You guys really couldn’t wait to see the rest of the photos, could you? Since my last post, I have gotten TONS of hits from search engines, using search words “white orchid part 2.” You guys are awesome! And so is Colleen! I met Colleen last January at the Bridal Show. After her work debuted at Josh & Jude’s awesome wedding, I knew I had to do a photoshoot with her. Colleen’s pieces are just off the beaten chapel aisle, and I get tickled every time one of my brides says she is working with Colleen. We have had this shoot planned for 4 months, and I really must give Colleen credit for everything. She did the set design, wardrobe and nearly did the hair, until Brynn from Loxx Salon volunteered her incredible services for us. The fabulous Christina Jarvis drove into Knoxville from Charlotte to participate in the awesomeness, and provide make up for our models. She even hung around to do touch ups on set (and her boyfriend provided security!)–THANK YOU! And our stunning, beautiful, stellar models Amelia, Chloe, Corinne, Danielle and little Vienna–you are all so wonderful, thank you. They wore the layers of vintage garb without complaint (hello! noon shoot in July, they were hot!). And I can’t forget James, who came and rocked my lightstick, and helped me keep my sanity, as he does every weekend (thank you James!). Our beautiful location was the Knoxville Botanical Gardens–who are now open as a wedding venue. I am dying to shoot a wedding there.
The planning stage of this shoot was so hard, because between Colleen and I, we had a million ideas and to narrow it down proved to be tough. Thus, this is not the end of our collaborations. We are most DEFINITELY going to be doing this again, so stick around. And if you’re a bride looking for something a 100% custom that you can’t find at a corporate bridal super store (and, um, you won’t see another bride wearing, EVER!) . . .
you need to call Colleen. Now.
Leave some love!
