Last spring I shared a sneak peek of a collaboration I participated in with Lisa Warninger, Elizabeth Dye, and Myra Callan. Today, I am excited to share the full set of images with you!
Our mission was to spotlight the gorgeous, heirloom quality wedding dresses of Elizabeth Dye and the handmade floral headpieces of Myra Callan (Twigs & Honey). My job was prop and floral styling. Lisa Warninger was the obvious choice for photographer.
We were inspired by vintage sewing rooms, old haberdashery and the tradition of handmade clothing.
The wall was made from a Victorian poetry book. Most of the props were gathered from Elizabeth's sketchbooks and studio, and the sewing rooms of my mother and grandmother.

Lovely. Breathtaking. Gorgeous!
The dresses are apt for summer garden weddings, very lovely. And the photo of stacked hardcover books topped with a bouquet of flowers make me swoon. =)
here’s an original comment – WOW! everything is inspired and inspiring. the dresses are gorgeous and i love those pale yellow roses. the idea for the pages on the wall is so smart and do-able. great work by a great team!
seriously, i’ve never seen such a beautiful, serene, breathtaking shoot. no detail was spared and everything is absolutely dreamy. i’ve been happily married for ten years, but *if only*… dream, sigh.
I just posted on my blog: http://lilyspruce.com/blog/2010/02/vintage-stylings/
A *vision*. Thank you!
What was that on the background? It really emphasizes the art you want to project in that photo.
And oh btw, you are so lovely. 😉
Gorgeous shoot–those book pages in the background are a great idea. So inspiring.
what a great backdrop, these vintage pieces are beautiful…i was just looking at flora and henri merch online, this amazing store not far from you in seattle and they have the cutest flower girl dresses that are timeless, reminded me of this.
Best photo I have seen!
Wow, this is stunning! So much inspiration!
