One step into the La Banque De Fleuve in Havre de Grace, Maryland, and you’d never know that you were in a venue that was once a bank, thanks to the exquisite talents of the team that dreamed up this very inspired shoot! Jennilyn Gaitan of Unveiled Faces by Jennilyn collaborated with her highest recommended vendors, with whom she had been wanting to do a styled shoot for some time. They decided to go with an enchanted forest fairy tale themed shoot, and boy, did they go all out!
The room was transformed into a dreamlike land by the talents of Linda Montouri of Fine Florals and Lauren Niles, Lead Event Stylist at K&B Bridals and Event Planning. The greenery throughout the space gives a lush, spellbinding feel to the room. The table is set up in front of the old bank vault, with flowers, branches, plants and candles spilling over its edges, creating an ambiance so romantic you would never even realize you were looking at a vault!
I absolutely love the flowers in the bouquet and on the table, with the pale pink roses popping subtly yet beautifully against the greens, and the crystals among the branches offer a captivating shimmer. The textured brown tablecloth is the perfect complement to the enchanted forest feel, making it seem as though the abundance of florals on the table are growing right from the ground itself. Every detail adds up to complete this stunning shoot, right down to the paper goods featuring branches and displayed in an earthy yet lovely brown box decorated in greenery and accented with white flowers. Even the windows receive the royal treatment, graced by the presence of tall branches and romantic candles.
The bride herself encapsulates the look of a princess that has stepped right out of a fairy tale, with her flawless makeup and hair done by Abby de Rosset of Hair Design by Abby, topped off with a majestic headpiece designed by Randie McConnell of Faye Daniel Designs. As Jennilyn told us, “I am always honored to work with these amazingly talented ladies and this shoot was nothing less than perfect.” We couldn’t agree more! Congratulations to all of you for putting together a truly mesmerizing shoot!
