I immediately fell head over heels with both the concept and styling of today’s stunning photo shoot captured by Marcie Lynn Photography. Featuring a preppy coral and navy palette with gold accents, this nautical-themed editorial by KMK Design, celebrates sisterhood and the honouring of those special friends in a bride’s life who are there to support her incredible journey. There is so much to adore, including the clever, theme-based messages of love and support woven throughout the shoot. Truly inspiring!

From KMK Design: We’ve been seeing a trend among brides in the last couple months that we hope is not just passing, but a soon-to-be tradition: extraordinary gratitude. Modern brides know that an often unsung part of their love story began long ago-sometimes well before the groom ever came into the picture-with the girls in her life who helped shape her into the woman she is at present, preparing to join her life with another. Many brides think of creative ways to ask their girls to stand by their side as they exchange vows, but even the sweetest poems and cards can fall short of truly honoring the women who have shown them support through the years. Enter the “Will You Be My Bridesmaid” luncheon. A celebration, carved out of the busy planning focused solely on the wedding, the “WYBMB” luncheon stops us to say thank you, and humbly makes the women in a bride’s life the honorable guests. This shoot shows KMK Design’s take on the event, nautically-themed in coral and navy, a sweet, but chic twist on the traditional. Gratitude, of course, is always in fashion.
