Let Them Eat Cake

“We had a beautiful dream and that was all.” – Marie Antoinette

Styled shoots are one of my favorite means of creative expression so when a dear friend asked me to collaborate on a Marie Antoinette styled shoot, I jumped at the chance. Ashley, owner of iamlatreuo, is a talented photographer and has been blessed with an eye for all things beautiful. She has the ability to find splendor in the smallest details and her portfolio is overflowing with gorgeous shots.

The days leading up to the shoot were filled with daydreams of delicate blushes, champagne bubbles, and sugary sweets. The night before, we found ourselves elbow-deep in fresh florals and faced with the impossible task of narrowing our options to create a small set of bouquets. Our finished products would make any royal proud and featured blush and cream blooms with hints of green. The elegant floral centerpieces and bridal bouquet were the handiwork of H & S Floral Design.

The gorgeous, hand-lettered signage that accented our tables are the handiwork of the lovely and talented Febe of Eternal Calligraphy & Design. From the hand-painted acrylic table signage to the gilded invitation suite and name cards (complete with hand-set gold leaf!), her work added the perfect touch to our tablescapes.

Finally, a Marie Antoinette styled shoot would not be complete without some sugar. These gorgeous (and delicious!) treats were created by the talented Angie Wright.
