Finally! We’re so excited to share a full recap of our gorgeous Urban Desert styled shoot at Acme Feed & Seed. In case you missed our Inspiration Board post last week, this shoot was inspired by the southwest. We mixed some of our most popular pieces (like our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Crossback Chairs) with some hidden gems in our Vintage Prop Shoppe (like our Marrakesh Screen, Sylvia Buffet Table, Ramona Couch, and Marjorie Vintage Coffee Table), for an eclectic, urban style.

The styled shoot featured four setups: a lounge, ceremony, reception, and dessert display. The lounge matched patterned textiles and vintage furniture with more bold florals. For the tablescape we arranged the Fruitwood Farm Tables in a chevron pattern, with lace runners layered beneath the place settings. Deep turquoise napkins and stacks of vintage books added a pops of color. We worked with a team of talented vendors, including Bright Event Productions, Enchanted Florist, Designs in Paper and Dulce Desserts. Castilleja Nashville (located in Edgehill Village) donated vibrant accessories, like the serape blankets and rugs, to complete the look! It was a true oasis of color and texture.

The styled shoot also turned into a surprise proposal for our model couple, Magen and Lyndi. When we invited them to model for the shoot, Magen asked if she could use the day as an opportunity to pop the question to her girlfriend Lyndi. Through skillful coordination and lots of secret-keeping, the plan was a success! The two got engaged between photo sessions on the Acme rooftop, surrounded by their friends and family. Such a sweet moment! You can see photos of the proposal in our feature on 100 Layer Cake.

Thanks to all our “friendors” who made this styled shoot such a beautiful success, especially Photographix for these gorgeous images.

Last summer, we were thrilled to partner with an AMAZING group of Nashville event professionals on a desert-inspired style shoot with an urban twist. This inspiration board shows our vision for the shoot: a wedding for couples with bold, eclectic style, inspired by the exotic textures and vivid colors of the southwest. We dug into our Vintage Prop Shoppe inventory to find a mix of colorful, vintage pieces to create a unique look, from our antique Ramona Couch to our Marjorie Coffee Table. Stay tuned for the big reveal of the final look and vendors that brought it to life, coming to the blog next week!

Our styled shoot at ACME Feed & Seed was a gorgeous success. It was a great example of some smart ways to personalize pieces from our Vintage Prop Shoppe, from the storybooks to the antique Marrakesh Screen.

The Marrakesh Screen looks absolutely gorgeous draped in florals from Enchanted Florist! It works well as a backdrop to the lounge, but it also make a great backdrop for a ceremony altar.

Our storybook from the Vintage Prop Shoppe can add an eclectic pop of color to your tablescape or as an accent in a lounge setting.

This macrame banner was donated to the style shoot by Castelleja Nashville, but it was a unique way to personalize our Franklin bar, which lifts at the top to hang banners or garlands for a personalized touch.
