Styled Shoot Spotlight:

We are so happy to share that Green Wedding Shoes has featured one of our styled shoots! It’s no secret that Swanky Soiree loves to do our styled shoots! We love the boho trend and we decided to mix it up with style and location.

The plans to have another styled shoot unfolded with a simple message from the owners at Glamorass Ranch and we couldn’t say no! They bring a special service known as, “beer burros”. To clarify, it’s adorable Donkey’s serving beers to your guest! Within a couples weeks vendors were on board (which wasn’t hard – because duh, donkeys!) and brought it to life.

EVERYTHING about this shoot, was so different than what you tend to see in the Gulf Coast region of Florida. It had a very Southwestern look with large aloe vera plants as a beautiful backdrop at Palma Sola Botonical Park. Adding the pampas grass and cacti to the vibe, the arch piece and bridal bouquet from Ivy & Vine tied it together amazingly. Everence Photography captured the charming donkeys (and couple of course) with the southwestern boho flare stunningly.

Swanky Soiree had the pleasure to style with So Staged Event Designs to complete our tablescape look. As always, the styled shoots are done to create inspiration and mix ideas up for a non-traditional look. Together as vendors, artists, and designers our creative partnerships bloom into a scene of styled happiness.

Behind the Scenes:

When vendors do styled shoots we all hope it gets “published” or “featured” in a popular blog or website. Here is a few snippets of all vendors in action! From left to right: Kristen working hard in the beautiful arch piece for this shoot. All though it’s not your typical arch, its unique lay out still has a “small space” feel for the couple to stand in during a ceremony. The second is all models, photographers and hair and make up stylists on site capturing the magic. Third and fourth is a Swanky Soiree Events ninja on stand by with donkeys as the photographers capture scenes at the amazing tablescape we provided.
