We adore the style of Amanda Douglas, WPICC of Amanda Douglas Events in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and are always giddy when she submits styled shoots or real weddings to us for publication. They are always understated, thoughtfully crafted and unique.
Today we are happy to share this fall inspiration shoot with you.
Fall on Martha’s Vineyard – Inspiration Shoot
From Amanda: Fall is such a romantic time of year. We planned this shoot with quiet elegance as inspiration and our mind dreaming about fall on Martha’s Vineyard.
We were asked to do a spot for Global Winnipeg on fall decor and decided to turn it into a little photo shoot, too (why not right?).
When we think about thanksgiving or a warm meal shared around the family table we think of something a bit like this:

Ok, maybe this is a bit fancy for your typical family dinner, but let’s dream a little that all family dinners are this chic.
Fall weddings are a magical scene. Sometimes fall is a bit of a tricker time of year for brides and they might lean a little too far into what’s commercially out there for fall themed weddings.

We wanted to put together a design that was just the right amount of warm fall colours but with a good measure of elegance and class, too.
Watching the leaves change colour is part of the magic of fall and we loved how the florals include the beautiful yellow orange leaves of autumn. They couldn’t have been paired better with the rest of the flowers. Our favourite was the stunning orchids that just put this floral piece over the top with elegance.

We finished off the table design with brass pieces (those cranes right?), gold cutlery, rich and dark teal goblets, rose gold mercury glass candles (as many as we could) and one of our favourites; bees wax candles.

And of course a table isn’t complete without beautiful and welcoming personalized stationery. In this case, menus and place cards at each table setting.

We absolutely loved getting to do this shoot! It just really goes to show the talent we have in Winnipeg that we can plan and bring together a shoot in 5 days and still have it trend forward and beautiful; no detail missed. Thanks WPIC for the feature!
