I am so in love with this inspired shoot in the newest issue of Rue Magazine and envisioned by the team at Gather Events. With the Hotel Shangri-la as the perfect backdrop, they conceived the perfect shoot for summer with bold colors, a relaxed vibe, and touch of tropical and exotic influences. Each collaborator went above and beyond to produce an incredibly beautiful look that is just perfect to inspire brides for the rest of summer.

How incredible are these florals by The Vine’s Leaf? I am in love with how she transformed the Althea Metal Arch!

I have always died for Lulu and Georgia‘s colorful rugs and am only more convinced I need one in my life.
