Grey Likes Weddings

One of our Grey Collective members, Brea McDonald, recently sent over this urban loft shoot that was such a fresh take on wedding inspiration, that we felt compelled to let you in on the action! This loveliness was all styled and design by Beautiful Days and shot by Brea McDonald Photography! Let’s get into it, shall we?

Resources that came together for this rad shoot:

There were so many lovely images from today’s New Year’s styled shoot, that we had to include two posts! I soooo love the idea of a glittery New Year’s Eve wedding, with white flowers, soft gold and green accents, plenty of champagne and a location like Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard to host it at! We can’t get enough of these images from our Grey Collective Member, Eric Kelley and event designer Easton Events.

To go along with the shoot, Meet+Cute Films put together a video as well!

My new, very darling photographer friend, Sarah Hasstedt sent over this perfectly adorable Christmas engagement session that will, let’s be real, make you wish you lived in Colorado. Because apparently, cutting down your own Christmas tree is a total mountain tradition. Sarah explained:

 A big Christmas tradition for Coloradans is heading to the mountains the weekend after Thanksgiving to National Forest land to cut down their family Christmas tree. It is a tradition that is beneficial to our forests as the National Forest workers would have to periodically thin it out anyway to reduce fire danger. Many families and couples love this tradition and will pack thermoses of hot chocolate and bundle up since it is typically only 10 degrees in the mountain air.

Sans that 10 degree thing, I think the idea sounds like perfection–especially for a newly minted couple!

Is it acceptable to be sending out holiday cards this late? I hope so. Today seems like a good day for hot cocoa and bright pink holiday cards from Sugar Paper.

***UPDATE: That silverware. Oh that silverware. It was shot and styled by Susana of Citrus and Orange. Her blog is TO DIE FOR. So go there. And get ready for happy blog smiles.
