Sadly, the end of summer is upon us – but that doesn’t mean we have to let go completely. Relive the time of year when blooms are bright and bountiful with this styled shoot by Ashley Berryessa from Love + You Photography . Here’s what Ashley had to say about the shoot:

This shoot was the collaboration of tons of amazing vendors! The planning of this shoot was the creative vision of Logan of LCM Weddings and Events. The venue was the first thing on the list and it was a no-brainier that we wanted to use Woodinville Lavender which is a local wedding venue in Woodinville, WA that is well known for intimate weddings and has beautiful fields of lavender. (Yes, it smells amazing and the bees are actually very friendly!).

We wanted our vibe to be very boho but also modern. We had a custom leather jacket made by Once Upon a Lauren that matched our beautiful dress from Laineemeg Bridal perfectly. We had beautiful tropical inspired florals from Sublime Stems. She decorated the arbor as well as the table which I personally loved. It was simple but stunning at the same time. To add to the arbor we had a custom made macrame backdrop from Collectanea which was just the perfect addition for our boho vibe!

All the vendors involved were amazing to work with and their contribution to this shoot was priceless!

Your dream wedding is now becoming a reality: the date is set and the venue is booked. It’s time to let your nearest and dearest know the deets! Ideally, save-the-dates are sent out four months before the wedding (and eight to 12 months if you’re having a destination wedding) and along with sharing necessary info , they’re a great way to get guests excited about your upcoming nuptials. From a whimsical,  frame-worthy card featuring a custom couple portrait to a glamorous vintage-esque postcard, these unique save the dates will help set the tone for your big day.

Today’s stunning styled shoot was photographed by Erica Leman, owner and lead photographer for Sweet Alice Photography. Here’s what Erica had to say about the shoot:

The Hudson Valley is quickly becoming a great psuedo-destination spot for weddings – especially for individuals who live in the New York City area. Hudson Valley weddings are traditionally less expense (and less chaotic!) than NYC weddings, and provide such beautiful idyllic backgrounds for gorgeous wedding days. This area of New York is known for its rolling hills, expansive farmlands, wineries, and a simpler, quieter way of life – without having to use outhouses for bathrooms (haha).

This styled shoot was put together and styled primarily by Lavender & Leaf Designs with assistance from Sweet Alice Photography. While Sara from Lavender & Leaf  primarily offers wedding florals, she also offers some vintage rentals for use by her clients. Chamonix Bride provided the wedding gown (Ti-adora by Allison Webb, style 7708), and BW Bridal and Makeup Artistry by Jillian provided hair and makeup. The couple were previous wedding clients of Sweet Alice Photography, who loved getting pictures done so much so that they were excited to go for another round of them months after their original wedding date. The venue is a new barn venue in Lagrangeville, NY named the Ryan Family Farm that provides access to an on-site industrial kitchen for catering, built-in restrooms, and table and chair rentals so that couples don’t have to bring in as many vendors as would traditionally be needed at a barn wedding. There are also room accommodations on-site so that bridal parties can stay in the area for a whole wedding weekend!

Baked items were provided by Amanda Bakes (donuts) and The Cakery (cake), which helped to flesh out the elopement theme of the shoot – because who wants to get married without sweets! Zimmer Brothers provided their beautiful heirloom jewelry, and Durants Party Rentals offered the ability to use their table and chairs to showcase a full table set up.
