2020 Style Shoot Design Contest Submission: An Organic, Celestial Garden Celebration

The great outdoors has never looked so chic in this submission to our 2020 Style Shoot Design Contest! Katie Doehrmann, the owner of Moonlit Designs LLC, created a stunning style shoot while following current COVID-19 regulations. “I knew I wanted to do something enchanted or celestial-like because the natural greenery we have seen this year has been magical,” Katie says. Scroll on and take a step into the wonderland her team has created!

Creating a beautiful event while staying accessible was the main goal in mind when Katie chose a venue. Setting up this shoot at a park kept it absolutely free, and gave the shoot’s aesthetic strong garden party vibes.

Moss was used in giving an organic feel to the tablescape. Other wildflowers, such as Queen Anne’s Lace and Leather Leaf, help the floral arrangements look like they could have been picked straight from the field. Blue Thistle brought out tones of Classic Blue, the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year, without overpowering the rest of the shoot’s color scheme. 

We love that this model’s hair was kept au naturale. Katie gushes, “Her wavy hair acted as a beautiful mane. This paired perfectly with her crown.” Her makeup was lightly tinted in gold to touch on the celestial theme but was otherwise kept simple to enchant her natural beauty. Katie chose a gown that was simple, yet delicate, keeping accessibility in mind. She explains, “We wanted to make this a wedding that was accessible to anyone, even in a pandemic.”

The team wanted Classic Blue, the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year, to take center stage. You can see it popping throughout the napkins, tablecloths, floral dog wagon and groom’s tie. “It helped bring the celestial theme to life without clashing with the vibrant greens of the forest and moss,” Katie notes.

This cake is giving us all the Grecian vibes we could ever ask for. Keeping on the trends for the year, this confection has lots of dazzling gold drizzles. And these galaxy-inspired cupcakes come complete with golden and silver stars. Make a wish! 
 

The tablescape comes to life with gold and silver Grecian inspiration. Decorated with large vases holding large topiary balls, tall silver candelabras, and an abundance of fairy lights, this enchanted setting is sure to take your breath away.
