Styling with Ginny Au

dallas-wedding-stylist-ginny-au-workshop7

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely and crazy talented Ginny Au for tips on styling, design and taking about the overall experience we set for our clients. It was a fabulous day held at Hickory Street Annex with talented vendors such as Bows and Arrows, Frou Frou Chic, Signora Emare, Wallflower Management, Samuelle Couture, Script Merchant and more! Thankful for these images by Charla Storey to capture the fun. We discussed styling in a natural setting, letting our approach be humble and authentic with a minimal and effortless look. Being expressive, intentional and passionate. Tempting all the senses with fragrant floral, lighting and tangible mood boards. Creating an environment for clients to experience the journey of design. Oh did I love this class!! Ginny you are indeed a genius. Thank you for inspiring Grit + Gold to be better, and to see the world in all it’s beauty.

Fine Art Styling by Grit + Gold

Fine art refers to a skill used to express the artist’s creativity, or to engage the audience’s aesthetic sensibilities, drawing the audience towards consideration of more refined or finer work of art. I love this shoot because it focuses on the small, somewhat inconspicuous objects and moments that pull the entire frame together.  The way she holds her veil or the crease in the table linen, all evoke a feeling, a setting, or experience.

Loretta rocks weddings!

Last year we purchased Loretta. She was a 1957 Chevy Bel Air from Ennis and belonged to a policeman. She was in dire need of a restoration. We stripped her down to bare metal, replacing flooring, complete interior, new paint, bumpers, chrome, tires, making her sparkle like new from inside, out. She is a our labor of love and now to she her carrying couples around DFW is BEAUTIFUL.

Interested in booking Dolly or Loretta, contact us or go directly to the main site at Bowtie Vintage Classics.

Check out this peek from our fellow G+G partner, Nine Photography. Congrats to Alex & Chance who wed recently at 809 at Vickery in Fort Worth!
