Lush Opulent Elegance Editorial

featuring Erin Traum

Ivory Elegance Events was inspired by The Empyrean, or the place in the highest heaven during the creation of this Lush Opulent Elegance editorial. In literature, it is known as the dwelling place of blessed, celestial beings so divine that they are made of pure light. The Biltmore Hotel set the scene , with its Mediterranean architecture and classic Italian, Moorish, and Spanish influences. Delicate details, floral motifs and ethereal, organic elements shine in the work of florist Lynette Rose Co., and baker Earth and Sugar. It’s all captured here in these fine art film images by Erin Traum.

Sophisticated Autumn Southern Charm

photography by Davy Whitener

We’re kicking off this holiday week with a festive editorial at Pursell Farms from Davy Whitener and Mariee Ami . The colors and details were inspired by a painting of a pheasant—the richness of the teal blue paired with burgundy, rust and different shades of brown creating the perfect fall palette. The juxtaposition of the rustic details paired with the refined elements made for the perfect combination of sophistication and southern charm. Florals are by Alchemy Event Studio and floral adorned cake by Barb’s Cake with paper by Mariee Ami.
