For today’s breathtaking inspiration shoot, fine art photographer Lara Lam and the team of creatives drew inspiration from the stunning venue, the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Playing with its soft pink hue, they incorporated lush florals in similar tones, mismatched bridesmaid dresses and an elegant  tablescape laid, alongside beautiful calligraphy wedding stationery by Seniman Calligraphy, to create a modern vintage vision of romance…..

Kyla Gold, of Oui Events is here to tell us a little more about it “For this bridal shoot we drew our inspiration from the romantic details of the monumental Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and the swan lagoon. We kept the design fresh, simple and elegant with a mixture of blush tones accented with gold and white details. We hope to create inspirations and gift ideas for a warm and sweet gathering between the bride and bridesmaids. Often times the bridesmaids are the best friends of the bride and their love and support plays an important part. We’d like to inspire all the brides-to-be that an elegantly styled breakfast with lovely gifts and flowers could be a beautiful opening prelude for the wedding!

Seniman Calligraphy created a beautiful custom invitation suite in gold ink and a special bottle of rosé with hand calligraphy for our custom bridesmaid gift baskets. We also filled the bridesmaid baskets with a pink and gold mini emergency kit from Pinch Provisions and lovely sweets from Sugarfina. Bowerbird Atelier created a beautiful table arrangement and hand tied bouquets in soft pinks and white with fresh greens. Skyla Arts and Makeup by Quis kept the girls look fresh and feminine to compliment the lovely Dessy and JLM Couture gowns provided by Weddington Way. Lara’s film captured the soft details of the bridal shoot at this stunning landmark.” 

A huge thankyou, as always, to the wonderful Lara Lam who always manages to wow me with her ability to capture every detail so beautifully. She really does have such an exquisite eye and I couldn’t be more proud to say you can find her HERE in CVB’s Little Book of Chic – an invaluable resource to any couple planning a vintage, vintage inspired or modern vintage wedding.

And if you love her fine art photography, as I do, then you will want to see this old world castle wedding inspiration, this stunning heirloom bridal shoot and this chic San Francisco elopement inspiration! Be sure to pop and take a peek at Lara’s website www.laralamweddings.com too, to see even more of her work, and don’t forget to follow her on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram for a daily dose of romance.
