Behind the Scenes
The team from Collab Creations Films put together this behind-the-scenes video that is so cool I really thought it stole the show.
Thanks again to everyone involved in the shoot as well as Style Me Pretty for giving us Inspiration to Reality as a venue for our creative effort. I had a great time and hope to do it again soon!

The Wedding Details
The event designer, the incomparable Liza Chung, just blew me away with the level of detail and creativity she brought to the challenge, as did cake designer Jaycel Adkins of the Etiquette of Chocolate and Chef Michael McMillan of Opus 39 Restaurant & Food Gallery in St. Augustine.
Liza’s said this about the shoot and the ideas she drew from the inspiration board:
“We chose the board because we are drawn to all things luxury and fashionable. We adored the Vera wang gown and authenticity of the styling with vintage frames. The florals spoke softly of winter and we love beautiful jewels and couture shoes. The board allowed for our own interpretation to expand to a realm of high style bridal fantasy.”
Here is the set she designed along with the food displays from Opus 39 and Etiquette of Chocolate.
The custom fur envelope was created by Liza. The invitation is from the Vera Wang Collection.

The Concept
Readers of Style Me Pretty, a fantastic wedding blog that receives over 3 million views a month, were given the opportunity to create their own wedding inspiration boards for the chance to be chosen for a photo shoot that would bring their inspiration board to life.
For us, Inspiration to Reality was amazing timing because we had been discussing ideas for our next project on the same day that Abby from Style Me Pretty had asked Little Black Book members about participating.
Now that Style Me Pretty has had the chance to show off the shoot I wanted to feature it on my blog and go into a little more detail about the shoot and all of the incredibly creative people that made it happen.
The Inspiration
A Style Me Pretty reader from South Africa created a board titled “This Is Fashion” and we were instantly in love with it and the possibilities it offered to us for the shoot. We could incorporate the fashion and glamorous elements that we love to see in weddings as well as bringing a winter theme — with snow in Florida — to the concept.
The Creative Team
Since we had so much fun on the Bridal Fashion Shoot a few months back I thought it would be great to get the team back together to see if we could take what we learned during our previous experience and have even more success than our previous collaboration.

Starting right now, Style Me Pretty is offering its readers an opportunity to see their inspiration boards come to life!
Here’s what Abby had to say about “Inspiration to Reality”:
We had such a blast with our From Inspiration to Reality Challenge that we’ve decided to make it a regular feature on SMP! We have vendors lined up from now until February who are super excited to turn your inspiration boards into a real life photo shoot, complete with tons of inspirations and ideas that can be translated into a perfect wedding. Leading up our next team is Agnes Lopez, a brilliant photographer out of the Southeast. Together with Liza Chung (event designer and florist) and Eric Torres (cinematography), the team is going to choose their favorite Style Circle inspiration board to bring to life!
I’m so happy to be a part of this and am even more excited to see what SMP readers have in mind for their inspiration boards. To enter, head over to the Style Circle and create an inspiration board.
