Soft + Organic Coral inspiration shoot

featuring Sami Kathryn Photography

Becca of Oh Be Joyful Creative and Sami Kathryn Photography joined forces to explore Pantone’s 2019 ‘Color of the Year.’ It’s a bright, bold, eye-grabbing color (that we LOVE, duh!) and while it’s easy to let this color run the show, the team chose to explored a more organic, wild feel that incorporated Living Coral in subtle, unique ways. The Cliff House in Dallas, Texas set the stage with details ranging from letterpress invitations by Oh Be Joyful Creative, florals by Slow Darling and cake by The Sweet Canvas Co. We’re totally loving the result—is just. so. PRETTY!!

Chelodonian Editorial

photography by Lauren Kinsey

Gazing at photographer Lauren Kinsey‘s ‘Chelodonian’ inspiration shoot is like drifting into a floral dream. Chelodonian is an ancient word referencing the swallows at the first warmth of spring winds and has historical references to “awakenings.” This editorial, with abundant florals by Studio Petali and Toni Maticevski and Jurgita gowns from Nearly Newlywed, proved to be an awakening for Lauren Kinsey, metaphorically and physically speaking, and we can absolutely see why.

Spruce Meadows‘ British House provides the dreamy backdrop with rich paneling with trim and bright walls.
