Boho Breeze

FALL 2019 COLOR PALETTE

Fall is approaching and one of the things we love the most about fall weddings are the colors! We are obsessing over the bright bold colors that brides have been choosing lately. Magenta, navy blue, burnt orange, plum purple and gold just to name a few.

For this stylized shoot, Merry Me Events set their vision and went with an overall boho vibe including bold fall colors and gold accents. One unique element they used was gold dipped feathers in the bride’s bouquet - these were simply stunning! Merry Me Events used a variety of floral to showcase their bouquet design, some of the floral included were garden roses, dahlias, painted ti leaves, double tulips, pin-cushion protea, blackberry scabiosa, tuberose and palm branches to pull their look together.

We were thrilled to have this fall stylized shoot at the Embassy Suites By Hilton South Bend At Notre Dame. Their convenient and contemporary meeting spaces offer a perfect setting for South Bend events. Host colleagues in one of their boardrooms or plan an alumni reunion in the ballroom with 18-foot-high coffered ceilings. A unique, sixth floor entertainment venue offers spectacular views of the Notre Dame stadium, campus and city, perfect for hosting pre-game or private reception-style memorable events with beverages and casual fare. Their catering and event planners can help with all the details.

This hotel is absolutely stunning and the modern décor would make any wedding feel so elegant. The rooftop lounge has a spectacular view of the golden dome. It is the perfect spot to have a cocktail hour, a lounge for your guests or even photos with your soon-to-be husband!

Embassy Suites Notre Dame will create scrumptious dinner plates for you and your guests. For this fall stylized shoot they created two dinner selections including sliced beef tenderloin with a burgundy reduction, rosemary roasted fingerling potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots. Also served was grilled halibut with a mango and blueberry salsa, saffron infused risotto and roasted asparagus in carrot ribbon. To say these dinner choices were mouth watering is an understatement.

Choosing the right photographer for your wedding day can sometimes feel overwhelming. But, look no further than OMG Photography! The images they capture are truly breathtaking.

The beautiful stemware, plates and utensils were provided by Aays Event Rentals. The gold chargers really accentuated the décor on the table! Aays Event Rentals has everything you need for the wedding that you’ve been dreaming of.

ProShow provided the uplighting for this shoot which helped the photographer capture intricate details by highlighting certain aspects of the décor and of the model, a must have for your wedding day.

The four-tiered cake designed by Sweet-Em’s Cake Shoppe was so stunningly made! The detail on each tier was incredible. With the gold floral design on the bottom two tiers, all gold middle tier and the small pearl inspired beads on the top tier - this cake was beyond elegant!

Our model, Donna Drepin, looked absolutely stunning in an all-white exquisite gown from Blushing Bride on 17. The current trend with gowns has been simple and classic. This gown will still look amazing 20 years from now and could be a great wedding dress to pass on to your daughter!

Donna’s hair was created by Kayse Funkhouser. The low braided back bun looked so elegant and the face framing pieces in the front showcased her stunning makeup created by Bethza Professional Makeup Artist Studio. The soft and whimsical pink and purple colors on her eyes looked so beautiful and we love how she paired it with a slightly nude lip.
