FEATURED :: Portland Bride & Groom Winter/Spring 2015

I was so excited when Elizabeth from Bridal Bliss invited me to take part in a styled shoot for Portland Bride & Groom Magazine.  The overall look to achieve was "Winter wonderland meets Ralph Lauren".  Think warm, cozy, hot chocolate, tartan, whites & creams.  They chose a blackwatch plaid pattern that instantly made my happy– it was the pattern of my grade school uniform and totally has a special place in my heart.  My husband, our siblings, and some of my very best friends attended that school together, so reminders like this stir up plenty of wonderful memories!  Also? It's so preppy and fun, and I haven't used plaid in a design in a long time.  See more of this shoot here: http://portlandbrideandgroom.com/2014/12/reception-style-wine-spirit/ (and of course you can see it in print if you pick up the latest issue of the magazine!)
