Pink and Gold Wedding Inspiration

Who doesn't love pink and gold? Hard not to love these two colors when they are masterfully incorporated into stylish details, sequin linen, figurines and flowers. If looking at these photographs gives you as much inspiration as we got, then we know 

Swoon worthy cutlery, candle holders, stunning furniture and blush colored cushions are all fruits of creativity of Botanica Floral and Event Design, and Mimi & Co. Assorted apothecary jars (which are the best to display candies!), cherry turnovers, marshmallows and charming squirrel figurine add so many prettiness to the whole atmosphere of the event.

And we must admit, we fell in love with the shoot from the very first moment we laid our eyes on it!


About the shoot: Villa Privata is nestled into a small canyon in the quaint town of Jackson, California. As you drive up to this Mediterranean gem tucked back into the hills, you really feel like you are transported to somewhere in the Italian countryside. Taking inspiration from the terra cotta walls and surrounding woods was easy inspiration. 

We absolutely fell in love with the sequin linen we used for the guest table provided by Mimi & Co. Couture linens. From there, we played off gold accents, some vintage romance touches and soft, natural feeling florals. For the guest table, we added height with gold candelabras topped with white hydrangea, peach stock, dusty miller and branches to tie in with the surrounding. The tabletop featured gold & crystal accent pieces filled with matching florals and baby's breath accents. Linen upholstered chairs were tied off with tulle accents and baby's breath wreaths. We chose to place a settee on one side of the table to add interest for the bride and groom to be seated next to each other. Brass vintage goblets, flatware and vintage china with gold and pink rimmed edges were the perfect compliment to finish off the table. Garnishes of rosemary and lamb's ear add a bit of finish to the place settings. 

We chose to display the sweets table on an architectural buffet and filled up the space with plenty of treats and eye candy! From turnovers to chocolate dipped wafers & marshmallow filled apothecary jars, a dessert table is a sweet spot to add little touches and detail that are special. 

The hand-tied style bridal bouquet was created with the same look and feel to compliment the table; white hydrangea, rosemary accents, lamb's ear, roses and variegated pittosporum. The stems were finished off with natural jute and embellishing trim to compliment the colors.

Glamorous Black and Gold Inspiration

What better way to start the new year than with gorgeous shoot such as this one from V.A. Photography and Nikke Santerre Photography? Beautiful black and gold inspiration with glitter galore... it's sure to make your day sparkle! 


About the shoot: The vision behind "Auld Lang Syne" was to create a glamorous styled shoot in honor of the good times. We wanted a model who embodied glamour and I sincerely believe Jennifer (the model) did just that! The shoot was to inspire reflection over the past year and encouragement to look forward to the year ahead. Nikki (Nikki Santerre Photography), Amanda (Into it Events), and I (V.A. Photography) wanted to create a shoot that was solely for our creative purpose. We feel it's good for the soul to continue creating shoots for our own personal use and we love collaborating together!

Los Angeles, California Wedding by Closer to Love Photography

I just adore this absolutely beautiful cultural wedding from Sammy & Natalia of Closer to Love Photography. Taira, the bride wore a gorgeous Pakistani wedding gown and stunning jewerly, and created a lot of elements for the wedding day and Andy looked very handsome in his suit. The florals and invitations? The bride created them both :) I hope you enjoy this wedding as much as I did!

From Closer to Love Photography:
We had the opportunity to capture the beautiful wedding of Taira and Andy. This wedding is particularly special to us because it was the first time we photographed a bride in a traditional Pakistani gown. Taira made a stunning bride and we couldn’t get enough of the intricate details that embodied her cultural heritage, especially the artistic henna patterns. Because Andy was not Pakistani, the wedding was culturally mixed. This allowed us to witness the joining of two totally different families, now becoming one. Because of the mixture of heritages, Taira and Andy decided to have a more Western take on their Wedding Day. Taira’s main inspiration was her Pakistani Wedding Gown. She admired all the beautiful colors her Gown exhibited and therefore had more creative flow when creating her DIY bouquet/floral arrangements and deciding on the design for her unique wedding wake. May this beautiful wedding with its ethereal color palette invoke creativity for every future bride! Wedding Bliss!
