a make-believe wedding

am so excited to have finally gotten my hands on these photos! they are from an october bridal shoot that was hosted by carla ten eyck photography and jubilee events with just for you providing the flowers. carla ten eyck hosts what she calls "ten eyck tuesdays" for photographers. it's a collaborative effort to plan a "pretend" wedding for photographers to explore and fine tune their skills and even learn a new thing or two with respect to wedding photography. for jane, it was the rare opportunity to create flowers without any restrictions (budget or design-wise!). candace from jubilee originally came up with a "vintage ballerina" theme, so jane put together the ideas she wanted to create within those parameters. she then filled her van with all sorts of other flowers, greens, vases, silver and even her mother's old fainting lounge (which is in a few of the photos). once on site her original inspirations grew and evolved into something more ethereal and wild. the results were fantastic and it was due in no small part to the collaborative effort of all the vendors who were there. any event is successful not just because of one element but because all the pieces work to make a cohesive whole.  this endeavor is a beauty.
