Great Gatsby meets Southern Living

Inspired by the trend of garden weddings, this styled shoot elevated it to the new level. As a new twist on the traditional barn venue, this wedding exemplifies luxury and elegance in a modern yet classic setting. It’s as though The Great Gatsby met a Southern Living magazine in the twenty-first century. The details are crisp, clean, and sharp while maintaining permanence with classic textures and details. Muted purples and greens accentuate the florals, and the treat table provides a basis for home styled luxury, including macaroons and two wedding cakes. (Yes, two!) As if this styled shoot wasn’t desirable enough, the entire creative team is composed of self-employed women who left the corporate world to start their own businesses. Now that’s modern living! These photos from Rachael Osborn Photography will surely keep you on your inspirational edge. Enjoy!
