A Rose-Draped Styled Shoot at Estate at Florentine Gardens

Photography: Alaina René Photography

A destination, styled shoot at Estate at Florentine Gardens in River Vale, New Jersey, near New York City gave us a rare chance to work at full, unrestrained scale. Lush florals in pinks and reds spilled down the grand staircase, while the ceremony space featured a ceiling-height flowing vine installation on the mantel and dual aisle runners in a fresh summery palette.

Not every couple wants flowers on this scale, but it's a useful showcase of range; the same hand that builds a quiet garden-rose bouquet can also build this.

Bridal details flatlay: beaded heels, engagement ring, a lace fan, and perfume styled with loose pink petals
