Day of the Dead Shoot-Behind the Scenes

Just a little glimpse into the “lounge area.”
I’m always in awe of the amount of work (and people) that go into setting up these shoots!
Ceremony Scene. Tracey from Tampa Wonderworks Films catching footage. Yup, that’s Elvis.
The table, mid-way through. With a lot of these shoots, there is a lag time from when you get there to when you start, so the table was worked on in phases.
Jeff, from K&K Photography in action. Did I mention it was blistering hot??
My partner in crime, touching up our “skull decal.” This was a big headache due to the intense heat but the final product looked really good.
Hey Y’all! Sorry for being so absent, just working a few big projects (which I will share as soon as I can). In the meantime, thought I would share some few “behind the scenes” for a Day of the Dead photoshoot, coordinated by MMD Events & Every Last Detail. Other wonderful vendors a part of the “team,” include K&K Photography, Tampa Wonderworks Films, Connie Duglin Linens and I’m guilty of missing quite a few others but will promise to include once we have some better photos to share.
Enjoy the preview!
And at some point, we may start video taping, what goes into the set up, prepping the table via Amy Atlas V-blogs which I think are sooo much fun so please, stay tuned….

Renaissance Vinoy Wedding by Limelight Photography

IMAGE CREDITS: LIMELIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
At Chic Sweets, we are so not afraid of color around here. In fact we say the more the merrier, and apparently we aren’t the only ones with a penchant for going outside the box of usual color palettes.   I believe we found our match with our next couple, Colleen and Jared.  Not only did they integrate their wedding with every ounce of coral, ivory and apple green they could muster, they also made sure to have every possible candy you can imagine at their dessert table.
Shot by the amazing Christi from Limelight Photography, this Renaissance Vinoy wedding has a personality of its own and we were in love with every inch of it. From the poms that we assembled from our favorite Etsy seller, Nai from Party Poms, to the wonderful Paper Source Lokta print that used to line our vessals, everything just really came together.

Style Me Pretty Feature: Photo Album Dessert Table, Part I

IMAGE CREDIT: LIMELIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
Happy Friday! Hopefully by now you have checked out our amazing Style Me Pretty feature here. We also wanted to share some of the wonderful shots here at Chic Sweets.
The story of this table really began with a cute little template from Two Yellow Shoes and I just really took it from there. Lots of times you may find that these photoshoots can become “overstylized” and maybe even overdone; however, I just wanted to create a scene that felt beautiful and serene.
Right away, I knew I wanted to do a ribbon backdrop. I just thought it would be great with the beach wind and add to the laid back feel. From there, the rest of the table fell right into place. We had a few challenges on the day of-the weather was completely chaotic. Huge thunderstorms loomed all around us, but we managed to pull it off! Thankfully, our other photoshoot partner, MMD Events provided a wonderful model (Vanessa), She did an amazing job despite the weather, and truly, could she not look more perfect?  MMD Events also put together the loveliest of tablescapes that complemented the  entire scene, and who to capture it better but our friends, Rebecca and Michael over at Limelight Photography.
We’ll post Part II next week! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Macy’s Dessert Table with MTV’s Callie Walker

 
So here at Chic Sweets, we were super excited when Kristina from Fab-Events called us to set up a dessert table for Macy’s Back to School Show, hosted by the GORGEOUS Callie Walker from MTV’s the Real World Washington D.C.  It was last-minute but everything came together great. We actually do not get to work with red & black color palette too often so we were totally up for the challenge.
For our backdrop, we used some wonderful hanging bud bases and also mason jars from Pottery Barn (love that store). The rest of the table was complimented with shades of white candy, accented with black and red ribbons.

Please excuse the poor quality of the pictures (and a very-tired looking me)…

Enjoy!
