Dream wedding

Most people will wear my favorite color is purple...it's not, it's actually blue. Not teal, not navy...but a dusty gray blue. So, it makes sense that I would create my dream wedding around my favorite color...
I was just browsing and I found these flowers...I love that they mimic the texture of the dress that I posted earlier...and all the interesting types of flowers. I'll have to do some research to find out exactly what each of these flowers are...


I started thinking about where I would have my wedding. The first place that came to my mind was Virginia House in Richmond. I'd also love to think about Agecroft Hall...I'll have to find some photos to post so I can share it.

There are some things I have absolutely loved when I have looked at wedding photos online...one, is the details. So few brides invest the time or thought into planning out little things...such as the socks the groosmen will wear, or the type of shoes they will slip on their feet. Beyond a doubt, I will be wearing Manolo Blahnik's "Something Blues" at my dream wedding. My husband however, will be thought about later. I do think I'd love for him to have on a pair of cream/grey argyle socks...and I am pretty sure I'd want my groosmen to be wearing argyle sweater vests. I found this photo online a long time ago and I have been in love with this pattern ever since.



To ease mike into doing this, I will promise him a tailor made Armani suit. he's always wanted one and maybe this could be my way into having my dream wedding:)

I also found these dresses for bridesmaids...they mimic the style of my dress and are in a charcoal grey.

What if....

A good friend of mine had a strange dream that I had a wedding....that my husband and I decided to renew our vows and she had this crazy notion that if I planned a wedding I would be wearing a cape and so would everyone else. After considering this for a minute, I thought it would be a really fun idea if I planned my own wedding here on my blog and shared my ideas and things I would do. The crazy part is that I have NO idea what I would even do if I planned my own wedding! So....here goes nothing....

First thing I would pick would be my dress. For me, an entire wedding is based on the brides gown.

Dress A: Anyone who knows me knows I love Christo's wedding dresses. I love texture and a flowey feel to fabric, or something architectural. I like this dress because There is so much movement in the gown that it wont feel stiff. This dress would be in my top 5 dresses to try on.

Modern Boudoir: Virginia Boudoir Photography


Nothing says I love you like a picture...after all, a picture IS worth a thousand words...

I have had the honor of working with so many amazing ladies over the years...but with out a doubt, the most fun shoot any client does with me is a boudoir session. These ladies bring sass, class, and glamour and they all kick major butt!

This is just a sneak peek of a few recent sessions. If you are interested in booking a boudoir session, send me an email and I will get you some rates and information! Don't forget, I have a brand new boudoir website also: www.tiboudoir.net
