Who would have thought that the fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood” would make the most romantic subject for some seriously stunning wedding inspiration? Today’s styled shoot, beautifully captured by  Joielala, is not only a masterclass on how to theme your wedding without it looking like fancy dress party, but also the perfect start to this week’s countdown to Valentines Day!…..

The combination of the exquisite florals in rich shades of red from Leaf it to Lexi, the tablescape and cake table created by Couture Events that entices with a rustic beauty, and the lace-edged and hooded ethereal red bridal cape; all set against a backdrop of the gorgeous green hues of the Del Mar Country Club in California that evoke the lush forest of the fairytale; is nothing short of magical! It’s all too easy to get lost in this dreamy shoot and I for one am more than happy to!…..

Don’t you just love it?? Every single fabulous detail captures the magic of the fairytale perfectly (without the slightest hint of a cheesey theme) and yet it has all the romance and style any modern bride could ask for. It reminds me of just why I love inspiration shoots (and fairytales!) so much. A huge thankyou to the whole ridiculously talented creative team (listed below) who brought this beauty to life, especially Joielala Photography for capturing it all so exquisitely and for allowing me to share it on Chic Vintage Brides. If you love this shoot as much as I do, do pop over to the Joielala website www.joielala.com to see more of their wonderful photography, and don’t forget to follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.

For more creative and beautiful wedding inspiration shoots perfect for Valentines Day take a peek at this 1960s inspired love shoot, and this Parisian charmer with a vintage Vespa, or this boho vintage beauty. Oh and this romantic Venice elopement (with another stunning hooded cape) is one you wont want to miss!
