Vegas Elopement In The Heart Of Northern California

Nov 20

Picture this: a Vegas-inspired elopement with the elegance of a castle backdrop. Our latest styled shoot at White Swan Castle in Granite Bay, California, perfectly blends the bold and passionate colors of hot reds and pinks with the sophistication of a castle setting. If you're a bride-to-be or a wedding planner seeking inspiration, this shoot offers a treasure trove of ideas.

The theme of our shoot was a romantic Vegas elopement, characterized by vibrant and playful hues. The flowers, a mix of dried and fresh blooms, stole the spotlight. Imagine red roses symbolizing deep love, pink carnations adding a touch of grace, and striking anthuriums bringing in an exotic flair. These floral arrangements created a mesmerizing visual, making the color palette of hot reds and pinks pop against the castle's timeless architecture.

White Swan Castle, located in the picturesque Granite Bay, California, provided a fairy-tale setting. Its grand staircase became the perfect backdrop for our modern bride, who embodied elegance and contemporary style. She wore a chic white dress with off-shoulder sleeves, accessorized with hot pink gloves and a matching veil. Her bouquet, a vibrant mix of reds and pinks, mirrored the lively spirit of the day and added an extra layer of charm to the photoshoot.

The juxtaposition of dried and fresh flowers added texture and depth to the floral arrangements. This blend of old and new, traditional and modern, is a trend that's gaining popularity among brides-to-be. Whether you're planning a grand wedding or a small, intimate elopement, incorporating both dried and fresh flowers can give your floral decor a unique and personalized touch.

For those considering a Vegas-themed elopement, this shoot offers endless inspiration. The bold color palette, the mix of floral textures, and the stunning castle venue create an atmosphere of romance and excitement. The playful yet sophisticated vibe is perfect for couples who want their special day to be memorable and visually stunning.
