Doodle to Real Deal: Photobooth & Flipbook Styling

March 14, 2013   |   Posted in:

While I can admire fine art, I have no skills myself. This however never stops me from doodling ideas in my head for clients. The sketches are often labelled in my files as “ghetto sketch of photobooth” or “ghetto sketch of chandelier wall”, and “diagram ghetto”. Yet I still love pulling out these old drawings to compare them to the real life production of something made up in the stirrings of my brain.

A recent wedding trend we’ve fully embraced is the art of super-styling out the backdrop to a photo opp moment for wedding guests. Instead of the old dreary backdrop of a photobooth, an entire scene is set to create interesting interactive imagery. For this particular wedding we hired A Little Scene Flipbook to create their fabulous little flipbooks assembled on-site. Up to me, was the styling of the backdrop. We decided our stylish bride needed a glamorous looking boudoir. With the help of Archive Vintage Rentals and Concepts draping I made my drawing come to life.

Valentine’s Day Sweetness

February 14, 2013   |   Posted in:

Hearts, sweet treats, lush flowers, oh my! Who wouldn’t swoon over an elegant Valentine’s Day wedding? Today we share our super sized Valentine’s inspired shoot with not one but two tabletops. For a family oriented bride and groom we made sure the children’s table is just as thoughtful as the artfully designed sweet table.

Dessert Table
The grown up dessert table is filled with scrumptious eye candy. The quintessential pinks and reds are elevated with pops of gold set upon a glossy white table. From the white milk vases packed tightly with baby’s breath, to the soft pink garden roses, to the glamorous gold urn brimming with white textured roses, the flowers look good enough to eat thanks to Annette Gomez. For the sweet tooth Bouchee gifted our sweethearts with gold heart shaped mini cakes, a rose filled naked wedding cake, macaroons, rose meringues, and stamped sugar cookies.

Arts & Crafts Kids’s Table
We are always looking for interesting ways to entertain the younger guests at weddings. Why not create an art buffet ready for little fingers to grab handfuls? We spare the parents the crash of the sugar rush and created an art filled children’s table for the kiddos to make their own Valentine’s cards. Apothecary jars are filled to the brim with pom poms, glitter, and other delicious looking art supplies to inspire their creativity.

No Valentines Day wedding would be complete without a smattering of hearts everywhere, and sweet sayings on happy paper goods tucked in every nook and cranny. Oh Brightly Designed, how we love YOU!

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day!

Special thanks to Concepts Event Design for letting us capture this adorable shoot in their dreamy sun filled studio!
