styled shoot

Unlike many wedding blogs, we don’t run a ton of styled shoots — photo shoots that use models instead of real couples — for reasons addressed here. That said, once a month or so, we see a shoot that’s so full of gorgeousness and lovely ideas that we feel compelled to share it. If you’re a photographer who would like to submit your styled shoot, click here.

Wait until you spy the floral fauxhawk at this cake + punch wedding

Wait until you spy the floral fauxhawk at this cake and punch wedding inspiration

We’ve long been huge fans of the budget-friendly, totally retro-style cake and punch reception. In addition to saving mad cash, it’s infinitely customizable: think cupcakes and soda, donuts and champagne, appetizers and signature mocktails, and the South Park classic, punch and pie.

We spied this gorgeous cake and punch styled reception with its floral fauxhawk, work of art cake, floral jewelry, handmade coasters, estate jewelry, and tattoos and knew it would be a fab example of the concept done super well.

This Twin Peaks wedding shoot knows everyone and nothing is what it seems

This Twin Peaks wedding inspiration knows everyone and nothing is what it seems

This Twin Peaks wedding inspiration had little nods to one of our favorites TV shows (both old and new!) with the themed invitations, cocktail choice (coffee, natch!), ceremony backdrop, outfits, menus, table settings, and cake design. It’s a game to try to spot all of the references and homages to the world of Twin Peaks.

Don’t miss the detail in the two sides of Twin Peaks: the colorful dream sequence and the woodland scenes…

Elegantly gorgeous Harry Potter wedding decor

Elegantly gorgeous Harry Potter wedding inspiration (with a cake to die for!)

This Harry Potter photo shoot came about because Tiffany and Brett wanted to get the wedding photos they never got when they were married. Tiffany is a huge Potterphile (as so many of you are!), so a Harry Potter theme was a no-brainer. You’ll most definitely want to see the stationery adorned with the Hogwarts crest and the Howarts-themed cake (a serious work of art!). But mostly it’s just drop-dead gorgeous and eye candy for days. Let’s get a full look at this beautiful Harry Potter wedding inspiration from which you can totally steal ideas!

Chile, Burning Man, and coastlines merge at this multicultural anniversary session

Chile, Burning Man, and coastlines merge at this multicultural anniversary photo shoot

This couple had a multicultural anniversary photo shoot that drew inspiration from Burning Man, the Chilean circus culture to focus on something organic and natural. They incorporated both forest and ocean imagery to represent their backgrounds. Don’t miss all the color, textures, and quirkiness that represented their respective cultures including the handmade hat and headpiece, as well as the parasol, which had little hearts, typical from the Aymara from the north of Chile.
