Utah Bride Blog Inspiration Shoot
By ACecala
Today, I wanted to share some of my favorite images from the GORGEOUS inspiration shoot that Utah Bride Blog featured recently. It was truly and AMAZING shoot and styled so beautifully (by the wonderful Mara at Events by LMG), we just couldn't resist sharing it again! Check it out!
I love these invitations! Pink Piggy Designs always amazes me with their creativity and stunning designs, and this one was definitely a fav!
Check out these gorgeous florals from Studio Stems! I love the textural quality of the boutonniere - so even though its all shades of green, it still is visually impacting - and the bouquet! Love it and the feathers are a wonderful touch!
Another fabulous creation from Pink Piggy Designs! I love, love, love this color palette and these escort cards incorporate it beautifully!
How STUNNING is this tablescape? Events by LMG definitely created a design that is over the top gorgeous! Plus the sequined chair covers from La Tavola are so amazing!
One of my favorite ways to create visual interest at a table is by using different vessels for the flowers. I love the use of the bigger central centerpiece and the smaller pieces moving out from the center to create a feeling of abundance and fullness. LOVE!
How cool are Culinary Crafts's recycled wine bottle glasses? We love using them at our events and they worked perfectly with the beautiful linens, stunning flowers, and sequined pops of gold!
We had so much fun creating this menu! With inspiration from Miraval Spa in Arizona, we made a wonderful menu with elegant, yet earthy flavors and a southwestern feel - PERFECT for this inspiration shoot! Yum!
I loved this signature cocktail! The Desert Margarita was a twist on the traditional margarita, garnished with Prickly Pear Cactus - and for a sweeter, yet spicy, taste, Mexican Hot Chocolate garnished with a Cinnamon Stick!
Mmm... The plated 1st course was a Cilantro-crusted Scallop on Petite Black Bean Cake with Roasted Corn Salsa. DELISH!
Dessert Trios are a favorite of mine, not only because they look beautiful, but they create different, distinct tastes for your guests! They can try a little bit of each, without feeling overfull - not to mention they are a great way to end a perfect meal. For this menu, we served Mini Tres Leche Cake with Strawberry Duxelle, Mexican Wedding Cookies drizzled with Diablo Chocolate Sauce, and sweet Corn Ice Cream with Prickly Pear Salsa. Seconds, anyone?
How beautiful is the venue? This is the Place Heritage Park was a perfect locale, full of hidden gems are breathtaking landscapes. Not a bad place to spend the day!
What a GORGEOUS day full of simply stunning creativity and design. Thank you so much to Utah Bride Blog for letting us help create this beautiful shoot and thank you to Alixann Loosle for sharing these STUNNING photos!
