Sioux Falls Wedding Law Theme

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:38:43 +0000

South Dakota Wedding Style pulled together a number of Sioux Falls vendors to bring you this Law themed concept to creation. They took this concept board and made it a reality at the Old Courthouse Museum with Jeff Sampson Photography to document it all. When thinking about law we thought of books, courtrooms and robes and selected rich deep colors. Gold, burgandy, blacks and browns.

A formal affair was in order that meant a full length dress from Lasting Impressions and a tux and bow tie from The Men’s Warehouse. The beautiful gold jewelry was on loan from the always wonderful Faini Designs and Hair and Makeup from Platinum Imagination. While Envision Wedding Studio, Brookings Hy-Vee Floral and Ideal Wedding Center combined to put together the reception and cake tables. It is great to see our wedding vendors come together.

No event or even shoot is complete with out food. We were fortunate to have hors d’oevres from Chef Dom’s and not one, but two cakes. The brides cake from The Cake Lady’s and the groom’s cake from Chef April Austin. Of course we had to consume the hors d’oevres after the shoot and we can all vouch for how wonderful they were.

Please enjoy the many wonderful images that our Sioux Falls wedding vendors can supply for your wedding day.

SD Wedding – Evening Elegance

admin — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:23:56 +0000

We envision this beautiful wedding taking place at a wonderful location like the Washington Pavilion or in a draped tent from Ideal Wedding Center. Imagine the richness that can be created with this palette.

Deep smokey eyes on a bride with a full-length sheath dress with a hairstyle inspired from Hollywood or a more modern headband and poof. A groom would look rather charming in this J. Crew fitted tux and bowtie.

Let you guests know that the wedding will be elegant by using letterpress on your invitations. The possibilities are endless for this South Dakota Wedding Concept.

For your South Dakota Wedding selecting your neutral palette is essential. Something must anchor your colors. Gone are the days of only brown and black for neutrals. Now we are ushering in an era of platinum, grey, beige, gold, peach and more. All of these lovely bridesmaid neutrals can be found at JLM Couture

South Dakota Wedding – Country Pattern

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:27:23 +0000

Patterns can be tricky to work with, but the right pattern can help to create depth and any feeling you desire. Just stick with your color scheme and also your desired atmosphere like our vendors did on this concept to creation. Yellow is an up and coming color. We are seeing it in pale and vibrant hues and paired with so many other colors. Here Envision and AC Ellis have paired it with black and white.

Envision Wedding Studio and AC Ellis teamed up once again to bring us a fun feast for the eyes. They took this concept board and made it a reality on a local South Dakota farm, just outside of Colton, with the help of some South Dakota wedding vendors. The cupcakes were created by O My Cupcakes in Sioux Falls and matched the colors of the creation yellows, whites and browns. The ice cream for the parlor was made by the SDSU Dairy Bar in Brookings, SD. Another famous location from Brookings is home to the Buy ‘Em By the Bag burgers, Nick’s Hamburger Shop. The floral design was provided by Sarah from House of Green in Brookings, SD. Sarah chose flowers that fit the light airy feel of the concept well.

While there weren’t models for this creation you can envision that the bride could wear either of the dresses from Interlude Bridal Shoppe. The short yellow dress is perfect for a small country wedding. Just in case the bride wants that long white dress the frills on this dress bring in the elements. Brides shouldn’t feel stuck to just one dress, how about they wear both. Grooms can also choose a casual outfit. Fergen’s Menswear contributed slacks and a shirt, a wonderful alternative to a tux. Although, they do have suits and tuxes at Fergen’s as well.

Sioux Falls, SD Wedding – Regal Black and Gold Concept to Creation

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:50:28 +0000

A record number of our South Dakota wedding vendors came together to make this concept board into a real creation. Each of the vendors provided a little write up on their contribution. Enjoy the information and all the images in the slideshow.

Envision Wedding Studio
This season, metallic décor is everywhere. We wanted to create a table design that incorporated the glittery elegance of gold while maintaining a classic, sophisticated feel.

With gold and other metallic colors, it is easy to get carried away; without proper editing, events go from gorgeous to Vegas-gone-wrong. By pairing it with classic black and white, the gold is able to be showcased without becoming too overwhelming.

We incorporated Spark Letterpress pieces that featured a refined black motif on crisp white paper. The centerpiece for the table combined dainty white orchids and calla lilies with black river rock and curly willow in varied height cylinder vases to create a subtle modern undertone, while maintaining the sumptuous elegance of the overall theme. All of these elements were pulled together through the small gold details including flatware from the Museum of Visual Materials, candles, accent ribbons, and dessert wrappers. Chiavari chairs from Ideal Wedding and Events take the up another notch. Requiring no chair covers to look elegant their simple open structure added to the gold coloring with out overtaking the total design.

On the desert table elements were staggered at different heights to please the eye as well as the palate. A cake from The Cake Lady’s with just the right amount of black detail became the centerpiece. Cookies, truffles and pudding with custom chocolate topping round out the offerings. Mirrors, drapery and small pictures frames held the sumptuous treats as well as inform your guests of their choices.

When Leah and I sat down to design and coordinate this shoot I knew we needed to include very warm moody lighting with dark rich surrounding. At The Washington Pavilion we enlisted the staff to hang the fabulous chandeliers as well as BPM DJ Productions for the back lighting. I then used some additional lighting to match the rich decor and surroundings. Aneta and Rane were the perfect models with their height and long lines looking regal and elegant in the sophisticated poses chosen for them. For processing I chose saturated colors to bring out the gold and match the decor and surrounding.

The Washington Pavilion’s luxurious décor and beautiful architecture provided the perfect setting for this regal black and gold inspired wedding. Dramatic lighting on the Great Hall Stage will wow guests and with a qualified staff adding accents like the chandeliers was a pleasant addition. The rich wood floors and thick black curtains

BPM DJ Productions one of our favorite DJ’s provided the background lighting that you see “feathered” across the back curtain was both subtle and powerful. This effect was created using two Chauvet Q-Spot 200 moving head light fixtures. Each fixture is capable of projecting 7 different patterns and 10 different colors. For this photo shoot, an amber bubble pattern was selected to coordinate with the colors of the decor and add that something extra.

David Jones Fashions put together and loaned us the groom’s suit, shoes, belt, shirt, tie and cufflinks. David Jones even had this extra large suit on hand which is great because our model Rane is 6’8″ tall. The dark suit with the subtle pin stripes were perfectly formal and at the same time comfortable. The rich gold tie was thick and textured. It matched perfectly with the simple belt that had a hint of gold. David personally put this ensemble together and we think he did a great job.

Platinum Imagination
Inspired by vintage Hollywood glamour and the gilded gold and rich black wedding colors, I created the wedding hair and makeup look for this South Dakota bride. The hair shape was based upon a photo of Tyra Banks with a similar hairstyle. I started with prepping the Bride’s hair with a variety of volumizing and soft hold sprays. Using a combination of hot roller and curling iron, I preset and pin curled her hair. When her hair was cool, I took out all the pin curls did a combination of finger and brush combing. The beautiful shape of the waves and curls directed me to where I needed to pin her hair in to create the style I was looking for. Giving her a side bang sweep that melted into a large formed wave and smooth loops, the elegant old Hollywood look is captured. A Birdcage Veil.com Hair piece in black feathers was added to tie it all in. For her makeup, it was soft opulence and monochromatic warm colors to match with the overall look. I prepped her skin with eye crème, moisturizer and primer first. Camera perfect foundation and concealer was next. The Bride has beautiful shaped eyes so I wanted to really focus on those. I did a combination of gold shimmer and chocolate brown eye shadows and to bring a retro touch, a sweep of heavy chocolate mixed with black eyeliner from inner corner to just beyond her lash line to give a cat eye look. I also added in faux eyelash additions to make her eyes pop. To really make an over-the-top impact, use real 24K gold eye shadow for that wow factor. To finish her look, warm peach crème blush first and then powder bronzer to her cheekbones, forehead and jaw. Her lips were a warm peach liner with clear gloss over the top. Mineralized Skin finish powder was used with a big fluffy brush to set everything in place and make her skin glow. All MAC Cosmetics was used to create this look.

We’ve put a spin on classic red, black and white. Sultry crimson floral and black lace are key in this South Dakota Wedding concept. The reception decor for this design would consist of deep red linens, black texture accents, black crystals and lace. A black corset ball gown is a great trade for the standard white.
