MODERN TROPICS
We were so excited to put together a styled shoot for Brides of Oklahoma magazine! We wanted to create something that was out of the box; something different than what our brides typically go for. We started thinking about some of our favorite places, when we settled on Palm Springs! We are drawn to the modern, mid-century vibes with pops of color. Since the Tulsa Club Hotel had just opened, we were so excited to get our foot in the door and create something beautiful! The art deco vibe of the hotel made for the perfect backdrop.
You can see how it might have been easy for us to choose a venue for this shoot! The beautiful modern ballroom at the Tulsa Club.
How fun are these cocktail stickers? Such a fun way to customize + personalize your cocktail hour!
We decorated the gold bar back with glassware and bud vases with unique blooms.
The Tulsa Club created the most beautiful salad to go with our theme! Our mouths were watering and we were trying not to steal a bite during the shoot!
Our model (& former NAE bride!) Mary Kris is wearing a classic and chic gown from Ellis Bridal. The hotel itself made for the most beautiful background - this green and gold art deco wallpaper on the mezzanine was such a statement.
Hair & makeup by Muse Beauty Bar!
Selecting a linen was an easy choice for us - black velvet all the way! Since gold and acrylic play a big part in our theme, these Nova chairs were also a no brainer.
Laurel & Marie brought our vision to life with these menus! Laser cut vellum with the menu printed in white ink. SO COOL!
Another one of our favorite pieces. We had this display made last summer, and have had so much fun changing it up in so many different ways! Laurel & Marie printed a welcome on a white sticker, and carefully attached it to the acrylic board!
Just WOW. Will never get over this stationary! I mean, gold acrylic palm leaf invitations?!
Is it 5 o’clock yet?
Sometimes all you need is love, and we love a good neon sign.
The coolest bar arrangement by The Flower Shop Pryor!
All Things Cake created this stunning 4-tier masterpiece with gold details and sugar flowers.
More amazing blooms by The Flower Shop Pryor!
We chose to incorporate emerald green because of the colors in the Tulsa Club. This velvet lounge furniture could not have been a better fit, and came from Party Pro!
For place cards, we wanted to do something out of the box (or in the box, HA!) We found these acrylic boxes, put a single bloom in each, and had Laurel & Marie write each guest’s name on the top.
We recently purchased this acrylic display to put donuts on. We just love it so much, we knew we had to incorporate it in the shoot but donuts didn’t really go with our vibe! We found these fun, hot pink tassels and attached the escort cards and gold palm leafs that Laurel & Marie created for us.
The view from the terrace at Tulsa Club is AMAZING.
Beautiful lobby at the Tulsa Club.
