Feature: Baltimore Bride 2013

Last summer (behind the scene pics here) we had the pleasure of working with some of Baltimore's finest to help create a stunning, flawless and glistening spread in Baltimore Bride. After flipping through the spread our jaws were literally on the floor. Each detail was executed flawlessly! Be sure to pick up your copy to soon. It really is one of my favorite features we've had! 

...and if you didn't know, these type of features take weeks to plan as well as the professional talents of many people in different industries. A big thank you to Stephanie Bradshaw for the invite to be included and props to the other pros who contributed. It is always a pleasure to work with these fine people!

Behind the Scenes: Baltimore Bride 2013 Editorial Shoot

Yesterday we had the pleasure of helping Stephanie Bradshaw and team with a photo shoot in the Woodberry area of Baltimore. The stellar images from Jennifer Hughes will grace the pages of Baltimore Bride Magazine in 2013. With dresses pulled from Bella Bridesmaid and Garnish, our groomsman dressed by Christopher Schafer, the models were flawless. 

Lindsay and I prepped the models for their close-ups. Lindsay used gold as her main eye color. Their skin was left with a dewy yet natural look.  I kept the hair voluminous and textured while pinning 2 models into updos and leaving our blonde's long locks half-up.

To see a sneak peek of the overall color palette, take look at the SB blog. 

 

 We couldn't stop swooning over this gorgeous vintage piece. I was so thrilled I was able to pin it carefully into one of our updos. Check out the contest we had going on facebook. The person who guessed the retail value won a custom Up-Do's For I Do's lipgloss!

Super happy to meet Chelsea. She did the models' nails and WOW is she spectacular. Her nail art is definitely a fine tuned practice. Can't wait to work with her more often! 

I've been dying to get my hands on Christina's locks. We played with a few ideas for an up swept bun. You'll have to wait until the issue is printed to see what we settled on.

 See the cutie-patootie in the hot pink shorts? Super excited to welcome back (you might remember her from this shoot) Eleanor into the hot seat. I was even more excited to play with her amazing blonde hair.

...we may or may not have been standing on our tippy toes....

details...details...details...

 Ha! Can't show you the whole design but that is one gorgeous tiered cake from Charm City Cakes walking in the door. 

Yeah....there it is again..that oh.so.perfect brooch.....

 Fleur de Lis brought magic and sweet smells to the room when these pretty petals were delivered... 

 Paper! Who can forget the paper??? Just Ink On Paper was in the house pulling together those small but equally important details. Can't wait to show what they designed!

 ....and that is all until the big reveal of the print version of our day yesterday! We will be sure to post in 2013 with the images that make the cut! Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend :) Ashley
