Styled Shoot | Lowndes Grove Plantation



A last-minute opening at Carlos Hernandez’s autumn photography workshop at Lowndes Grove Plantation led to today’s minimalist and moody post shot by Rachel Craig. Her big takeaway from the styling, one that brides can apply to their own weddings? You can create an elevated experience by focusing on simple, but high-quality ingredients,” said Rachel. “You’ve probably heard the quote from Coco Chanel, ‘Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off…’, right? Less is more.” You’re so right, Rachel. Take a look at the imagery below for inspiration aplenty, including that dreamy bouquet from Ginny Early of Enemies of the Average and that gorgeous gown and cape from BHLDN. Happy almost fall, all.
