Behind the Scenes at the Junebug Weddings Wedding Planning Book Photo Shoot

April 21, 2008 | editorial team

Tuesday and Wednesday of last week Kim, Blair and I, and our amazing team of talented helpers, were going from morning ’til night shooting all the commercial photos for our wedding planning book, and boy did we have fun! With 4 stunning models, and gorgeous flowers, cakes, dresses, lingerie, jewelry and accessories from Junebug member businesses, we were surrounded by beauty in every way.

 

Our crew on site at the fantastic Pravda Studios (available for weddings too!) included so many talented people. Erin and Chelsea from Bellatrix Studio worked their magic on hair and makeup, our models Leah, Vivian, Alyssa and Amanda made every set up a joy to shoot, Kim’s husband Adam and his friend Mike helped with everything under the sun (especially when it involved heavy lifting, computers or coffee), and our friends Angie and Ashley of One Thousand Words Photography (along with Ashley’s sweet daughter Lilly, our favorite model of the day) helped us photograph it all. We couldn’t be more grateful to them or to the many, many businesses who shared their work with us to be photographed. Over the next few months we’ll be sure to show you all these gorgeous products so you can find inspiration for your wedding, and continue along with us in our book-writing journey!

Fun dresses and accessories for your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and bachelorette party

April 18, 2008 | editorial team

With wedding season arriving across the country, I know lots of you are in party mode, with bridal showers, bachelorette parties and rehearsal dinners to attend. Being slightly fashion obsessed myself, I know what I would be thinking if I were in your shoes, “What am I going to wear to all those events?!” If you’re looking for a few fun ideas for new outfits or for freshening up something you already own and love, here are two spring looks based around the basics.

Start with a simple white dress of any style, and liven it up with richly colored accessories for a fun loving look. Try combining colors you wouldn’t normally think of putting together and see what happens! You might find a new favorite!

Eugenia Kim multi-strap headband
Celestina Bente Uno cuff
Lauren Merkin Lucy patent croc clutch

Bottom row:

For a slightly dressier look, start with a little black dress and layer on different metallic accessories, Mix and match tones of silver, gold and bronze for a truly modern take on a classic.
