Forever Linked, Ponts des Arts, Lock and Key Wedding Ideas • Featured on Ruffled

SHARE THIS STORY

I have a little love affair that goest on in my heart when it comes to Europe, especially France – the inspiration for our Forever Linked, Ponts des Arts Lock and Key wedding inspiration shoot. And today, I’m happy to announce it’s being featured on Ruffled!

From cobalt blue ribbons, hand painted color block keys, to very special nail designs, blue glass, a marquee bar sign and so much more, here is how our vision for our styled shoot came together with the work of a fabulous team! Special thanks to Ashley of Dulce Dream Events – the two of us put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this one and I couldn’t be happier to have worked with her!
