A teaser of the photo shoot

On June 5th, I was lucky enough to participate in a promotional photo shoot at the Nimitz Mansion on Treasure Island.  The photos from the shoot aren't ready yet, but I took some of the designs for my personal records.

The color themes were pinks, yellows, browns and navy blue accents.  The entire shoot had a very vintage feeling to it.

I used bouquet holders for each of the bouquets to ensure they stayed fresh and had a water source.  I know you are probably thinking, "A bouquet holder?  You mean one of those ugly plastic things?"  Well yes I do!  In my last post, I talked about the usefulness of the bouquet holder.  They keep the flowers hydrated which in turn, keeps the bouquets fresher, longer.

Each holder was custom designed to cover up the plastic.  This gave each bouquet a unique feel that accented nicely with the design itself.

Boutonniere with orchids, Star of Bethlehem and crystal accents.  The crystal button, is a piece of antique costume jewelry.
