This blogpost is the second post of a series of 4 showcasing the joint vision and work of several local NJ wedding industry vendors. I organized the shoot and gave the group minimal inspiration/direction and they each brought their own aesthetic to the table. I am incredibly thrilled with the outcome and so impressed with the team that I was able to work with on this project. Below the images are the credits, a description of the contributions from each vendor, so if there is something that you like and would like more information about having at your own wedding, please feel free to reach out to us.

The concept for this wedding design concept was a rustic spring garden wedding incorporating teapots, birds, denim and lace, soft blue and pink tones. The bride featured below wore a gold and white high/low dress that I found on ebay. The flowers were styled by an amazing floral designer friend of mine, Alyson. Alyson also built the wedding arch from scratch and then decorated it with hanging flowers and feathers. We completed the look by draping a piece of lace material over the back to keep the soft, spring garden feel to the alter. Again, many of the little details were purchased at my local HomeGoods store. The invitation suite was custom designed by an amazing local designer, Kelli. The final images listed below are of a mock sweetheart table at The Mill in Spring Lake Heights, NJ. The Mill is one of my favorite local venues to photograph weddings. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the grounds are stunning. All of our concepts were photographed here so you can see that your vision can completely change the look of the venue if you have the right details.

I personally love rustic, boho wedding stylings and always loved the look of denim and lace together in a laid back, garden wedding setting. This year, I noticed that cork and denim were very popular on Pinterest and in my local craft stores so we went with adding some of those elements into the mock sweetheart table. My vision for this concept was a casual afternoon wedding. Please reach out to me with any questions or feel free to comment below if you adore these ideas.
