A Fresh Arrangement: A Style Shoot That Transforms Chaos Into Beauty

the VISION

Every space has its own story that can be incorporated into your special day. This style shoot “A Fresh Arrangement” plays with turning ordinary, every day spaces and the chaos within them into a fresh, personalized event. 

 

 

 

the venues

Katherine Coplen of Nuvo said it best: “Locally Grown Gardens is a collection of what’s best in life, culled from a lifetime of caring deeply about ingredients, aesthetics and community.” A chef-owned and -operated farmers’ market, Locally Grown Gardens and the Surroundings were the venues of choice because this idea of lovingly curating a space and what is inside is exactly what we love to see in every wedding!

 

 

 

the dress & Accessories

Each gown was selected for its classic lines and more modern, organic textures. The intent was for a look that was high fashion but also sophisticated and modern.

 

 

 

the decor

We simply played with the beautiful chaos within an everyday space. Simple decor was implemented to magnify the elegance while still letting the inherent elements take center stage. The arrangements were designed to be fused with the already-present decor to give a new, more sophisticated look to the space, while still maintaining the organic nature of both spaces.

 

 

 

the makeup

Keeping with the bright, airy and feminine feel of the locations, the makeup colors were chosen to keep the look very soft and feminine. Peaches, warm neutrals, and plums were used to enhance the bride’s eye color and to coordinate with the colors in the floral arrangements.

 

 

 

the hair

Because we wanted a timeless look and for the details of the accessories to emerge, all of our brides wore their hair swept off their face.

 

 

 

the dessert

The dessert took on a new twist with bite-size whoopie pies. These handheld desserts were a delicate fusion between elegant macarons and simple cupcakes.

 

 

 

the floral

All of the floral arrangements were selected based on what was in season. This methodology ensures that each event is unique and allows for the most beautiful selection available each week. This floral work was a collaborative effort with nature and seasonal flower choices to keep each look fresh and relevant. 

 

A Fresh Arrangement used roses and garden roses for their subtle color range. Ruffled petals were blended with spring beauties like bleeding heart, foxglove, bridal wreath spirea, poppies and other natural spring foliages—all the tender, delicate textures that are only available seasonally. Fluffy favorites like peonies and ranunculus were outstanding in the season and added just the right amount of texture to blend with the spaces.
