Today’s romantic inspiration shoot from the fabulous Taralynn Lawton exudes elegance and chic Provence charm! Set in the gardens of the gorgeous Rose Story Farm; with flowers from A Splendid Occasion, gowns by Emily Riggs Bridal and a simple yet enticing courtyard tablescape, all impeccably styled by Tinge Floral; it is my idea of modern-vintage heaven and I am a little giddy at being able to share it with you! So, grab a cuppa, sit back and don’t even think about starting work for just another hour (or so) whilst you take in every detail of this flawless creation…..

Looking at the grounds of Rose Story Farm near Santa Barbara, abundant with lush lavender, you are instantly transported to a village in Provence, a setting that perfectly fits this vision of an intimate modern-vintage wedding, full of old world elegance and romance. Drawing from the most beautiful colour palette of blush paired with vintage greens and a muted grey,  Michael Radford and Ashley Beyer of Tinge Floral, alongside a wonderfully talented team, created this romantic garden wedding inspiration for their Film & Flora workshop. Pairing gorgeous gowns with ethereal veils from Emily Riggs Bridal, and simple but elegant place settings with richly gathered, organic floral arrangements (reminiscent of Victorian floral oil paintings) from A Splendid Occasion, they infused a simple garden venue with a touch of opulence. Each and every detail has been perfectly captured by Taralynn Lawton, and her images drenched in dreamy Southern California light are enough to make any bride weak at the knees! I hope you have your pinning finger ready…..

A huge thankyou to the whole creative team below, and especially to Taralynn Lawton for capturing everything so beautifully, and of course for allowing me to share her work with you here. You can see more of her beautiful fine art photography on her website taralynnlawton.com as well as on her blog. If you love her work as much as I do, do remember to follow her on Facebook, Instagram, Google+ & Pinterest. Oh and keep an eye out on Chic Vintage Brides, as I very much hope this is the first of many posts featuring her work!
