a charming mess

June 29th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Uncategorized - (2 Comments)

“These days more and more brides are falling for a DIY wedding aesthetic that values beauty as craft and embraces the charming quirks of creative imperfection. There’s no reason why this aesthetic can’t be explored further with cakes that incorporate a deceptively messy quality. What these cakes lack in perfectly angled fondant and delicate detail work, they make up for with mouth-watering scrumptiousness, playfulness, and organic fluidity: oozy chocolate ganache, fresh, juicy berries, and liberal layers of rich cream. While not fitting of every occasion, these pieces are a refreshing reminder that a cake is after all…a cake.”

Mod Pop | Styled Shoot from Matt McNeill on Vimeo.

 

“It’s not often that I have the opportunity to go crazy with a look: Blemished grain, washed out contrast, gritty locations, flawed colors… While the things happening in front of the camera could have been interpreted in any way, I was more focused on peculiarity than the actual beauty of it. Add some awkward camera angles and Alicia Rico and you’ll have modern pop! The music choice is a Les Gams (French) cover of a non-hit single by The Exciters, He’s Got the Power–– A Le Truc!”

Inspired by the season and their location (the backyard of Katie’s childhood home), Katie and Walker used a spring-y green, white and ivory color palette to plan an “informally elegant” wedding.
