A Midsummer's Eve Inspiration Shoot

 The beginning of fall just beckons for a romantic, rustic wedding...doesn't it? We're always interested in creating inspirational shoots for our prospective brides because it allows one to see the infinite possibilities at Hidden Valley. Originally, we wanted to create an inspiration shoot that conveyed a theme with bohemian accents, but when we met with our friends at The Bee and the Bobbin and Chris Wojdak Photography, we found a new theme for inspiration: A Midsummer Night's Dream.

  What better way to celebrate the transition from summer to autumn than with woodsy elements and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Rich color schemes, lush floral arrangements, and romantic lighting transformed our property into a landscape worthy of any Shakespearean sonnet. Fading sunlight set the trees aglow and enhanced the natural beauty of the surroundings. Every detail hearkened back to a time when woodland fairies and young love ruled the world.

It's a Small World

  Hello everyone! We recently collaborated with some wonderfully professional people to create an inspirational wedding shoot at the property. Inspired by mid-century art, all the participants came together and produced a retro, chic set-up for brides-to-be. Thank you all for being involved with this amazing project- we had a great time making this happen!

  Be sure to check out the final product on a great wedding blog called Green Wedding Shoes. Like it, comment, and pin to your heart's desire!
