Favorites of 2013 – Boho Glam Wedding Inspiration Photo Shoot

December 26, 2013 | Junebug Weddings

Editor’s Note: Our next favorite post of 2013 is a gorgeous boho glam wedding inspiration photo shoot from Lindsey Gomes PhotographyDanae Grace Events and Bella Bloom Events. We love everything about this shoot, from the lush tablescapes to the divine dessert display. All the the warm, welcoming shades of golden metallics provide an air of relaxed sophistication that can’t be beat!

Here are a few words about from the talented owner and lead stylist of Danae Grace Events, Danae Pearce, about her design process and how to draw inspiration from the natural setting of your event.

As a design and coordination company, we are constantly looking at inspiration from our surroundings. As we began the design process for our bohemian goddess photo shoot, we just fell in love with the rolling hills around Paso Robles, which served brilliantly as our inspiration. First, we created our color palette of bone, gold, bronze and muted jade inspired by the natural backdrop of the landscape. We enhanced some elements by creating a long tablescape, a welcome table, a sweetheart table overlooking the rolling hills and an inspiring dessert table with a gorgeous gold leaf cake made by the Cake Cathedral. After choosing the different elements we were going to feature we then began the design process and pulled everything together. When designing an event it’s so important to make sure all the design elements like the linens, flowers, decor, attire, and accessories flows naturally together, creating a cohesive concept between all the elements from the fashion to the space to the decor. To give ourselves a visual image to strive towards, we made rough sketches of each design element, started shopping and working with vintage rental companies while of course adding our own flair and personal touches to create this glam goddess shoot!
