If you know me at all, then you know 3 things. #1. I love bright and beautiful colors. #2. I love sparkle. like a lot! and #3. I’m a huge HUGE fan of pink peonies.
With photography and design by Elizabeth Nord Photography and Elizabeth Greve Photography, this talented duo did an amazing job capturing and styling all of this gorgeousness! And this floral design by Petals N’ Bloom? So super pretty, if you ask me! Seriously, this sweet soirée is just filled to the brim with lovely.
The inspiration behind the decor was motivated by the vibrant colors and personalities of the SATC characters as well as the real life friendships. The sequin tablecloth paired with the gold chargers and place settings added a glam aspect, while the handmade floral jewelry brought a fresh, fun, and unique concept to the playful and girly theme.
Meeting often to chat about their latest dating adventures, Carrie Bradshaw and her friends shared cocktails and toasted to their friendships. During the shoot, AJ, inspired by Carrie, raised a martini glass with tears in her eyes and said, “To my best friends, my sisters! Here’s to always being there for each other. Then, now, and forever! I love you!”
To sum up the essence of this styled shoot, let’s quote Candace Bushnell, the Creator of Sex and the City! She famously wrote, “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.”
