Styled Editorial | Rosewood Mansion

Inspired by the artistic traditions of Europe, we took our vibrant palette of deep jewel tones, terra cotta and heavy greenery to execute a lush and moody rendering. The Rosewood Mansion with its 16th century Renaissance influence created the perfect backdrop for our design. Our tabletop consisted of wood and steel constructed tables paired with upholstered chairs from AFR. All tabletop décor was kept clean and simple so not to compete with our terracotta stucco backdrop and ornate floral table runner. We used Versace dinnerware from POSH along with Pure stemware and beautiful Cutipol Rondo gold flatware. The floral runner by Lush Couture Floral was a dream! Full of color, movement and depth the runner poured from the mouth of a terra cotta tilting pot and cascaded down to the ground. Our invite suite was beautiful executed by Clara Doyle. With torn linen paper edging, the suite played nicely into our natural feel and Mediterranean influence as well as paired beautifully with the jewels of Shapiro DiamondsJar Cakery perfectly captured the pattern from the pillows on our tabletop and we kept the cake floral minimal with a simple swoop of bougainvillea. The bar was so much fun to style. I love the natural, lived in quality of a good mixed cocktail. We went for a Mint and Walnut Julep with beautiful details such as fresh mint, walnuts, Italian Port Wine, figs and a touch of Belgium linens. Our beautiful model was dolled up by Wendy Zerrudo with a soft updo and later was dropped for romantic waves. Our dresses from Winnie Couture were the sight of sophistication and romance with soft detailing in lace cap sleeves, intricate backing and soft silhouette lines.

Floral Arranging Class with Oh Deery

One of my favorite things about having a bigger and better studio is the fact that we can open our doors to more people and host more workshops. It’s so fulfilling to connect with different people that share the same love of creation and beauty. What a blessing! Love these images by Peyton Frank of our bouquet & bout class with Oh Deery Floral. Sweets courtesy of the lovely Hurley House. Many more classes to come! Some on the calendar now are cupping with Craftwork Coffee, brush lettering with Mint + Maple, and wreath making with Oh Deery for the holiday. More info on the classes can be found here.

Grit + Gold opens fresh digs on Camp Bowie

After two years on the Northside, we decided it was time to expand and to relocate. We hooked up with an architect, Domeo Design Build  and Jensen Commercial to build out the vision. While the process was extensive, we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Excited for new beginnings, a beautiful new space for our clients and the community that comes with Camp Bowie!

Fine Art Styling by Grit + Gold

dallas-wedding-planner-fine-art-stylist-grit-and-gold24

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.
