Glitter, soft hues, sparkling metallics and a gorgeous couple are the essentials for a lovely little pick-me-up. This styled shoot from Michelle Girard Photography has us feeling like a fabulous champagne cocktail! Everything from the shoes to the bubbles at cocktail hour are a refreshing take on an intimate New England wedding. One of the primary inspirations for this shoot was the West African tradition of the tasting of four elements: lemon (to represent sour), vinegar (bitter), cayenne pepper (hot), and finally honey as the sweetness that the couple will experience if they weather the troubled times represented by the first 3 elements. This is most definitely an awesome theme behind this beautiful shoot!

We all love Tom’s shoes, and we really love these bridesmaids in their matching Tom’s wedges! This Tennessee plantation wedding has beautiful DIY touches from the bride herself, with paper flowers and yarn wrapped vintage bottles – the shades of teal blue, yellow, and orange quench our thirst for some color. The ceremony took place beneath the Carnton plantation’s famous 160-year-old Osage Orange tree. Beautiful.
