An incredible photographer and my good friend, Lola Mansurov, invited me to participate in a special photo shoot to provide inspiration ideas for brides. Incredibly, she pulled this shoot together in less than a week. Her motivation and tenacity astounded me. She was focused and determined, yet handled set-backs (like having to move indoors the day of the shoot) with ease and grace. I truly enjoyed working with her and the other creative people on this project. The other vendors are some of my favorites in the Denver wedding world.

In this shoot, Lola created a warm, chateau-like feel. She wanted a little bit of traditional, classic design, with bright pops of warm color. To add to the design, we included our latest shawl, the “Leyla“. It’s our cherry red silk shawl and was custom-designed by Nilufer and Lori. It has a subtle, but gorgeous circle pattern that really pops in the light. For this shoot, I chose to fold and drape the shawl over two of the chair backs to create a type of chair cover. The chairs themselves are gorgeous so we just wanted something to add some color and make a complete look. I also added strings of pearl to two of the chairs for extra adornment and to designate which chairs were for the ladies. I love how that turned out.

I’m only including a few photos here. Please read Lola’s blog post to see all photos.
