One look at those ombré floral centerpieces from Kate Fiore Floral Design and stunning blue patterned linen and that was it – we were in love. Lustre Theory Styling + Design wow’d us with each unique detail of this shoot – from watercolor lemon place cards to the hand-painted ceremony backdrop. Check out the full gallery of images captured on film by Molly Lichten Photography to get inspired.
From Lustre Theory Styling + Design… This same sex wedding shoot is about celebrating love in all its forms with amazing citrus tones and accents of blues. The real same sex couple in this shoot had just been married a few months before and were thrilled to participate. You can see their happiness and genuine joy come through in the images.
This shoot is full of personalized details for the couple, including calligraphy with their names on the drink bottles along with the saying “always love is love” and also the invitation suite which was tailored for them. The Historic Post Office is a unique historical venue located in downtown Hampton, VA. Once an actual post office it has now been transformed into one of the most popular venues in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area.
They wanted an inspiration shoot that showed their support of marriage and love for all couples. Citrus fruits of all kinds, fresh and dried were used throughout the decor and paired with a citrus ombre floral theme that moves down the table and is used throughout the shoot. These images are full of natural light and brightness. Accents of blue patterned linen, and antique porcelain pieces were paired with all the smile inducing color and fruit. The invitation suite is a botanical citrus theme, with handmade paper and custom white calligraphy.
The stamps, color choices and accents were all specifically chosen for this stationery and paired with florals and bespoke flat lay props. There are many delicate styling choices I made in this editorial but I wanted to make sure some masculine features were also present to represent our grooms. Wood chargers and heavier velvet navy napkins were used in the table settings along with His + His vow books! I really love that this is an all male shoot! Something you don’t see very often. But the styling and decor is something everyone can take inspiration from.
