A Festive Holiday Shoot with Gorgeous Garlands

Gorgeous garlands, adorable flower girls, and a Maggie Sottero wedding gown that will have you swooning in two seconds flat? These are just a few of the highlights from today's styled shot with photography by Candace Nelson Photography and with creative direction and floral design by Thorne and Thistle and Blossom Me Bloom.

From the designer, "Our styled shoot was designed and created to complement and enhance the Emporium, an elegantly restored historic Catholic church located in Troy, Alabama, now available as an event venue."

"The venue features gold embellished Corinthian columns, a barrel shaped ceiling, and a quatrefoil shaped stained glass window. We carried this motif throughout our shoot by repeating this shape on the invitation and in wreaths hanging on the gold mirrors."

Color was also brought in through the food items... with a raspberry accent in the champagne glasses and the gold platter displaying the macaroons.
