to say i was beyond honored was an understatement.  when i received the invitation to shoot charlotte wedding magazine’s upcoming editorial feature i was ecstatic.  charlotte wedding is an up and coming north carolina wedding magazine that is chock-full of marital goodness.  from bridal fashion, diy ideas, and lots of decor inspiration, no wonder it can’t stay on the shelf!

the idea of this editorial was to pull inspiration from the series mad men, a 1960′s tv series featured on amc.  from skinny ties, retro jewels, & birdcage veils, the styling team of charlotte wedding took us back to a time when chic was the epitomy of style.  collaborating with the 1960′s styling, the charmed event, a hot hot hot wedding & event design company, added touches of whimsy to the shoot by incorporating throwback classics consisting of hip save the date cards, a vintage cocktail mini-bar, & a retro candy bar (i especially loved the candy cigarettes, which i haven’t seen in ages!  totally took me back to being a kid!!!)  delectables by holly created a unique 1960′s fare of mini beef wellington, oysters on the half shell, classic shrimp coctail, and so much more! and let us not forget the GORGEOUS cake made by my friend and fellow wedding vendor,  johnathan davis, owner of crumbs couture, YUMMY!   AND the AMAZING florals by todd crawford, of crawford & company florists…those poppies were to die for!!!  the shoot went on from early in the morning til later in the afternoon.  we hopped, skipped and jumped all over charlotte.  from south 21, the diamond, fuel pizza, to the charlotte city club…i loved our locations!  good times my friends…good times…

to all the ladies from charlotte wedding…THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of such a cool & fun project.  i had a blast and can’t wait to work with you all again!
