We’re savoring these last sweet weeks of spring with this floral-inspired shoot that is equal parts soft and feminine. Blue Rose Photography took inspiration from the ever-romantic camellia flower and transformed Christianson’s Nursery into a charming venue with a secret garden allure. Filled with mauve-hued blooms, the property is a gorgeous backdrop for an outdoor celebration and an enchanting fairytale gown – like the featured design by Liz Martinez Bridal. For a more intimate dinner, Elle and James Co.’s earthy yet feminine tablescape – inside the historic onsite schoolhouse – exudes a soft, romantic ambiance. Wander through the full gallery to experience beauty in full-bloom.
From Blue Rose Pictures… Spring is always a time when I am filled with inspiration. Its the season of new beginnings, the season to come out of hiding and be creative ! Of all the beautiful flowers spring brings, Camellias are one of my all time favorites.
I wanted to create an ultra feminine floral inspired wedding shoot up at one of the best little hidden gems of a venue ( Christiansons Nursery in Mount Vernon WA) They have the most gorgeous landscaped property with greenhouses, plants, camellias galore, and the cutest historic school house. You can have your ceremony in the schoolhouse followed by a reception in the garden. Or, like we did for this shoot, you could create a more intimate dinner in the schoolhouse for a smaller wedding.
Alyssa from Elle and James Co created an earthy yet feminine and soft dinner table. With different colored taper candles and pearl flatware. We used a lot of mauves and pinks throughout the styling to fill the images with a soft romantic feeling. The dress was really the star of the show here. It is a Liz Martinez gown from one of my favorite bridal shops in the Seattle area, Idina Bride. It has just the right amount of sheer to create a sexy allure but then it has the off the shoulder poof sleeves that add romance and fairytale.
