Berry Glamour Wedding Styled Shoot in Chicago

Our Berry Glamour Styled Shoot has been published in Modern Luxury Wedding Magazine, Chicago, June 2021 edition.

My inspiration for this glamorous yet heartfelt styled shoot came from the world we were forced to live in. COVID put everything in perspective, and after months of being home, we all needed a clean and refreshing environment. I was personally craving for air, vibrant colours, open spaces where the sky is the limit, and you can let your imagination free. Hope for the future.

At the same time, I also wanted to include our roots, our feelings, our families, and our comfort we were forced to be far from. That’s why I wanted to contrast the very modern and clean lines with rich, deep, and hearty colours from berries and blooms in their original habitats, the woods.

The spotlight was on a gorgeous and modern bloom, a hot pink protea. Unique and sexy, which we highlighted with balloon installations and contrasted with timeless and romantic roses and ranunculus.

I selected a few gorgeous wedding gowns to reflect the modern vibe with unique details.

The groom wore a burgundy velvet tux for the ceremony to perfectly match the blush wedding gown, which has an amazing bow on the back, romantic and elegant.

For the reception, the couple changed into a sexier look as the groom wore a navy tux with a unique boutonniere arrangement, and the bride had a stunning lace gown, stylish and sophisticated.

We created a decadent dessert table with mini donuts covered in red raspberry icing and used fresh blueberries, fondant flowers, and edible gold paint for an enticing display with varied textures and sheens. The miniature cloches created a uniquely elegant presentation and also served to shelter the donuts from exposure to potential contaminants. Vintage glass serving pieces added to the richness and glamour of the completed display featuring an outstanding and unique wedding cake.
