Heather Benge, of Styled Shoots Across America, completely outdid herself again as she, Alexia Woolum, and the rest of their incredible team put together this immaculate shoot decked out in over $30,000 worth of florals! At this shoot that carried on Heather’s belief of “community over competition,” these best-in-class vendors came together to knock this spring-inspired lavender, sky blue, periwinkle, sage green, and ivory color palette out of the park.

A new venue created by a photographer
The shoot took place at one of the newest venues just outside the St. Louis area: Westwind Hills in Pacific, Missouri. For the couple who has wedding photography as the highest priority on their list, this venue is for you! Designed by a wedding photographer herself, Westwind Hills and its all-white interior and exterior are the perfect setting for photos at any time of day. The owners of Westwind Hills, Lauren and Rob Muckler, are dedicated to not only helping to bring your vision to life, but in giving your guests the experience of a lifetime, as well!

A masterclass in intricate floral installations
Sarah Campbell, the founder and owner of Intrigue Designs and Intrigue Teaches, gave a special workshop for florists looking to skyrocket into the luxury wedding market, so Sarah and her Intrigue Designs students were the florists for this shoot.

Jet Fresh Flowers and Delphinium Trick of Balls B Cut Flowers provided the gorgeous florals to be styled for this editorial, while Lova Candles provided the candles for the tablescape, Nuage Design Inc. provided the exquisite linens, and Styled and Staged STL provided the rentals.
Using fabric for wedding signs

Pieces of art wedding cakes
Lyndsay O’Neil, the owner of Cake House Design created the most stunning wedding cakes that were actual pieces of art.
Advice from the experts
The number one element that brings the entire look together is an incredibly talented, organized, hard-working, selfless, servant-hearted team. Talented artists with unique gifts for vision and design are a must, but equally important is having vendors who are all team players and come together to serve the greater purpose of bringing a couple’s vision for their wedding day to life. Countless hours go into the planning process for one of these events, and it’s important to have a team of people who are equally organized and brilliant, and who have the knowledge and experience to make any over-the-top dreams come true!
