pink Archives • Branching Out Event Florist

When Alexandra Dillard, editorial director of Chicago Style Weddings, asked if Branching Out-Chicago would like to participate in the magazine’s fashion editorial shoot, the answer was a definite YES!!! and we would bring the garden!

Our inspiration was to combine florals with fashion in a fun, romantic, yet inventive way. The day of the shoot was amazing, collaborating with some of the best vendors in the business. Alexandra was a master at styling, as she and her team pulled from endless racks of gowns and tables of accessories.

Room 1520 was the perfect canvas with its white brick and natural lighting. Anamaria Vieriu Photography captured it all and Jennifer Tello with Amorella Events created content from the day. The team from Patty McGuire Hair and Makeup was on-hand keeping the models looking camera-ready at all times.

First up was our flower meadow; a summer garden in full bloom in which the bride could pick her favorite stems. The groom wore a floral pocket square. Our garden style graced the magazine covers, as well as being featured throughout the editorial pages.

The next look was a romantic garden party; urns bursting with blush, burgundy, and pale green flowers and flowering branches. The bridal bouquet was an assortment of unique flowers in shades of pink. To complete the look, we created a fresh flower lapel for the groom.
