We had so much fun creating our backdrop for our new spring/summer Weddings in Arkansas issue fashion shoot (which will hit newsstands at the beginning of May)!! The fabulous Nancy Nolan let us into her studio the day before the shoot to set up. Here was our color palette:

Seems like a lot of colors, but they all went together so beautifully!! We love how the soft pastels mix with a pop of hot pink and orange for a fun, fresh shoot. And, here’s a look at how we put our fun streamer backdrop together. It took a few hours, but it was worth it!

The stars of the shoot: streamers!!

That’s me, Laura LaRue. Nice to meet you. Around our office everyone just calls me LaRue. 🙂

Almost done! We kept adding, and adding, and adding until we got the perfect amount…

That’s our awesome photographer, Nancy Nolan, testing out her lighting.

Our art director, Mandy Keener, had to keep us entertained! We were trying to make her face the cake topper 🙂

Gorgeous dresses waiting to be steamed and photographed!

Meet Pearl. We love Pearl. Here, she and Mandy added some extra streamers and confetti before we photographed our wedding cakes. Sorry, we had to crop the picture…we can’t show you all our shots before the issue is out!! 🙂

This week, we are busy choosing fashion, cake & floral images, creating layouts, and finalizing layouts, etc. for the new issue. We can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned!
