“Daisy: What kind of a garden do you come from?
Alice: Oh, I don’t come from any garden.
Daisy: Do you suppose she’s a wild-flower?”
– Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
I received this lovilee submission from Colleen from Lieflingkind Style that often inspires us lovilees with her free printables! The project was commissioned by Natalie Loots from NYX Photography and I just loved the end result! Natalie shared some more on the shoot and the suppliers involved.
Why the theme?
I had been fascinated by vintage time pieces for a while before deciding on a final theme and becoming inspired by Alice in Wonderland the complete shoot just started to fit together when I decided on acquiring two very modest rabbits from our local pet shop. From there on every thing fell into spot with choosing the vintage dresses made by Erika and the gorgeous hand illustrated stationary that Colleen produced. I also really like gold as a colour for weddings and incorporating it into my styled shoots, almost everything from soft to rose gold and thus it complemented our theme.
Inform us much more about the shoot and the lovilees involved?
We began generating backdrops and décor about 3 weeks in advance working with a lot of vintage furniture, china and even performing some DIY upholstering.
Colleen and I perform collectively on a lot of projects and this time she absolutely out did herself by hand-illustrating the invitations, menu’s and cake-topper with rabbits and clocks. The rabbit cake-topper was produced by utilizing a wooden rabbit cut-out that we painted gold and then put on the cake making use of a paper straw and double sided tape.
I sourced the cake locally from Baker’s Globe. As I wanted one thing minimalist, I asked for the cake to be chocolate with white dirty icing and added the lavender as decoration myself. The flowers had been all handpicked wildflowers I arranged into bouqets.
You will notice the remarkable styles by Erica Mengouchi but the jewellery supplied by Venita just rounded off everything entirely. Her style is fresh and special (and even note the tiny rabbits in one of the little girl’s ears)!
I hope every person enjoys the shoot as a lot as we did!

It is extremely close to Valentine’;s Day so get ready to do some baking! There is a marvellous recipe for White Chocolate Macaroon Bites from Alkaline Sisters weblog (linked under). I completely fell in love with the meals photography styling for this recipe. The image above is my favourite! It appears like a fabulous tiny corner ^_^
Even even though I do not like desicated coconut.. this recipe is vegan friendly so I could be tempted into tasting it! Those fresh raspberries appear totally divine!
This overhead image of the macaroon bites, the cupcake cases, doilies, fresh components and table decor has provided me lots of suggestions for pictures and note taking about what to hold in thoughts next time I’;m generating a styled photo shoot.
The platter that these tiny macaroon bites are sitting on and the crochet are completely beautiful and I want I owned them! I often want I personal these products with the grand concepts for photographing the beautiful little trinkets, it never ever takes place. I need to have to manage my window buying simply because I cannot constantly be trusted not to treat myself! lol. My property could do with a small organisation. Anyway, I digress! I actually am really impressed with the photography styling for this recipe. Food photography is something that has usually interested me but I am absolutely awful at photography styling. I may have to verify for some on-line courses about how to style your photos!
oooh! I adore flowers but I’;ve just been rather taken by that pink floral fabric! It’;s rather like fabric prints from Liberty of London. The colours marry beautifully with those flowers and rather rustic seeking ceramics.
Don’;t these macaroon bites appear fabulous?! I enjoy the polka dot cupcake situations as well ^_^ they look great with the raspberries. I’;m a colour fiend! You can discover the recipes and original photos on the Alkaline Sisters weblog.
