First featured in Issue 29, the talented Heather Benge and Alexia Woolum of Styled Shoots Across America have crafted yet another timeless and ever-romantic editorial!
Photographer Kimie James shares, “This beautiful shoot called upon the classic aesthetic of Grecian romance, married with all shades of blue, and was kissed with a hint of Southern charm.”
Set against the backdrop of The Estate at River Run in Maiden, Virginia, the shoot seamlessly combines Old World European elements with soft blues and purples to create a classic-meets luxury-inspired wedding.
The beautiful bride, Michelle, donned a romantic corset dress that perfectly complimented both tablescape designs, while elegant florals crafted by Intrigue Designs Student Team (who were assisted by the fabulous MunaCoterie member, The Flower Guy Bron!) created larger-than-life centerpieces and an intricate flower staircase installation.
Other highlights included a hand-painted champagne bottle and a custom seating cart with bespoke floral seals.
Prepare to be inspired!

Attire:
Our bride, Michelle, wore a romantic corset back dress that complimented both table inspirations. Touches of old Greek statues paired beautifully with the lush florals. All of this was tied in against the backdrop of the beautiful Estate at River Run.
