Hello, lovelies! Did you see that Ashley’s Bride Guide featured Stockroom Vintage today? Yeah, it has me in happy cartwheel mode for sure. Especially because Ashley really gets what Stockroom is all about. Not to mention, she called me “a passionate chick with an old-soul,” which is pretty much the best thing ever. But enough about me. Let’s talk vintage styling. You can read more about my inspiration for the wedding inspiration shoot (and see tons more photos) on Ashley’s Bride Guide, but here’s the gist. Aside from vintage, I’m obsessed with three things: Kate Spade. Gold confetti. And graphic black-and-white prints (chevron love!).

So when I began to plan this Kate Spade-inspired shoot, which was photographed at WestLight Studios in downtown Nashville, I knew I wanted the perfect mix of quirk, sparkle and girly glamor. So I splashed the walls with gold polka dots, hand painted gold glittery spots on the dinner plates and made tons of confetti. I basically wanted it to look like a gold confetti cannon had dusted the place in shimmery goodness…in the most artful way imaginable.

Yards and yards of black-and-white fabric and tons of DIY arrangements featuring ranunculus, tulips and other big pink blooms from Import Flowers completed the look. Of course, the shoot wouldn’t have been nearly as special without photographer and friend Stef Atkinson at my side. Aside from her obvious talent, Stef brings a lightness to every shoot. She’s the kind of photographer who will dance and DJ, all while sneaking bites of rock candy from your styled dessert table. Basically, she’s a fun lady who you would’ve invited anyway…even if she wasn’t capturing the most beautiful moments ever. Really, she is the queen of amazing vignette snapshots.
So, I hope you all enjoy checking out this shoot as much as I loved putting it all together. Thanks again to Ashley’s Bride Guide for the love. Be sure to mosey on over to the full blog post for more photos from the shoot and to read the Q&A, in which I blather endlessly about how much I adore vintage and appreciate the opportunity to share it all with you.
P.S. When you see the dessert table in the shoot photos, be sure to ogle the artisan marshmallows from the super-talented folks at The Bang Candy Company. We couldn’t wait for the shoot to end so we could finally gobble them up!
xoxo, Elizabeth
