This Saugatuck, Michigan Styled Elopement is Filled with Classic Elements and Pops of Color

Olivia, of Olivia Anderson Photography, and Amelia, of Pair-A-Docs Rentals, wanted to plan a style shoot that was special, and it turned into quite the undertaking. "Amelia and I really strived to create unique shoots that were different than what we were seeing all over Instagram. We planned out a two-day event with four shoots of unique concepts," Olivia explains.

Despite the recent closing of the bridal boutique that Olivia and Amelia used, the brides looked amazing and dress hunting was a seamless process. The two dresses also beautifully matched the classic aesthetic that Olivia and Amelia wanted to create. Now, let's talk about that hair and makeup! Olivia gushes, "The hair done by KJ and Hairspray was perfect in giving the classic vintage vibe. Her slicked-back pony with waves accentuated her features perfectly." The pulled-back hair also  shows off her classic and natural makeup. 

Instead of a traditional venue, Olivia and Amelia opted to rent a private Air BnB in Saugatuck, Michigan. "This made the style shoot more editorial and elopement-esque," Olivia says. We love the intimate feel that the smaller venue brings to this shoot. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces allowed for the creative team to curate a truly unique design!
 

"We wanted to do an inside tablescape on the covered porch and outdoor tablescape on the lawn. It was gorgeous weather!" Olivia raves. "Amelia, the owner of Pair-A-Docs Rentals, and the cohost of this event is the rental mastermind. She completely crafted a unique vision for every tablescape." The team wanted to incorporate pops of color to everything, as well. We are obsessed with the antique-looking china used in this shoot as well as the floral and fruit accents along the tablescapes!
 

Unfortunately, the original watercolor stationery printed blurry on the day of the shoot, so Amelia created another style as a back-up. We think both the watercolor stationery and plain paper stationery look stunning and bring different vibes into the shoot. The vinyl place cards are another modern and trendy item that blends beautifully on the tablescapes. The box for the wedding rings is also such a unique touch!
