Old World European Romance Wedding Inspiration

This inspiration from Ivy & Stone Photography and Fuse Weddings and Events is a 21st Century fairytale with former Bachelor contestant Michelle Money starring as its princess. Full of romantic touches—like the gorgeous Plum Pretty Sugar robe, pale blue gown, lush flowers and damask La Tavola linens—this photo shoot is fit for a modern princess. But instead of a glass slipper, I’ll take that stunning Opal and diamond ring from Trumpet and Horn. Live happily ever after in the gallery.

From Ivy & Stone PhotographyFor this project, we drew from European inspiration, drawing on various hues of dreamy blue and creamy neutrals. We wanted it to feel like you walked into a beautiful old French chateau, with ivy covered walls and ornate detailing.

We used a misty blue gown from Anne Barge. The gown was absolutely amazing! We even discovered, towards the end of the shoot, that it had pockets:) The hair styling was also french inspired with intricate twists making up the back of the hair. The style was enhanced by a beautiful piece provided by Myra Callan of Twigs and Honey.

We choose a vintage engagement ring by Trumpet and Horn. It was a victorian-aged blue stone and matched perfectly with the dress.

The table-scape was amazing! Covered with blue and cream floral linen and fine china, it felt like you were whisked away to a beautiful European retreat! We choose to use a cream sette garnished with simple draping greens. We also had hand-painted Bride and Groom signs to add a personal touch.

The florals were amazing! We used fresh garden roses in hues of citrus and lavender. The bouquet was of similar design, tied together with beautiful Silk and Willow ribbon.

Plum Pretty Sugar’s bridal robe was a perfect fit to start off any girl’s wedding day! The white silk robe was the perfect touch of feminine and pretty. We paired the robe with a tulle veil from Twigs and Honey. The veil was shoulder length and has different types of textures, which creates a depth to the piece.

The invitation suite was all hand written calligraphy by Karli Noel Caligraphy. It was done in gold lettering with accents of gold leaves. The envelope was a powder blue and had vintage stamps placed on it.

Our beautiful model is Michelle Money, formerly on the bachelor. She was a perfect fit for our romantic shoot!

The team assembled for this shoot was amazing and we hope you love the images as much as we do!
