Our Roosevelt suite was featured last week on Elizabeth Anne Designs! Our modern yet formal Roosevelt wedding invitations and save the dates were a perfect fit for this stunning inspiration shoot, which featured rich shades of red. The bride carried a cascading bouquet filled with rich reds and pinks, and wore a timeless lace dress by Encore Bridal and pale pink Badgley Mischka shoes. Cherry bourbon cream sodas were selected as a signature cocktail, and other design elements (like a classic ’58 Ford) added a touch of nostalgia to this country club celebration. The end result was a perfectly chic summer affair. Many thanks to Nature’s Grace Design and DeFiore Photography for including us in this romantic shoot!
