Looking for wedding inspiration that breaks the mold? Grab a cup of coffee and let’s scroll. Shall we? Because, you guys? When Dawn Derbyshire Photography sent this dreamlike shoot our way? Stop the presses. Just one glance and you’ll see why it had us at hello.
Organic, whimsical florals from GreenSinner took on a life of their own and every detail was perfectly planned and styled by Exhale Events. And these colors? Oh, the colors!
From the photographer regarding the concept for this shoot, “Long before I was a photographer, back in high school, I had the pleasure of reading Pablo Neruda’s Sonnet XVII. Even as a teenager, the sonnet moved me, and years later I incorporated a piece of the sonnet into a tattoo.”


“I immediately scrambled, gathering as much inspiration as I could before getting the ball rolling on the shoot.”
“I knew they could help polish my vision and give me some direction, while helping put together a killer team of vendors.”
“Narrowing in on some of elements of the sonnet (shades of topaz, plants and flowers, etc), our spring timeframe, and helping find the perfect venue, we started gathering the vendors.
“The amazing Kerry-Ann from K. Flowers Designs came in to design the invitation suites, doing a beautiful print of the sonnet on watercolored paper with gold edges…”
“…perfectly complimenting our golden toned Mrs Box and the gold foiled bulbs that would later be used at the place settings on the reception table.”





“Featuring several small desserts, the main focus was on the flan instead of a traditional wedding cake, throwing back to the Spanish influence.”
Huge hugs and high fives to this amazing team of wedding professionals from the state of Pennsylvania. Truly a dream team. And a special shoutout to Dawn Derbyshire Photography who is a cherished member of ours here at The Perfect Palette!
