In my 10 years of shooting weddings, I’ve seen many, many, many bridal accessories. The highest quality bridal hair accessories I’ve ever seen are made by my good friend Erin. They are truly one of a kind and built to last. So today we’re taking an up-close and personal look at 3 organic + handmade headpiece accessories by the ever-talented Erin Rhyne. She’s just recently launched her newest collection, so now seemed like a great time to share these images we shot together.
If you haven’t yet heard me gush about Erin’s work before, please refer back to the many times I’ve done so by clicking here, here, or here. The three pieces she brought to this shoot are some of her larger pieces that she’s created and they were stunning. With hair and makeup by Adorne Artistry and a shooting location of The Creative Chateau, we had the perfect team for a fine art vision for Erin’s pieces.
The first look definitely reminds me of a springtime forest nymph. The colors and textures are so abundantly cheerful. All the while, I feel like the black and white images fit right in with the look. It’s a very versatile piece, and I love the dress that Erin paired it with. The second piece, a halo crown, was perfect with a black gown with exciting flared wrist embellishments. The monotone gold blooms were the perfect contrast to the gown. I also love the height that the second and third pieces have. The third piece is so avant garde and different. Such a cool addition to any bride’s style. Can you imagine a look this cool for a reception or rehearsal dinner? The stuff dreams are made of!
As always, thanks for making it to the bottom of the post. You get a gold star and a little bonus! Today’s bonus is a behind the scenes (and admittedly low quality) GIF. Let me set the scene: we’re shooting, having a great time, when we decided we needed some good tunes on. We went with Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack (because duh). My good friend Carla of Whisk Bakery was on site during the shoot and she brought us all chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven. WHAT?! We danced, ate cookies, and had a grand old time. She’s a keeper!
