Elegant White & Gold Styled Shoot

Written by
Megan McCarty Taylor Ellsworth

This stunning styled shoot mixes lace, off-white, cream, foliage and gold elements with clean lines for an overall aesthetic that breathes modernity into an eternally popular brand of bridal romanticism. My favorite thing about spring weddings is the ability to incorporate elements of both winter's drama and the lightheartedness of summer - embodied in this shoot by the muted, (nearly) all-white palette against which a lively blend of floral decor is displayed.  An off-white linen tablecloth, draped with a rose and foliage floral runner and topped with gold-rimmed cut crystal, a plethora of candles, and gold flatware make a lovely setting for an intimate garden affair or an indoor winter elopement. A dynamic bridal floral arrangement that blends white, dusty rose, touches of seafoam and wild, undone-looking foliage brings a trendy yet organic feel to the bride's understated sweetheart gown with a lacy illusion neckline.

From the photographer:

"For this elegant styled shoot we focused on a classic color palette of white and gold, with neutral vintage furniture from Classic Vintage Rentals, gold-rimmed vintage plates that I discovered at an antique store, and beautiful hand-scripted calligraphy invites. We infused this basic palette with a sense of romance by adding a floral crown of wax flowers for our bride, and creamy and rosy hues seen in the florals, linens, and calligraphy.

We wanted to create an aura of romance and beauty while sourcing local vendors, and we are so excited to have accomplished that with amazing professionals primarily local to Portland and surrounding areas. Kim of Swoon Floral Design created the gorgeous floral valence featuring hydrangea, roses and wax flower. Our makeup artist Jein King created an elegant updo that transferred easily into a loose braid and the Leanne Marshall dress provided a two look option for brides with its lacy jacket overlay."
