Hey friends!
We recently had the privilege of participating in a styled photoshoot at the historic Sydonie Mansion, nestled in Mt Dora, Florida. This stunning mansion, designed after the Alhambra castle in Spain, was the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous day filled with history and elegance on center stage.
Angela from Events by Angela was the mastermind in putting this day together. She shared her stunning design and selected the perfect pieces to bridge the gap between history and modern luxury. A few of our star players went out for this shoot with our Natural Louis chairs being center stage. These chairs, with their timeless design and natural wood finish, effortlessly blended with the almost regal atmosphere at Sydonie. Jennifer from Flower Smith created an unbelievable floral installation for the ceremony scene, which defined the space gracefully. Every arrangement added a touch of romance and softness that tied everything together.
On the tables, our Dahlia dinnerware and Sienna flatware provided a perfectly natural complement to the Louis chairs. It felt like the design was harmonizing with the mansion’s history. Something about the juxtaposition of natural elements and gilded accents that turns a table design into an actual visual feast!
Now, let’s talk about the real showstopper: our new Athens drink walls. The brown and cream tones were made to be a part of the Sydonie Mansion. It was earthy, seamless, and the complement of florals at the foot made it a complete focal point in the space.
In all seriousness, the real MVP in all of this was Andrew from Love and Covenant. While the reels and iPhone videos are fun to admire, nothing preserves the essence of the moment quite like a stunning photograph. Andrew was a genius in creating a gallery of photos that tell the story of this place, and this day. Here are just a few more of our favorites:
This photo shoot is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty that can be created when talented vendors come together with a shared vision
To Angela, Andrew, and Jennifer – thank you for your incredible talent and passion. Here’s to creating more magic together in the future!
