Thanksgiving Wedding Styled Shoot from French Buckets

There are styled shoots, and then there is this fall infused Thanksgiving Wedding Styled Shoot by  French Buckets. It seriously doesn’t get any more festive and gorgeous as this!  Since Fall is probably one of my favorite seasons, you can imagine how excited and in love I am with this one.  Oh, and add a fabulous Thanksgiving spread with all the fixings? I am bursting at the seams right now. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving? I can not think of anything at the moment as I am too distracted by the amazing and pretty details this styled shoot has to offer. From the super handsome couple, the lovely table scape design,  the elegant and festive florals, and the fall colors mixing so beautifully.  All resulting in a perfect Thanksgiving Wedding.  We give thanks to the uber talented team who have whipped up such a lovely inspiration for all of us. Have a joyful and wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy a bit of warmth and love from this gorgeous styled shoot.

A bit of the inspiration from Floral Designer  French Buckets
Old brick, worn cupboards, old silver and farm tables.  Pieces that have been used since the first thanksgiving.  Items so comforting and warm.  Pieces made from hand like the pottery from anthropologie and hand written thank yous from Darla Marie Designs.  Just a space that shares the harvest from the fields, friends and love. Clothing – Inspired – Comfy necessities that we would wear to a community Hootenanny.  Natural and intimate.  Wool jackets and worn boots.  Embracing all the things we cherish.
