Project: Pink + Gray!

Here we go! Many of you have been patiently waiting for these to be posted…. either because you’re friends with someone involved in the shoot, know the location or you’re just plain excited 🙂

We decided back in late January to do this project. We picked the colors, we picked the location… then we had the task of whipping it all together! I had the best time doing this project… in a way, it was kind of like getting to plan my wedding all over again. 🙂

A little background on why pink & gray: I wanted to use my mom’s (now mine & Jeremy’s) wedding china. As you’ll see in the photos it’s trimmed in silver. I also decided to use her silver flatware. With that, we wanted to make it a little more modern, than traditional- so we thew in the peach & pink!

A special thank you to: Maxie B’s for the cakes & cupcakes, Rae’s Flowers Shop for the florals, Etsy Seller: ZuuZuu for the gray shrug, Etsy Seller Velvet Owl for the veil , Etsy Seller GoldenInvites for the all the paper goodies & Calligraphy by Carrie for the lovely penmanship! 

Without further reading….

The location: One of my favorite places on earth… Moores Springs Campground. It’s owned by NC State as part of the neighboring Sertoma 4-H Center (where we got married, I spent many weeks of summer as a camper & 2 summers on staff…. aka… it holds a special place with me!). The campground flooded the end of last summer, and has been closed until further notice…. making it an even more perfect place for us to shoot… we wouldn’t be battling other people!
