Southern Style Royal Wedding – Grand Shoot Contest Winner

Made for a princess yet fit for a queen, this royal styled session is the result of the Annual Grand Shoot Contest.

Groups of elite wedding vendors from all over Georgia came together and split up into teams tasked with creating an epic styled shoot that would be presented to a panel of industry judges. The winning team was awarded a feature in Glittery Bride and a spread in North & Peach Magazine. After careful review of all the amazing submissions, “The Royalettes” were awarded the win!

At the time of planning, the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was right around the corner. In anticipation, The Royalettes decided to create their own vision of what the special day would be like but with a Southern twist.

The theme ended up being an “All American – Southern Style Royal Wedding” complete with classic colors of whites, golds and soft blues. Each vendor involved worked tirelessly to contribute to a romantic palette that would never go out of style while staying true to the “royal” theme.

There were so many magical elements that made this session special. The bride wore a breathtaking gown with a low plunging neckline and a stunning open back. The gown was the perfect balance between elegance and beauty – in true Meghan Markle fashion. The adorable corgi really stole everyone’s heart. With a gorgeous flower collar, its safe to say this little cutie was the star of the show.

The tables were lined with soft blue linens and the most elegant china place settings ever! Matching blue candles were carefully placed among the regal floral centerpieces. The decadent 4 tier cake built upon the theme with its blue frosting and other royal touches including a crown at the top.

Beautifully, hand-written invitations, menus, and place cards were used to further tie in the elegant theme.
