+ MENU

Imagine a romantic, drizzly spring day filled with the soft hues of fresh greenery and blooming lilacs, the gentle rustling of silk ribbons in the breeze, and a newly married couple gliding across a rain-sprinkled lake in an old canoe. This whimsical and enchanting scene was the backdrop for a recent styled shoot at the Studio on 212th, a tiny farm studio nestled in the rural countryside of Auburn, Washington.

THE VISION

Our aim for this styled shoot was to evoke a sense of romance, elegance, and antique luxury. We sought to capture the enchanting beauty of the brink of spring, where everything feels lush, delicate, and fresh. The palette consists of soft lilacs, pinks, greys, and touches of floral greenery, perfectly reflecting the wistfulness and timeless style of the venue.

INVITATIONS

Each invitation is letterpress printed, embodying the romantic details June Press stationery is known for.

Crafted from soft grey and white handmade paper with foggy grey letterpress ink, the main invitation and details card are wrapped in sage green silk ribbon and sealed with an ivory wax seal that is pressed with a dried flower. This combination not only adds unique texture but also creates a keepsake with subtle elegance and femininity.

The handmade paper envelope features a translucent vellum liner, softening the colors and adding an ethereal effect.

DAY-OF DETAILS

Each menu card is letterpress printed on handmade paper, creating a luxurious feel. To add a personal touch, place cards are decorated with the same ivory wax seal with a pressed flower seen in the invitation suite and a green silk ribbon tassel, playing with negative space to create a sophisticated and whimsical look.

The entire shoot felt like stepping into a scene from a Bridgerton ball. The soft rain gently falling as the couple canoed, the delicate ribbons fluttering in the breeze, and the rain pattering against the windows of the venue, all came together to create an unforgettable scene. As we reflect on this styled shoot, we’re reminded of the enchanting romance of a rainy spring day. The elegance, timelessness, and undeniable beauty of nature served as the perfect inspiration for this project.
