Lavender is one of our most favorite flowers–as you may have guessed! So when we saw this fabulous shoot by Bit of Ivory Photography we had to share it with you all! Here is what Bit of Ivory Photography had to say about the shoot: Ever since I went to England last August, I’ve been dreaming up a lavender-inspired concept shoot. I wanted something organic and natural, but soft and romantic. Quite a few of my brides have wanted the vintage-feel in their own weddings, so I incorporated touches of that while shooting at this beautiful, unique venue/garden/barn environment.

Welcome back to another week on Love and Lavender–we hope you all had fun weekends!! We are starting this week off with a beautiful wedding that got our hearts pitter-pattering a little faster! Tessa and Marshall’s wedding was full of eye catching details! Here is what Sara Kristen Photography had to say about their day Because they had dated at college in Tennessee and it had been away from family and friends, when it came time to come up with the theme- they decided on “A Love Story” so they could take the opportunity to share their story with extended family and old friends that meant so much to them, but who might not have been able to get to know their significant other very well due to the distance. Tessa is an avid reader and loves vintage books which went along perfectly with the “Love Story” idea. It was important that little details throughout the event reflected parts of their story and who they were. Marshall loves the outdoors and the city where they fell in love, so it was quickly decided that they wanted to find a place near where they met, which could also serve as a halfway point for the two families to travel to. Family is important to the laid back couple and the thought behind everything was that it would be comfortable and intimate. A time for everyone they love to share the day with them.
