What's modern and edgy and all kinds of gorgeous? Say hello to today's 50 Shades of Grey inspired Galentine's Day Gala with florals by
Enchantment Floral and event design by
Party Crush Studio and
d.Royal Engagements! Captured beautifully by
Cari Courtright Photography, this pretty party had us at hello!
From Jeanette of
Party Crush Studio, "For months, I have been working on my newest table linen collection and I just knew I wanted to share it with my amazing wedding pro-tribe."
"So what better way than to host a Galentine's Champagne Party! The concept for this shoot originated from my love of Valentine's Day and the team's obsession with the novel Fifty Shades of Grey."
"Galentine's Day is all about celebrating all of those fabulous friendships of yours!"
"So when I was thinking about whom I wanted to shoot this, it didn’t take very long to decide on one of my favorite people to work with — Cari from Cari Courtright Photography."
"Her style is so artistic, rich and dramatic and it has the perfect moodiness that I was looking to showcase my new linen collection."
"Seriously, her work might be your new obsession. In addition, I just knew that I had to enlist the help of Denice from D Royal Engagement to plan and help with the design."
"Thankfully, they're both awesome and spontaneous and have a love for textiles, champagne, and great discussion."
"We all really enjoyed being able to get all dolled up by
Jira Coutore Salon! It was a first for some of us who are used to being behind the scenes on the event side."
"I wanted something a little nontraditional and decided to that a Champagne Party was the perfect thing for our Galentines's gala."
"After a handful of meetings and plenty of messages, our dream was orchestrated flawlessly."
"Cari suggested we host the Party at SF Avenue Venue because she felt inspired by the space..."
"...and the art gallery by Mary Ann Leff new collection Shiny Bits which had the perfect color scheme and fusion of urban and romantic elegance."
"Choosing a color palette of mauve-y pinks, blushes, pewters, metallic, silvers, black and rose golds, we completely transformed the SF Avenue venue into a lounge."
"We pulled inspiration from 'Fifty Shades Darker,' that comes out this Valentine's Day..."
"...and added elements that inspired us, candles, modern china, glassware, quotes and textured textiles draped the table."
"Liz from Enchantment Floral provided the most stunning centerpiece and floral, how stunning is the heart wreath she created?"
"To break the ice and get the ladies mingling, we each shared our favorite quotes from Fifty Shades Freed! There was a wealth talent from stationary and calligraphy by JBG designs."
... like how cute is this, 'Get your cocktail on,' sign?
"The cake and desserts by
Ma Petite Maison Cake Design were stunning and delicious and how lovely are the cake stands that
Julia's Cake Stand rentals provided?"
"Working together we were able share our expertise with one another. And what a lovely time we all had on this day!"
'The night was full of laughs, champagne cocktails, and a date to see Fifty Shades Darker movie release." Um, where was our invite? Sounds like our kind of party!
So what are you waiting for? Help yourself to a cocktail! (or two!) And raise a glass, m'dears! Because there's so much to celebrate with this fabulous shoot! Plus we're simply loving this unique and moody take on a holiday that's typically reserved for bright reds and pinks!
