Broke Down Bride

I have been DYING to blog about this for over a week now!! About a week and a half ago, the fabulous Armando of Get Your Do Up & I teamed up to bring to life a concept we had dreamed up several months back. OK, time to back up a bit. A few months ago at the Wildflower Linens premier, I met Armando. We hit it off immediately, and as we gazed at the brightly colored linens decorating their showroom, inspiration struck. And a concept was born. A concept which finally became a reality a week ago.

Remember Sandra? Sandra & Julio were married last September at Guglielmo winery. We had such a blast shooting her portraits on her wedding day. What I loved about Sandra was her willingness to do anything I asked her to in her wedding gown. Nothing was too crazy! So when it came time to find a bride willing to not only climb back in her dress, but get down & dirty, Sandra happily volunteered.

The concept: Take a real bride, and deck her out gyDOu style. And to all you brides out there: even if you get a flat on the way to your wedding, Armando will make sure you look fabulous.

Special thank you to Karen of Grandiflora who provided the beautiful bouquets for the shoot.
