Romantic Vintage Bridal Inspiration

I love lace, pink peonies in full bloom, and taking things just a little over-the-top. I also love combining favorite things together to create something that makes me smile from behind the camera, and that can hopefully bring something new to the table! Rachael of Eden Floral did not let me down when I requested she make a gigantic bouquet for this shoot; the words "beastly" and "monstrous" [and "smells good"!] were thrown around quite a bit, and I'm still not over how beautiful it came out! On top of that, she managed to turn a little old birdcage into a bursting floral arrangement that is a league of its own. Emily of CLICK Models was kind enough to be my imaginary bride for the afternoon, and managed to both embody my vision AND successfully guess within an hour of meeting me that I'm a vegetarian. A successful inspiration shoot? I'd say so.
