Inspired by the enchanting gardens of Goodstone Inn, Erin Cleveland Events orchestrated a styled shoot that blends modern aesthetics with timeless romance. Their meticulous attention to detail and collaboration with a talented team of vendors brought to life a captivating story, with the bride as the main character.
Erin Cleveland Events and the photographer Amanda Owen collaborated to create a styled shoot that epitomized elegance, timelessness, and uniqueness. Both professionals aimed to capture a vision that aligns with the future direction of the wedding trends. Their shared passion for innovation and artistry is evident in the meticulously planned styled shoot, reflecting their commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional wedding aesthetics.
The bride’s ensemble exuded timeless elegance, featuring a sleek silk dress from Emme Bridal complemented by a delicate neck scarf. This minimalist look was elevated by baroque pearl earrings, adding a touch of organic sophistication.
Her hair, styled in a classic updo by Jasmin Desiree Artistry, showcased the earrings beautifully, while her makeup emphasized natural beauty with subtle tones. The look was completed with elegant shoes from Charles & Keith, embodying a clean and chic aesthetic.
The editorial, organized by the talented team at Erin Cleveland Events, embodied a minimalist, chic, and timeless aesthetic with an editorial flair. Set against the charming backdrop of Goodstone Inn in Middleburg, Virginia, US—a venue renowned for its cottage ambiance and garden aesthetics—the shoot highlighted ethereal beauty and elegant textures. Florals played a pivotal role, with two distinct arrangements: one featuring neutral tones and the other showcasing vibrant hues. Both designs were created by Jessie of Gossamer Floral Design, who perfectly translated the team’s collective vision into reality.
"We loved the vendor team the most, as we all worked together on a shared vision. A challenge for us was the weather—we actually had to move the date of the shoot to accommodate the weather, and it still ended up raining twice in the midst of the shoot. When we saw the rain coming, we would all work together to quickly move everything under the covering at the venue—these turned out to be some of our favorite photos!"
The second tablescape setting came alive with vibrant colors and textures, transforming the space into an enchanting floral display. The table was adorned with lush arrangements featuring soft pinks, purples, and warm yellows, creating a joyful yet refined atmosphere. Tall taper candles in delicate shades of blue added a touch of elegance, casting a warm glow over the scene. The floral centerpiece, a masterpiece of whimsical blooms and lush greenery, brought a lively and organic feel, while the pink and purple glassware added an extra layer of charm. Each element combined harmoniously, creating a visually stunning experience that was romantic and full of life.
This editorial shoot masterfully blends minimalism with vibrant elegance, offering a fresh perspective on wedding design. The combination of neutral and colorful floral arrangements showcases the versatility of merging classic and contemporary elements. This editorial will inspire couples and designers seeking to create timeless yet dynamic wedding aesthetics that reflect personal style and embrace both subtlety and boldness.
