A couple of weeks ago I introduced a wedding shoot that I styled as a part of We Do Weddings. We had divided ourselves into 4 groups and each took a section of "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" and went to town. I was a part of "something blue" and "something new" as seen here. Though there were many ways to take "new" we took "something new" to mean a "new" fairytale. Lots of brides want to be that princess in a fairytale and we wanted to bring a new, uncheesy romanticism to the meaning. To do this we used Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina. You know I love scale, so I was all about it. Of course, there had to be oversized flowers everywhere. I even made a jumbo flower for this bride to really bring it home. This time I was partnered with Tine Hvolby, who shot all of these photos, Hazel of Think Foto, and Rikke of Gudnitz Couture, who made the lovely wedding dress as worn by Christina Michanek (remember Christina? She's a soloist for the Royal Danish Ballet) and joined by her husband, a former dancer with the Royal Swedish and Danish Ballets. Rikke makes lots of dresses for the rich and famous in Denmark--fancy! We lucked out with a rare sunny day, which created some beautiful lighting to play with. Didn't Tine kill it?!
Here's the invitation I created for the wedding. Look familiar? After this, I decided to base my new 2013 calendar from it (get it on sale here).
So gorgeous.
If you're in Denmark, check out the We Do Weddings website. It's such a great resource for planning a wedding.
