When I look back on what we already accomplished with myThursd, I can honestly say beautiful projects have been done so far. This is one of them.
Nancy Zimmerman of Fancy Florals by Nancy is famous for her astonishing wedding designs. And she is often involved in inspirational Wedding Shoots. She has participated in the Alexandra Farms Garden Rose competition and has become a solid number two over the years. Last year in October proved just how good she is again. Look at this awesome result.
For Decofresh she worked on this project with gorgeous lilac, magenta, and purple tones. 'Vino before Vows' was the theme for the tasting and styled shoot they did for The Venue CU. As a preferred vendor for The Venue CU, Nancy was asked to collaborate with them for the wine Italian aesthetic event. After seeing the mood board, Nancy excitedly said "Yes!"
MyThursd Is a Platform for You as a Creative to Shout Out to Growers and Breeders
At the very beginning of myThursd, Nancy had Decofresh collaborating with her to get her the right colors of roses for this project. Decofresh prepared a package of 180 roses, Rose Venturosa, Rose Violet Hill, and Rose Country Blues. Holex made sure these flowers traveled to her wholesaler Kennicott Alsip.
Nancy:
"To complement the 'vino' theme, we chose to incorporate grapes into our decorations. Grapes were suspended from the tall centerpieces, the head table arbor, and our 4-meter diameter floral chandelier. Additionally, we created the 'vino' ambiance by filling the tall cylinders with wine bottle corks. But of course the most important thing was to have the right colors of roses for this shoot. myThursd is an excellent tool to find the partner you need in floral industry to collaborate with."
Nancy continues:
"We have long admired the beautiful rose varieties from Decofresh. And it seemed not possible for us to receive these beauties in the States. We also became a blogger for Thursd, and a member from myThursd, so we reached out to Regine to see if she could reach out to Decofresh to partner with us for this styled shoot at The Venue CU. We were delighted when we connected through myThursd's chat and Decofresh would indeed supply some roses. For our color palette we chose deep wine shades, violet, mauve, and fuchsia pink. Decofresh sent us the rose varieties Venturosa (a beautiful deep wine color), Violet Hill, and Country Blues."
Vino Before Vows - The Styled Shoot
The styled shoot is arranged before the tasting event, which is organized for couples who have confirmed their wedding date at The Venue CU. This allows them to sample the various dishes offered by the caterer. Ahead of the tasting, The Venue CU arranges for models to participate in the styled shoot, providing multiple vendors with the chance to collaborate and obtain stunning professional photographs of their contributions.
We created a win-win for all involved:
- Decofresh received gorgeous professional pictures, some social media posts, and a blog on my website.
- Nancy got the chance to work with these Kenyan beauties and saw firsthand how strong these roses were and how beautiful they opened.
- The Venue CU saw their place transformed with flowers.
- Photographer Rebekah Albaugh was able to capture it all.
- Fancy Florals By Nancy is the magical florist doing all this fabulous design.
- Macy Tester did Hair & Makeup.
- Calligraphy was done by Apricity Ink.
- Michelle’s Bridal and Tuxedo was responsible for the Attire.
- Catering was done by Pan and Cake.
