Marrying European charm with unexpected delights such as a dance of bee ornaments, monkey candles, and wildflowers, the shoot unfolded at The Ruins in Seattle, a timeless backdrop with the unpredictable allure of an unlisted speakeasy. Here, in this elegant, enchanted rendition of an old-world Alice in Wonderland, love intertwined with whimsy. The carefully selected palette of lavender, chartreuse, oranges, ivory, gold, and green highlighted the natural elements of the space and acted as a nod to an old-world Alice in Wonderland.

Blooms that flowed from the table
Urszula, the visionary florist, overcame November’s floral challenge to create a secret garden-like dream where blooms seem to grow both from the table. Fresh fruits—grapes, lemons, tomatoes, pomegranates—introduced a down-to-earth dimension, enhancing the sensory experience at the table. A patterned tablecloth from BBJ La Tavola defied tradition, modern gold silverware added a touch of contemporary elegance, and small white butterflies, discreetly scattered throughout the florals, introduced an element of delicate surprise.
Natural yet elegant seating design
Noble Event Rentals, with their offering of The Natural Bentwood Chair, infused the shoot’s style with a timeless design and graceful curves, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. This chair, with its inviting natural wood finish and ergonomic comfort, became more than just a seat; it became another design element that helped bring the overall layout together.
Butterfly-inspired wedding cake
The handcrafted butterfly cake by Kenna Giuzio was a fusion of colors mirroring the shoot’s bohemian palette.
