This is long overdue, but hey, who doesn’t want to celebrate Valentine’s day in July? 😉

I had the honor of photographing yet another of Cassandra’s creative visions this past February. This wasn’t just a styled shoot – it was a tea party for all of the female business owners in the wedding industry! How fun!

Forty-two Ten was the perfect venue for the intimate celebration! Outside, we had a lounge area set up for the girls to soak up the sun. Inside, one long table was set with a rose gold sequin table cloth, hand dyed ombre linen napkins and colored vintage goblets from Ever After Vintage Weddings. The Bride’s Bouquet provided all of the floral arrangements.

Jennifer from Oh Hello provided the paper goods – I loved the place cards and the fun MASH favor! Talk about a flash back! 😉

All of the food was delicious! Casey from Tastes of Tampa Bay provided a huge array of savory snacks and tasty sweets!

The whole event was a fabulous time – I loved having the chance to see some of my local favorites in such a fun setting! Such an amazing group of women brought together – encouraging and supporting one another in this business that we’ve all grown together.
