Whilst here in New Zealand we’re still enjoying a long hot Summer, I know many of you are welcoming the end of Winter and are looking forward to the lighter, longer and warmer days of Spring, which makes today’s post perfect! Full of the prettiest Spring blooms and beautiful lace wedding dresses, this garden wedding inspiration shoot from Maria Lamb is an absolute Spring swoon-fest…..

From the beautiful stationery by Rachel Jacobson with its elegant calligraphy and rose print envelope liners, to the splash of colour in the dress from Emily Riggs Bridal and the dreamy floral creations from Ponderosa & Thyme; this shoot evokes a Spring garden in first bloom and radiates romance. The grey vintage velvet ring box from The Mrs. Box adds a splash of opulence and the simple white iced square wedding cake from Windflower Cakes proves yet again that simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication…. All together it is completely captivating and my idea of heaven!

Here with a few words of introduction is the talented lady behind the beautiful dresses, Emily Riggs: “During this shoot we really wanted to capture Portland coming into spring. Being able to incorporate our lush landscapes and our gorgeous flowers just starting to bloom was such a treat. The venue, Lewis and Clark College, had an old english garden ambience which gave our shoot such a romantic appearance.”

Thank-you so much to Maria Lamb for capturing every stunning detail just perfectly, as well as being kind enough to let me publish it on Chic Vintage Brides. You can see more of Maria’s photography over on her website marialamb.co and by following her on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. And a big thanks also to the whole creative team (who you will find links to listed below) for creating such a vision of gothic gorgeousness!

Before you go, if you loved this shoot and are looking for some more romantic Spring wedding inspiration, you might want to pop and take a look at this dreamy garden wedding inspiration shoot inspired by Provence, and this blossom-filled delight. Or if it’s purple you love, then this sweet 1950s inspired shoot will charm your socks off and this romantic outdoor affair full of boho elegance will definitely have you swooning!
