Happy Friday! I'm so excited to be able to share the second part of the photo shoot I did last Sunday with my sister-in-laws. Please welcome the newest Mrs. Todero to the blog! Arianna and Zack married in May of this year in a beautiful ceremony at 30 North in Pontiac. For this shoot we decided to go a little bolder with color choices and still make it super girly which is Arianna's favorite. I also decided to enhance the "we're in a fancy garden" feel with a thrifted silver tea set. Here's the original inspiration board that we came up with together:
And here's how it came alive with photography from Sonshine Images. Arianna is gorgeous as ever with her hair loosely back. And her headband? Turns out her dress originally was one shoulder and she decided she'd prefer strapless for her wedding so she had her seamstress cut it off. So glad she saved it though, how lovely is it as a head piece?

We made the moss covered table numbers for Arianna's wedding, they are available to be used for your wedding or we can DIY your own version with different color base or font for the numbers.

The flowers used in this shoot were super affordable, all from the grocery store (Kroger) or from the bush in front of my work apartment. They feature purple gladiolas, white hydrangea, pinkish-purple mums, pink statice, blue-purple limonium, and a giant hosta leaf. The table arrangement also includes a couple of white dahlias. All came to nine dollars total!
Gladiolas may just be my new favorite wedding flower for this time of year, a huge bunch is less than 3 bucks. If you did a large gladiola centerpiece (easy to arrange yourself!) you'd need 2 bunches so 6-8 dollar investment, on half of your tables, say you have 24 (240 person wedding) you're looking at $70-100 plus vases for half of your centerpieces. And they come in a wide variety of colors.
What's your favorite part? The flowers or her dress strap turned head piece? That lovely braid across her crown? Do you have suggestions for my next shoots or want to do your own Flip the Dress shoot? Let me know!
