Last month I had the incredibly happy privilege of finally meeting the amazing Janie Medley of JM Flora Design, and the face behind The Bride’s Cafe wedding blog. This lovely lady is based right here in Richmond, and I can’t believe it took us so long to connect! She has a heart of gold, and her work is absolutely stunning. So, when she mentioned that she was putting together some florals for a bridal event at Pottery Barn and asked if I could photograph it, I was thrilled! You can check out her post about the event here, to find out more information on how her amazing stylist, Dana Fitzgerald, found inspiration to put together the color/style boards that Janie then based her bouquets off of.

She had four different inspiration boards, and thus four bouquets. Each one gave a bride ideas about taking multiple colors, textures and concepts and meshing them together to create a cohesive theme for a wedding.

This was inspiration number one.

And the best part was, Janie wanted each of the bouquets to be shown off, so she brought in the stunnning Soliel Paden to model and I had sooo much fun getting to photograph her! Her pretty dress was from Bella Bridesmaid and her fabulous make up was done by Erika Nixon!

Of course I loved this first bouquet, it being so happily yellow and all. :)

Sooo much prettiness, right?! I had SUCH a fabulous time with these ladies, and definitely look forward to working with them more in the future! Hope this brought a bit of lovely to your Thursday. :)
