Karnes Stable Old Hollywood Glam Style

Every so often we do inspiration photo shoots that is just something a little different to boost our creativity and it's fun too:-)  Jana, from Events in Bloom, and I had been talking about doing a photo shoot that was old Hollywood Glam with elegant golds, ivory, pink, candleabras, and interesting furniture.  If you remember seeing the decor in my house, I actually bought a number of interesting pieces from Shabbyed Up Chic.  Gale is amazing, and really an artist with furniture and she has started collecting, and renting items for weddings, so we got her in on it too.  We wanted an outdoor, natural setting and the huge trees and open lawn at Karnes Stables was perfect.  I love the seating area with the huge window frame and beaded chandalier.  Pearls, chalkboard seating chart, and lots of candles.  A huge thank you to Tara and Matt for being our fabulous models!!  Some of my favs are the ones in the mirror.  Enjoy!

Idea Room: Petal Carpets, Sequins, and golf balls......

 It always amazing how florals and lighting and draping turns a room into a whole different setting.  I recently did a shoot with Hunters Green Country Club, Extravaganza, and Events in Bloom to showcase some unique ideas you can incorporate into your decor.  In door ceremonies sometimes are just used for back up rain locations in Florida, but they can look amazing even in doors with draping uplighting, and I love the rose petal carpet in the aisle.  Why not accent the centerpieces with a little colored stone design.  This especially looks awesome on deep rich linens like the navy ones used here.  The vases have just an accent of sequins on the top that changes with different light.  The escort card table is a green with little golf balls, such a great accent for a golf lover or a country club wedding.  I'm so glad I don't have to come up with these ideas, I just photograph them:-)  

Indian Wedding Decor @Intercontinental Hotel Tampa

The West Coast Nace Chapter's monthly meeting topic this month was Indian/Pakistani weddings and decor.  We photographerd the details and decor for the host site, the Intercontinental in Tampa.  This past year we have done several Indian/Pakistani engagments and weddings and the from the ceremony to the food to the details they are some of our favorite types of weddings to capture.  This setup is a perfect example of the really colorful draping, floral patterns, and lounge furniture that is important to the Mehndi.  The ballroom was much softer florals and decor with a lot of uplighting and more neutral colors, typical of the 2nd day of events.  The cuisine is full of flavor and different texture and color as well!
