We’re featured on Grey Likes Weddings today with Jasmine Star!
I was honored to be invited to be a part of photographer Jasmine Star‘s latest CreativeLive workshop on shooting an editorial. We worked together in the months leading up to April’s shoot – I designed a set for Jasmine to use in her class where she could show her students how a live editorial shoot works and what shots and techniques are important. Jasmine’s final images were chosen to be featured today on the Grey Likes Weddings blog! Yay! More images are on Jasmine’s site today as well, and I’ll share more in the future including inspiration sketches and design details. Click below to view Summer’s full post on Grey Likes Weddings.
Wedding Sugar Palette #1104 | Frosty Seaside

It’s getting chilly out! This Inspiration Board brings out the glamour of winter weather, recalling dripping icicles and morning dew on a field of sea grass. The 1920s twist on fashion and furniture give the look a vintage elegance, dazzling with subtle sheen and silver sparkles. The modern color palette and surprising mix of accessories update this look for an unforgettable party overlooking a frosty landscape, just in time for the New Year!

Wedding Fashion Tip | Weather or Not
Happy Bridesmaids equal a happy Bride! In consideration of the upcoming seasons (hard as it is to say goodbye to the warm weather), it’s a great idea to give your bridesmaids some weather appropriate dress and shoe options. Warmer fabrics like satin and taffeta will greatly add to their comfort, as well as considering the dress length and sleeve options.

TOUR DE FORCE | swoon-worthy headpieces!
They’re over the top, full of playful personality and made with luxurious folds of fabric. London based Tour de Force is a designer that makes unique fashions and headpieces that have completely rocked my world today. They are not for every bride but if you think you can pull one of these babies off at your wedding, PLEASE DO, and don’t forget to send me pictures! I’m putting one on my wish-list since I can’t stop daydreaming about wearing one to a party someday. They ship to the states and create custom bridal pieces upon request.
