WILDFLOWERS RETREAT RECAP: A LOOK INTO THE STYLED SHOOTS

styled

THE WILDFLOWERS RETREAT WAS CREATED TO BE A WEEKEND OF REST & BEAUTY FOR CATHOLIC WEDDING VENDORS. CHECK OUT THE STYLED SHOOTS INCLUDED BELOW.

STYLED SHOOT #1: MOODY RENAISSANCE

The first styled shoot of the wildflowers retreat was at the romantic restaurant, W. A. Frost. There were 3 different flatlay/detail stations set up with stationery from Thoughtfully Yours Design and two different couples. We had an “open concept” plan, meaning they could go anywhere they wanted at any given time. No rotating, no time-restraints, just time to create wherever they felt the Lord pulling them.

STYLED SHOOT #2: SPRING ROMANCE

For the second styled shoot, Kelly and I went for a much more airy, springy vibe. We held it at Station 10 Gatherings in the late afternoon and got to sneak in a little bit of golden hour time. There were three couples this time, a hanging floral arrangement by the incredibly talented Bloomberry Floral, three flat lay stations, and a cake cutting table with strawberries.

I can’t wait for next year to create even more beauty! Stay tuned for part two, highlighting the ‘rest’ portion of the weekend.
