"Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life… love gives us a fairytale.” -Melissa Brown
This enchanting modern day shoot took place at Bavaria Downs, in Chaska, Minnesota, and was inspired by childhood fairy tales like Rose Red and Snow White. We developed a design around our very own Aurora Rose and the dramatic addition of a majestic black steed and white fell pony.
Our bride wore a statement gown with a bodice resembling a rose. Her long black tresses and ivory complexion, contrasted perfectly by her deep red lips and bouquet of butterfly ranunculus and roses. She wore an abstract raw cut salt and pepper diamond ring. Adding to the mystery, our groom was dressed in all black.
Dining was lakeside overlooking the rolling hills and eerie forest of not awakened trees. As stylized florals and gilded table settings adorned the regal tablescape.
Completing our fairy tale, we made a bold choice with the multi-tiered black cake and lifelike sugar flowers, and classically designed stationery.
