The minute we saw these stunning sun-kissed photos from Lauren Fair’s workshop at Green Door Gourmet in Nashville, we were in head over heels in love. We don’t know if it’s the feminine color palette of yellow, pink, lilac, linen and honey or the ethereal Monique Lhuillier gown or the trendy champagne cart – but something about this editorial designed by RSVP Events just keeps us coming back for more. Take one look at Melissa Broadwell’s unfinished arbor and you’ll totally get it. But that’s enough out of us, go see for yourself…
From Lauren Fair Photography… Stealing kisses beneath the trees with your love, the warmth of the sun, lying in a field of wildflowers. Inspired by softness and femininity, our team dreamt this sun-kissed editorial to capture the feeling of a summer romance. Hues of bright pink, peach, and happy yellow are softened by hues of linen, blush, lilac, and hints of honey create a color palette of femininity and warmth.
Our editorial takes place in the fields of Green Door Gourmet amid a sea of yellow wildflowers, the intimate ceremony framed by a broken arbor by Melissa Broadwell, lush with lavender clematis, distant drum roses, jasmine, butter yellow roses, and peach lisianthus. Our bride’s hair is adorned with fresh blooms, and she wears Amie by Monique Lhuillier, a silk sheath gown with an embellished tulle plunging illusion v-neck with flutter sleeves and a sweet velvet bow at her waist.
Her bridal shoes, embroidered lace mules and luminous pearl heels tied with silk bows by Bella Belle Shoes, are perfectly ladylike, adding a feeling of sweetness. Fluttery French lace lingerie makes up her trousseau, with a romantic French Chantilly lace skirt. Our paper goods by Ink & Press Co. Are the perfect first impression, with romantic gold calligraphy, deckled edges, botanical gold wax seals, and a floral envelope liner, and the scrolled place cards add a hint of elegance to each place setting. At the reception, ivory candles dot a buttery linen, with blooms spilling from footed brass vessels.
Lilacs, ranunculus, poppies, clematis, snap dragons, peach parrot tulips, and jasmine drape across antique crystal. Ivory chargers carved in feminine detail frame plates trimmed in lace. Menus are the sweetest blush hue and calligraphed in gold lettering, and accented with a sprig of clematis and jasmine, tied with a peach fluttering ribbon. You can’t go wrong with champagne on tap!
In addition to the champagne cart, the bar featured two signature drinks: Love Potion with prosecco, blackberry syrup, and thyme and a Raspberry Champagne Float with raspberry sorbet, champagne, and fresh raspberries.
