Happy Valentine's Day! Although we should celebrate love every day, this holiday is a good reminder to take a moment to acknowledge your beloved, your cherished friendships, and the love you have for yourself. Let's celebrate it all with this gorgeous shoot, styled and photographed by the lovely Whimsie Photographie. 
Looking through these images was like wandering through a romance novel. The location, appropriately called The Gardens Venue set the tone for this utterly dreamy collaboration of talented creatives. The blooms by Emerald Grace Floral Design, the invitation suite by @whimsiedesigns, the chic couple wearing yours truly, and Friar Tux... all of it was pure magic! 
The lovely bride wore our eye catching Chrysalis gown. Adorned in bright blue flowers, delicate leaves and intricate ivory embroidery along with hand-tinted lace butterflies scattered among the flora, this gown is a work of art and especially gorgeous with her sparkling tulle under layer. The bell sleeves and sweeping train are utterly romantic and perfect for a garden fairy queen.

Soft and romantic, bright and cheery, and quite literally bursting with joy...these florals are everything wrapped into one beautiful display! Emerald Grace Floral Design truly knocked it out of the park from the ceremony florals to the bouquets. I love the different shades of pink against the blue flowers on Chrysalis...the most gorgeous contrast. 
No matter how you decide to celebrate Valentine's Day this year, I hope we all remember to hold the ones we love close and celebrate love every day!

Ohhhh Claire…this is the most wonderful Valentines present ever…my dress! I am over the moon that you chose this for your special Valentines Day blog. It makes up for not being able to embrace the man in my life as he is miles away in London working so hard in the Metropolitan Police and I am here in Somerset x
