2021 Style Shoot Design Contest Finalist: A Wild Lake Michigan Sunset Beach Elopement

This exotic bohemian beach elopement was inspired by the complications COVID has brought to elopements. “With COVID couples have had to forfeit their destination weddings and decrease their guest count. This shoot shows couples the perfect way to celebrate as if you are eloping in the tropics,” Brittany from 1945 Event Co. raves. The creative team wanted to bring the tropics to the beach!

You can’t have a jungle without plenty of leopard print, bold colors and greenery! The team also wanted to combine multiple textures to the scene to create a fun and inviting environment. One of their favorite designs is the colorful plates and place settings to make an ombre effect as you move down the table.

The dessert table is a highlight of the shoot. Brittany explains, “There were two specialty cocktails available for guests as well as assorted fun colored macarons, candies and the perfect simple beachy cake topped with a tropical flower for the bride and groom to cut.”

Silk flowers made up the bouquet and boutonniere. Rich tropical greens and white hydrangeas made up both the bouquet and the floral detail on the triangular arbor.

The creative team went a differentroute with the bridal attire. Instead of a traditional dress, they leaned into the beachy theme with a bathing suit and cover-up! For the bride's makeup and hair, the team kept it fun with waves and bright eye makeup. They also added a flower crown for some of the shots to bring a more boho feel to it.
