This Grand Rapids Styled Elopement has Boho, Vintage and Modern Touches

The idea for this shoot originated from Larissa Antaya, the photographer and planner of this shoot. She wanted to create something that was bohemian with both vintage and modern details. We think the creative team pulled together a beautiful shoot that reflects Larissa's idea perfectly.
 

It was the vintage and bohemian elements of the venue that led Larissa and her team to select it for the location for their style shoot. The white walls, large windows and wood floors make this space a completely blank slate to create whichever design you want. The hardwood floors helped the team create a boho vibe, and the windows provided plenty of natural lighting to fill the space!
 

As for the bride's dress, the team was actually torn between two dresses and had to make a difficult decision. They chose this beautiful gown, and we can see why! The delicate floral details in the design are perfect for the bohemian theme while the style of the bodice is modern and the silhouette is very classic. The bride's hair and makeup were kept rather simple to accent her natural beauty. Another touch of modernity comes in with the color of the groom's suit as a warm brown tone. 
 

One of our favorite details is the various décor items that the team used around the shoot. The venue allows rentals of some of their vintage and boho furniture while the team brought in some of their own collections to inject some modernity into the scene with a hint of moodiness, too. Some of our favorite features are the macrame decoration hanging behind the arbor and the vintage piano the couple poses in front of!
 

You can't have a proper boho shoot without plenty of floral details, so the team made sure to incorporate flowers of various colors, sizes and textures to boost the boho side of the shoot. Some of our favorite floral arrangements are the ones tangled around the lighting fixtures in the venue. Another creative touch is how the team utilized a floral patterned couch to tie the décor together!
