My inspiration behind t he shoot was from my trip to Europe and seeing
all t he colors and t he joy t hat colors bring to people. I absolutely love t he fusion of bright tropical florals wit h an edgy blac k and white contrast. The floral tunnel for t he head table is practical and brings a level of intimacy. The cake wall is one of my favorite details. Who wouldn’t want to f ind your seat while enjoying your cake before dinner?

W H AT A D V I C E D O YO U H AV E FOR COUPLES SELECTING T H E I R B L O O M S? "When looking for inspiration and something catches your eye, be sure to ask yourself the questions to identify what it is you like about the arrangement. Is it the shape? Is it the color scheme? Is there a particular bloom in the arrangement that stands out to you? Asking these questions can help you better understand your style and what you like. When you meet with your florist, show them your inspiration and tell them exactly what you like about each arrangement. Doing this will make selecting your blooms much easier!" |

W H AT C A N A C O U P L E D O T O MAKE THEIR ENGAGEMENT S H O O T U N I Q U E LY T H E M? "Think about your memories and things you love to do with your partner and work with your photographer to incorporate those stories into your gallery. There is so much you can do in engagement photos to add layers of meaning. Think deeply about the places and things you would like to remember about your engagement season and make sure to express those ideas to your photographer if they are asking for them. Think about your favorite articles of clothing, gifts you have exchanged, a location your parents got married, where you two met or a favorite date spot. Your style, personality and love story should beam out of them." |

wedding planner! Lauren from Embellished Weddings was everything we wanted and did not know we needed in a wedding planner! Lauren’s knowledge and experience was impressive, but her humble nature, energy, passion and warmth was enough to win us over. All of the planning leading up to the wedding and the execution before and during our wedding day was seamless.” MISSY, BRIDE
