Romantic Vintage Inspiration at The Metropolitan Building

We were so lucky to work with some amazing vendors on this photo shoot produced by the lovely blog Aisle Candy and the photographer KT Merry.  The full post was on Style Me Pretty, and here is a sampling.

The inspiration came from BHLDN's new line of wedding dresses.  From there we decided to do a super soft, romantic, vintage inspired shoot that was 100% pretty.  We shot at the Metropolitan Building, which is a super cool venue out in Long Island City, and we used all of the tableware from Anthropology.

I had the bright idea to do a sequin lined aisle, which came out beautifully, but word to the wise, you need a billion sequins to get a cool effect, and a good vacuum to pick them all up later!

I brought in some of my very favorite vendors to collaborate on this, including kat flower, Preston & Olivia, Nine Cakes and Love Jenna Calligraphy.  The absolutely freaking amazing photography was done by KT Merry, who I feel truly lucky to have worked with.  We also did a DIY project based on the favors in this shoot, which we'll feature next!
