Anyone else feeling inspired by fall? A little while back, I got together with some amazing vendors and we put together a fun inspiration shoot celebrating the colors of fall. We were hosted at Bella Via, a great new little venue in Sherwood that is adorable and glamorous.

These placecards (and the invitations you’ll see later) came from Erin LaFavor with Foosie Design. I love her attention to detail!

We brought in two models (in gorgeous bridal gowns from Charlotte’s Weddings & More) to show two different sides of the fall bride — one is more playful and relaxed and the other is all-out bridal glamour.

These stunning florals (and all of our table styling) is from Lisa Martin of Bloomsberry Floral. She’s so genius with beautiful things — LOOK at that bridal bouquet!

Hair guru Madeline Roosevelt did these beautiful braided styles on both of our brides and Jessica Belknap, master of the makeup brush, made them glow.

Look at Lisa’s brilliant recycled beer-bottle table centerpiece — I love the idea of using something recycled and so simple to create depth on a table. She also had the smart idea of having a beer-and-nut bar at this wedding. Wouldn’t that be fun and the perfect idea for fall?


The jewelry above (necklace and earrings) is from Elephantine and the jewels below are from Grayling. Love both your work, Rachel and Katy!


Loved working on this shoot with all of your super-talented vendors. Thanks so much for making my job tons of fun!
