“I was so inspired by the gorgeous, ornate details found throughout Alice & Jason’s nuptials I decided to play off the theme and get really artsy for our cover shoot with Brian Marcus of Fred Marcus Photography. So I enlisted the help of Bess Wyrick of Celadon & Celery, who along with Arminé Ohanessian of R-Mine Bespoke created the stunning floral crown I’m wearing in the image below.  (Would you believe we originally connected via Instagram? Amazing what connections can be made on social media.) Head to Expert Style Tips to see how such a unique piece went from concept to reality.”  ~ Ceci
