coming up. Which means holiday parties are also coming up. Which means time to purchase a new party dress? Maybe some sparkly heels? Glitter tights? All of the above? Last year we styled a mini bridal accessories shoot with Mackensey Alexander and Beyond Beautiful by Heather at Ships of the Sea Museum. We wanted to come up with some stylish ways for brides to re-use their bridal accessories during the holidays. One of my favorites was this pearl and sparkly sash by Hushed Commotion.

Happy Holidays ya'll!

{STYLED SHOOT} Moons, Stars + Tarot Cards

So excited that we finally are sharing this styled shoot we did at one of Savannah's newest + hippest venues, Cohen's Retreat!!! We are pretty much obsessed with this venue. It is unique, has awesome furniture, and amazing interior design. We are also extremely excited that we get to be a part of our first wedding here this fall for our clients, Amber + David!!! Anyway, huge thank you to Mackensey Alexander for capturing all of the details of this shoot, which was inspired by art nouveau, stars + moons and tarot cards. 

Beyond Beautiful by Heather did hair and makeup for our lovely models and we love how funky and fabulous they looked!! Our bride wore a Sarah Seven gown and our bridesmaid wore a Veronica Sheaffer dress. All the accessories modeled by them are by Jaclyn Jordan. The ceremony backdrop was a craft project that Adrienna + I DIYed in the shop one day... with lots of rhinestones... Our reception table was styled by Amber Veatch using chargers + silverware rentals from her new company, Set Event Rentals. We borrowed chairs from Savannah's newest vintage rental company, Rentiquity and other decor was from Simply Southern Wedding. The flowers were designed by Madame Chrysanthemum. Kaitlin Slattery did all the printable designs and the handwritten calligraphy and last but obviously not least since it was seriously delicious was the cake by Lulu's Chocolate Bar... which we of course devoured minutes after Mackensey was done photographing all the details of our shoot!!! Anyway, we hope you enjoy looking at all the loveliness!! And huge thank you to all the vendors who participated and collaborated with us!!

TIFFANY + SEAN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

It was so fun being able to style this engagement! Tiffany is one of brides, and we are so excited for her wedding this fall at the Roundhouse. We were so happy to help her find her dream dress (which has a custom change by Faith Thornburg) and her custom hair piece! When styling her shoot, we knew we wanted to add cats, and the hanging cat garland was perfect. A huge thank you to Mackensey Alexander for photographing this!
