Santa Fe Meets The White Sparrow

I don't think it's any secret that I have a total soft spot for bright and bold color. But did you know that I'm also secretly obsessed with ikat, air plants, and protea? Okay, so, maybe it's not such a secret!

So imagine my excitement when I saw this styled shoot pop up in my inbox. Hello, gorgeous! Not only are each of the details so absolutely swoon-worthy, but it was also shot at my all time favorite venue, The White Sparrow in Quinlan, TX!

Captured beautifully by Texas Sweet Photography and with planning and design by Embrace the Day Events, make no mistake about it, m'dears, there is so much inspiration to be discovered here and I'm thrilled to take you on this colorful journey — so let's jump right in, shall we?

From the designer, "The White Sparrow Barn is like a small slice of heaven on earth. You walk in and everything is white and overwhelmingly beautiful - it's truly an experience just walking in the place!"

"That being said, I wanted to design something that really stood out from the white walls and other work I had seen done at the venue."

"I pulled inspiration from interior design magazines and other various outlets and we all got to work."

"Rich hues of gold, copper, vibrant red, orange, and funky air plants were the starting point and the rest snowballed from there."
