Ever After Wedding Inspiration by Kristen Booth Photography

About the shoot: "We poured our hearts into this shoot and are sooo excited to be a part of this contest! :) Ever After was the obvious choice for me, because of my love for fairytales. I watched the movie several times throughout the planning, to draw inspiration. While I fell in love with the detail and majestic feel of the masquerade scene and felt it was appropriate for a wedding, I realized that the most romantic scenes of the movie were actually shared in the more earthy and wilderness settings. Therefore, my team and I decided to create a perfect marriage of the two looks. The centerpiece was wild and earthy, while the linens and table settings were royal and elaborate...our bride's dress was inspired by Danielle's "Just breathe" moment as she entered the ball, while the hair was derived from Danielle's more natural and everyday look. The combination of these different elements came together for what we hoped to be a magical and whimsical shoot, with a hint of royalty. One interesting detail I would like to point out, is that I made the dress. As I began searching for something for our bride to wear, I became frustrated because I knew what I wanted and couldn't find it. So I came up with the CRAZY idea to MAKE the dress, even though I have no formal sewing knowledge or experience. I purchased a very plain dress off of eBay, then proceeded to make it an off-the-shoulder cut, add lace sleeves, and cover the whole gown with lace, tulle, and detailing. I did this all by hand and was really happy with the results. Our team was made up of Fascinare who did the bouquet, centerpiece and hanging floral chandelier, Etablir shop who provided the linen, table settings, mirror, and various other pieces, KM paperie on paper goods, Love ‘Em Sweet did the cake, and Katey-Bug Browne did the the hair. I made the dress and boutouneirre."

Moonrise Kingdom Wedding Inspiration by Daniel Cruz Photography

About the shoot: "We picked the movie Moonrise Kingdom because we wanted to take a quirky love story between two preteens during the 1960s and translate it into something that is more elegant and modern for today's couples. So many elements jumped off the screen that were perfect for creating a whimsical outdoor wedding: peter pan collars, campground aesthetics and treats, vintage lanterns and books-- the list goes on! Sam and Suzy ran away together in the movie, so we envisioned a romantic elopement as the inspiration for our shoot. After assembling our team of talented vendors, we chose to shoot in the mountains to achieve a type of woodsy feel, and to introduce the signature color palette in the movie. 

Each member was hand picked for their strengths, and we couldn't have picked any better. Collette Budd of Brier Rose Design is a woman of many talents! She produced the beautiful floral work, as well as all of the baked goods. Furthermore, she provided all of the prop design! Ashley Faria of Patterns On Walls did an amazing job with our the wardrobe pieces. Being a set designer as well, she was gracious enough to lend a hand with the making of some of the props! Ashley Jael Wheatley of Ashley Jael Hair and Makeup is GOLD. We were glad to have her along, as she does such incredible hair and makeup each time we work with her. 

Through the efforts of our entire team, we are able to introduce to you our version of Moonrise Kingdom. Enjoy!"
