Bespoke Wedding Announcement for Sand Dunes Styled Elopement

November 2, 2017 Ruth Jahja

As seen in Style Me Pretty (2016).

So I've been living in California for almost 10 years but I never been to any unique or cool places. I'm pretty much stay at the boring commutes of my home to apartment, then from home to my work place. One thing that I do like about styled shoots, I've been to so much more beautiful and one-of-a-kind venue! It's totally open my eyes on how pretty Los Angeles and California could be!

So for this shoot, I'm super excited to finally meet with Tanya from Tenth and Grace and Nicole from Hint of Chic. I've collaborated with these lovely ladies before and so very excited to finally turn my online connections to offline connections! For bonus points, they also bring Jenny from Chloe+Mint where we bonded over Korean BBQ!

They we're planning a styled elopement shoot, so I did a wedding announcement with a set of handmade wedding vows, both with handmade paper from Silk and Willow. I combined this with Arpa handmade envelopes for the addressing and hand-drawn leaves liner to match the wreath design elements. There's also handmade place cards and a little love letter with ribbon and gold fleur-de-lis wax seal for props. And I just love how perfect the gold of the wax seal ties in with The Mrs. Box.

When finally arrive at the shoot location, it is magical! For a second, you almost forgot that you're in California! Drop dead GORGEOUS! So please enjoy all the beauties and let me warn you, there's so many pretties for you to scroll!!
