Wedding Inspiraton ~ A Lovely London New Year's Eve Bash

We're smitten with this detail-packed styled photo shoot designed by Jillian of South Carolina-based, Mimi Nicole Events. From the gorgeous gold dress, to the beautiful florals and exquisite paper goods, there's so much inspiration!!

"When Erin of BerinMade approached me about collaborating on a shoot for the launch of her new Love Stamps Collection, I was immediately on board," says Jillian. "The inspiration behind the shoot came from Erin’s Love Stamps, which are great for the DIY bride as they allow a bride to buy everything she’ll need for her stationery in stamp form and then DIY her own invitations."

For this styled session, Erin used kraft, black, and gold as her main color palette. The envelopes were lined with gold glitter, which led to the idea of a Confetti Bar, which led to the idea of a New Year’s Eve dinner party wedding. 

"We loved the idea of an elegant, intimate wedding and set out to bring it to life," says Jillian. "We rounded up our favorite London artists, and together I think we created an enchanting evening perfect for a chic, city couple ringing in the New Year and the start to a new life together."

Want the full round-up of vendors that participated in this stunning session? They're all listed below. Enjoy!!

Three Trees Bindery

We've all seen the traditional guest books and albums at weddings - the delicate ivory color, the padded covers, the gold pens. It can get a little predictable, which is why we absolutely love this twist on a classic guest book or photo album by Three Trees Bindery!

Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, designer Michelle Skiba creates unique guest books, photo albums and blank journals, and offers her creations in her Etsy shop, Three Trees Bindery. A small bookbinding studio specializing in wood covered books, albums and journals, Three Trees Bindery creates heirloom quality memory books that can be customized for your wedding or special event.

Using wood and other natural materials each book is hand-bound with high quality papers, Irish linen thread and exposed stitching. The wooden covers are crafted from cuts of black walnut, mahogany, cherry, maple and birch bark. The books can be personalized for your special occasion with engraving, monograms, carving or with names and a date, hand stamped on a silver, brass or copper plate. Elegant and full of character, these books are made to last a lifetime.

Just take a look at the images below and you'll see why we adore these extraordinary bindings!
