Inspiration

Cupcakes, Maids, and Lemonades

Today’s inspiration shoot feels a touch more magical than most! Filled with ethereal inspiration and whimsy, this blush garden party is all about beautiful bridesmaids enjoying lemonade and cupcakes. So what was the magical recipe for this Calgary inspiration shoot? Sugar, and spice and everything nice of course! We love the vintage decor details paired with the modern, bohemian vibe of the bridesmaids styling. Photographed at River Cafe, Calgary’s iconic downtown restaurant hidden in one of our most famous urban parks, the setting for this garden party is perfectly poised. Here more from the photographer and meet the entire Creative Team after the jump!

From the photographer:

The recipe of success for this styled shoot? Sugar, Spice, and everything nice of course 😉
What do you get when you put all these together? A lovely, sugar glazed lemonade tea party in the sunshine, perfect for a special afternoon with your young flower girls or recapturing bygone days with your bridesmaids and best friends.

First (Or, The main ingredient). Three nymph-like maidens draped in lace, pink, frills, and more lace. Any girl growing up in the era of Disney princesses can’t help but feel the pull of nostalgia looking at these big eyed beauties in their gorgeous gowns.

Second (The spice). A location lush with greenery and a cafe that looks just like a secluded cabin in with its own quaint river babbling in the background, sun dappled with the afternoon light.

Third (The sugar. Think LOTS of sugar then add more.) Pastries, cakes, and cupcakes galore that were almost too pretty to eat. And to beat the heat and wash down those treats there is no better match for a summer afternoon than a refreshing perfectly pink lemonade or an iced tea.
