Styled Shoot: Sweet Summer Peaches

Well, it's been quite a while since we blogged so what better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with a fabulous, classic American styled shoot! What is more American than lace, peaches, a barn & an old pick up truck? We teamed up with some amazing South Jersey vendors for this and we hope you love it as much as we do! These images are stunning thanks to the always fabulous Stephanie, from Satlwater Studios! Enjoy!

 What an amazing background! This barn is located in Smithville, NJ and supplied the perfect amount of rustic chic for our styled shoot! It goes perfectly with the crisp white linen with burlap & lace runner! The delicate babies breath adds a simple elegant touch to the bold peach roses. 

The birdcages & mason jars add a vintage flare to complete the look!

 Our stunning model, Chelsea was the perfect fit for this fresh, playful shoot! 

She looked gorgeous in this all lace sweetheart neckline mermaid gown from 

Wedding Belles Boutique. Stephanie caught the light so perfectly!

I may be partial but I just LOVE place setting details! A simple table can be so elegant with

 just a few items! This menu card brings the rustic feel with the lace and twine on top! 

And what a fun way to bring your guests to their seats with vintage style seed packets as escort cards!

 Chelsea's hair looked truly amazing! I asked Christine for something 

fresh, young & light and she nailed it! Absolute perfection!

 Seriously, how adorable is she?!?!? Make-up by Kacey was spot on! 

Barely there look, but oh so stunning!

And of course some paper details by us! Fun burlap banner, specialty cocktail sign, peach striped straws & drink tags add fun little details to any bar! Don't forget the cute little stuff, people notice!

We borrowed this vintage truck from our local barber shoppe, The Smithville Barber Shoppe. 

It added such a fun touch to the shoot! So glad they let us steal it for a bit! Isn't the color amazing???

And of course we had to design a super fun, vintage invitation for the occasion! Simple linen & kraft paper with a lace & twine belly band of course! And who doesn't love a cute couple silhouette?!? Finishing the envelope off with a fabulous peach envelope liner, 

who wouldn't get excited receiving this in the mail?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Thank you for stopping by to check out our Sweet Summer Peaches Styled Shoot!

Special thank you to all our amazing local vendors! 

You girls rock and I couldn't have done it without you!

Wedding: Charity & Derrick

Almost a year ago I met Charity at the Ram's Head Inn bridal show. I knew I was going to really enjoy working with Charity when she told me her theme was pink & bling! How fun and perfect for a dream wedding at The Carriage House! 

She wore a gorgeous Justin Alexander gown from Wedding Belle's Boutique which added so much elegance to the ballroom filled with flowers & crystals by Betina's at Parkview. 

Take a look at some of the details from Charity & Derrick's BIG DAY!

Wedding: Laura & Jack

Laura contacted Just Be. a few months ago, she had already done her invitations but could not think of what she wanted for wedding decor. Her and her fiance, Jack, were having a green wedding so they did not want to do large floral centerpieces and they definitely wanted something unique. The more and more I learned about the couple, the more I could envision their big day. The first thing Laura, a speech teacher in Egg Harbor City, mentioned was that they were trying to keep everything "green" so I automatically thought to use "found objects". Then she mentioned that she wasn't too big on flowers so I thought about green & herbs. And finally she told me that everyone calls her fiance Shrek. From all of these different elements, we created the centerpieces you will see below. They have recycled old story books, wooden boxes, potted herbs, mason jars with berries, roses & fresh picked lilac and tons of candles. I wanted to achieve a romantic, rustic feel and I think it turned out great! 

But take a look for yourself!

The escort card display. 

Laura ordered tea dyed tags from Europe 

and wrote each guests name and table on them. 

Then Just Be. created this display 

for guests to take their cards from.

The favor explanation sign made by Just. Be.

To keep with the "green" theme, 

Laura & Jack planted a tree in each of their guests' name 

in lieu of a wedding favor. Such an awesome idea!

Their adorable cake topper!

The Sweetheart Table

Why have table numbers 

when you can be so much more creative and make fun table names!

Laura & Jack did Shrek puns as their table names 

and I am sure their guests enjoyed seeing 

all the different ones they came up with. 

Just Be. supplied birch logs as the card holder, 

and check out the amazing paper the names are on. Woodgrain!

Rustic Red Roses to compliment the feel and theme on the day.

 Fresh picked Lilac 

provided a wonderful scent throughout the room. 

And berries, always a fun touch to any flower arrangement.

 Who doesn't love a mason jar? 

Even if they aren't your personal style, 

you can't deny the rustic beauty of them.

The always beautiful Smithville Inn in Galloway, New Jersey. 

Such an amazing place to get married!

Check out the backdrop for their ceremony!!! 

What a beautiful time of year to get married!

The beautiful bride and her father.

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Giacolone!

We are so thankful that we could be a part of your amazing day!
