Today’s the big day – we have photos from the European inspired style shoot!!! The other day we tweeted “bringing an idea to life is exciting – rockin’ it is even better!”, and these photos are the proof.

Our goals for this shoot were to inject a bold color palette, subtly infuse a theme-like style, and to merge modern and traditional elements. It tells a story of a worldly couple who has traveled extensively overseas; maybe even met at a cafe near the Trevi fountain… romance is an important element to their celebration, so shimmering candlelight and glass helped to create the perfect ambiance. But not all of their guests will appreciate the intimate nature of the couple’s relationship, so the focus is more on the bold, beautiful, fun celebration! A color palette of teal, aqua, lavender, and gold creates a WOW factor that will show guests “We’re here to P-A-R-T-Y!”.

We used traditional elements in the stationery pattern as well as other items: formal invitations, individual menu cards, champagne favors, and dramatic centerpieces set the tone for a formal event. But modern elements in the ghost chairs, stemware, chargers, and cigar favors created what we call a “relevant” design — an overall style that merges traditional and modern elements to create an event with personal, contemporary relevance.

Looking through the photos we had a hard time slecting the few to share with you. There are only a few here, so touch base with Tyra Bleek for more images.
