Part 2 to our musically inspired "For the Love of Music" Bridal Shower shoot was a musically inspired wedding! 


My awesome artist friends, Sandra from Downtown Darling and Abs of Abs of Cakes and I envisioned a lovely matrimony of vendors that would showcase a love with nothing but vintage, melody and music! 


It was a great harmony of artists and visionaries and I had a wonderful time creating a harmony of wedding vignettes with everyone! Thank you to Ellie of Eloisa Nadine Hernandez Photography for a gorgeous photos of the wedding song!

Two words: Music and Vintage! (We love both) ...

Inspired by vintage and the awesome fashion, art and sounds of oldies and goodies of music, Sandra Pimentel from Downtown Darling Boutique, Abigail Lodevico of Abs of Cakes and I wanted to create a fun, music and vintage inspired shoot that would allow us to creatively collaborate and think of fun, musical vintage details for a music inspired, vintage bridal shower. 


In collaboration with awesome artists (the models are also musicians!! see links above) and businesses in the Downtown Arts District of Long Beach (its a blooming art community!), we created a colorful musical inspired tea party for a lovely bride to be. Sandra did an amazing job styling outfits and accessories for the beautiful bridal party. Makeup was vintage inspired and done with love by Kelsie Gygi. The tea party treats and cake design were created by Abigail and were deliciously styled with vintage decor. Gorgeous floral with vintage broaches (from Downtown Darling) were created by Shelley Anders of Primal Flower and made pretty centerpieces to the music inspired tea party. I created a tea party table with lovely details of paper crafted table settings, vintage napkins with broaches and gorgeous  vintage decor with records as place settings. I loved adding old musical sheets and records to tie in our theme! (Loved making those fun music sheet paper flowers!) Ellie from Eloisa Nadine Hernandez Photography captured the sweet love vintage music details with her awesome photography skills! 


With vintage decor and rentals from Downtown Darling and The Sweet Love Chain Vintage Rentals and recycled music decor from The Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse (recycling is awesome), the vintage music inspired tea party came together in perfect harmony the rockstar bride to be!
