Lakeside Woodland Dinner with Floral Chandelier

The Floral Collective Conference Shoot

filed in:

Amanda Veronee is one of those amazing women that has an idea and runs with it! It’s awesome! She wanted to host a floral conference and so she made it happen!! It was an honor to document this beautiful event that ended with dinner lakeside under the stars in Amanda’s backyard! It was gorgeous! The floral chandeliers were icing on the cake and I’m thrilled to share that I’m not the only one that thought it was gorgeous…. Style Me Pretty Living thought it was gorgeous as well! I’m so excited to share these images because they represent such creativity and vision.

And you know what I love about this shoot?? It was never supposed to be featured. It was just a dinner… a BEAUTIFUL dinner. Amanda just wanted gorgeous images of her vision and Tart Event Co’s hard styling work. But the funny thing is that when creative geniuses get together, stunning things are created and then we can’t help but submit them. So we sent this to Style Me Pretty Living and they loved it too! Enjoy these images and here are all of the incredible vendor involved! :
