Let me just preface this post with saying this is NOT a real wedding. I repeat, this is only a test, this is not a real wedding.
But oh goodness, do I WISH it was MY real wedding! Sometimes during the “off season,” creatives like me get a bit bored and itch to create something pretty. So, I took things into my own hands and created a mini styled shoot here at home. A styled shoot is when creative vendors partner up and create a certain look, or “style” for an event. For this styled shoot, I wanted to do wedding details that reflect my personal personality and let me tell you, friends, this hit the nail on the head a thousand times more than my wedding 9 years ago did! Not to pat myself on the back, but I am obsessed with my own work!
Because this isn’t a real wedding, I don’t have anything sentimental or personal to write about it. Also, I doubt you want to read three paragraphs about how I spent hours choosing fake rings, shoes and confetti! ha! So, instead, we will just categorize this post as “eye candy” and let that be enough for today! I hope you love it!
PS – All the vendors will be listed at the bottom. If you’re currently planning a wedding, check them out ASAP because they are the best of the best!
