Styled Shoot | A Modern Hollywood Glam Styled Wedding by Pearly Kate Photography

This styled wedding is full of modern details with a beautiful hint of Hollywood glam. With a vintage engagement ring and pocket watch that are over 150 years old, every detail was meticulously chosen. From the beautiful custom handmade maroon velvet robe to the lavish gold table settings, every detail reminds us of the glamour found in old Hollywood and at the same time, brings in elements of modern day weddings. The model groom is a true life professional guitar player so bringing his guitar along with him was the perfect way to let his personality come to life.
 

"I am all about weddings that are traditional but still have details that make the couple shine and stand out in their own individuality." - Pearly Kate Photography

Sponsored Post // Basic Invite – The Perfectly Unique, Totally You, Custom Designed Wedding Invitation

Sponsored with love, by Basic Invite

Malachite, fallow, gamboge…have you ever even heard of these colors before? You may think that one is “just light blue” or “just deep purple” but in reality there are a whole lot of colors out there and they are all incredibly unique.

And guess what? That is one reason why I love weddings so much. Although similar in styles and ideas, every single wedding is unique, just like the shades and textures and options you’re choosing for your wedding invitations…well, sometimes.

Basic Invite is no exception in helping you achieve that unique, wedding look. While your wedding invitation may look similar in style to one you’ve seen, they’re got (almost) unlimited color options and over 500 invitation styles so that you can create the most perfect, unique, ”totally you” wedding invitation. The invitation is your first chance to set the mood for your wedding day and to wow your wedding guests, so it is an oh-so-important step in the planning process.

Typical Bride Scenario:

You have a brilliant idea on how you want your reception, the tablescape, the custom dress and wedding invitation to look. I mean, it looks absolutely, over-the-top stunning in your mind. And then you see the final product for the first time…

…and it looks hideous.

It's totally not as you had imagined. But that could never happen with Basic Invite because not only do the endless options make them stand apart from so many designers out there, but they offer an online preview, down to each minuscule detail, so you can actually see that brilliant idea come to life BEFORE you spend hundreds of dollars on the printed suite. You can even see an in-person printed sample before placing your order, ensuring you love the texture and how it all looks in real life, rather than just in your mind.

Pretty neat, huh? So you’re never going to have to worry about anxiously awaiting their arrival in the mail, hoping you’ll love them. You’ll know that you love them before you even click “order.”

Better yet, Basic Invite has over 40 envelope colors to choose from, allowing your guests to be wow’d before the invite is even opened. And yes, they’re peel and seal so you don’t have to lick 500 envelopes and risk the dreaded taste (and possible paper cut). Am I right or am I right?

From your unique save-the-dates, to wedding menus, invite inserts, programs and thank you cards, every set offers everything you’ll need from start to finish, planning to execution and beyond. Head on over to the Basic Invite website to start designing your perfectly unique wedding invitation, that’s perfect just for YOU.

Styled Shoot // A Timeless Kansas City Rehearsal Dinner at Loose Mansion

We believe that the last moonrise as miss and mister should be a grandly-celebrated affair. This “twist on timeless” styled rehearsal dinner takes place in the very heart of Kansas City. Loose Mansion’s historic ballroom is no stranger to authentic 1920’s events, and serves as the perfect location for this contemporary juxtaposition of modern whimsy with a vintage vibe. These gorgeous flapper-esque details were handpicked specifically to inspire couples to dream out loud in all aspects of their wedding weekend.

This beautifully styled shoot embodies the balance of including a couple’s favorite hometown mementos with an elegant editorial feel. We are obsessed over the masculine details, including the vintage Rolls Royce provided by Pech Limo, and our groom’s stylish leather boots. We are awe-struck with the romantic scene set by dripping pearls and soft floating candlelight, accompanied by details to grand for one day, including an over-sized bridal bouquet and a petite wedding cake and cupcakes.

The timeless beauty of Loose Mansion is the perfect setting inside and out for those with a deep appreciation for Kansas City’s history and well-designed events. This shoot should inspire couples to enjoy their last eve before the big vow exchange in a way that showcases them as individuals, and celebrates their hometown and love for each other. Our gorgeous bride-to-be is styled in simple yet stunning cocktail dresses with trendy accessories from Altar Bridal that are sure to have any gal glowing. Our groom sets the mood throughout the evening with his dapper vibe whether wearing his perfectly tailored suit, or his favorite Charlie Hustle tee.

Tables are adorned with Loose Mansion’s vintage flatware and glassware, and over-flowing blooms from Good Earth Floral. Hues of purple and pink among gorgeous greenery are the perfect complement to this space’s warmer aesthetic. The speakeasy style bar was designed in a way that would provide pops of our couple’s signature details while still being functional for thirsty friends and family. Complete with multiple lounge areas showcasing vintage pieces found among the mansion’s treasures, this ideal rehearsal dinner provides a relaxed atmosphere without taking away from the beauty of a traditional sit-down meal with loved ones.

From Loose Mansion, who provided the Venue and Style Coordination:

“Thank you to our team of Kansas City wedding professionals who helped bring this vision to life! As we’ve seen over and over again through the years, it is simply magic that occurs when a group of creative people get together and build on each others ideas! Couples who allow their vendors to collaborate and be creative with each other get the best results!"
