Cars drove up laden with exquisite jewelry and flowers by the bucket load. Women's dresses, in earthy hues and made of delicate gossamer, fluttered in the crisp cool breeze. Men's afternoon jackets and pink ties hung sober on a hanger. Everyone had arrived and with a purpose. I was empty handed. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was a fashion conspiracy.
There is something completely enjoyable about putting together a photo shoot. Just days beforehand we thought we'd take advantage of the flowers that had arrived for the bouquets for our booth at Anthony's Bridal Show. Alexandra Mosher had brought delicate pieces from her Bermuda collection: spoils of cufflinks, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings were spilled across Amanda's dining table begging to be picked. I was there to add my two cents worth i.e. to style. And so, under our collective watchful eye, what had only been an idea, came beautifully together.
Huge thanks to our models, Jadiyah and Weldon, who posed for hours as the dappled winter light fell to dusk.
