How Sweet It Is To Be Loved

Styled Inspiration

13 Feb

valentines day love letters bottega louie

We’ve got a little something sweet for you just in time for Valentine’s Day! Inspired by one her engaged couples and their heart-fluttering love story, Los Angeles event planner Hylah White set out to create a swoon-worthy collection of photos depicting their fairytale. From real love notes between the couple re-written in calligraphy, to decadent Bottega Louie cakes and sweets, this romantic Chanel-inspired shoot is filled with beautiful details showing how sweet it is to be loved and to love.

“I was inspired to tell Rachel & Brian’s love story through a series of photos taken by Anna Delores Photography. When they first met, Rachel had plans to move across the country in just a few short days. Brian knew he couldn’t just let her go without trying. During the first six months of their courtship, Brian would mail love letters to Rachel, making it impossible for Rachel not to fall head over heels in love with him.

Brian’s love letters reminded me of Coco Chanel’s Classic Flap Bag. Under the top flap, there is a little secret zipper compartment, and, as the story goes, Coco had this secret spot made to stash her special love letters. Swoon!

We had a tasty assortment of tartlets from Bottega Louie for the couple to enjoy while sipping on champagne and cheersing to their love. Seniman Calligraphy wrote out one of Brian’s love letters and she also wrote in calligraphy on Macarons from Bottega Louie, emphasizing how sweet it is to be loved and to love. All these lovely details told a love story told within a love story.” – Event Designer, Hylah White

Here’s to celebrating our glorious Mother Earth today and every day! 🥂🌎🌷

This gathering was a celebration of food, nature and likeminded friends at @thewunderkammer_urbanfarm in the spring of 2019. 

Surrounded by an abundance of blooming potted flowers + plants, animals, various gardens, a wild meadow and beautiful life-sized topiaries that flanked each end of the table we sat at...it was one of those magical evenings thats exceptional beauty and spirit was made possible by Mother Earth...and the thoughtful aesthetic of @thewunderkammer_amsterdam, of course!

Two springs ago @juliepaisley and I traveled to the Netherlands to experience the rainbow of flowers that bloom across the country. The sun barely made an appearance during our entire trip but that didn’t stop the glorious spectrum of color that captured our hearts day in and day out. 🌷 🌈 

During our trip we had the “pinch myself” opportunity to meet with @thewunderkammer_amsterdam for an evening of floral fun. ⬆️ That glorious photo above was designed by the artful design duo for our gathering! #myheartsaflutter 

While I haven’t been able to share the story of our time in Amsterdam as I’d hoped in the magazine, I will be sharing it here over the course of the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy this colorful dose of spring in Holland!

PS - I’m currently sharing an opportunity to flower alongside The Wunderkammer over at @the_floral_pantry!! Be sure to check it out to flower the day away with us!
