Serenity Blue & Cobalt Styled Shoot

I know that everyone is probably well aware by now that, back in March, Marlayna and I collaborated with a ton of amazing vendors on a styled shoot. I've been chronicling that journey in a few different blogs, and I absolutely love being able to share all that we learned. I think the most awesome thing about that day was that we did not just get one shoot out of it, but two, thanks to the generosity and hard working vendors that participated in the shoot. Due to their collective effort, our second shoot was featured on a local wedding inspiration blog called Charm City Wed on Monday!

We went into March 15th thinking that we were going to have one shoot and that was going to be it, but as the day evolved we realized how awesome our vendor team truly was. Everything during the day could be split into two different sessions from the stunning earrings by Rachel Mulherin, to the delectable food by Copper Kitchen. Items could be combined and separated in order to create two new worlds within a single day. We used the invitations that Pretty Peacock Paperie artfully crafted within the second shoot to add a different look to the rings from St. Johns Jewelers. Nature of Design, the fantastic florist, created two completely different fairytale-esque tablescapes that were so beautiful and unique. Bella Bridesmaids let us borrow six dresses that made each model take on a new look that was totally fierce. Just when we thought the gorgeous trio of girls couldn't get any better, we put them in a cooled down palette, and it just transformed everything. Then, of course, we had rock candy cupcakes from Cakes by Brittany that fit perfectly into the second shoot. I know Marlayna and I both felt an incredible sense of teamwork that reinforced how great this collaboration was.

The feeling of having two shoots recognized and featured is honestly bigger than I ever thought possible. It's incredible and nerve-racking at the same time, since these shoots are super precious to us. We want everyone to feel well represented, and now that both shoots are at home in their magazine and inspiration blog, it's awesome to celebrate this huge accomplishment made possible by so many people!

If you haven't already, check out the feature and then dance with us!
