If you haven’t heard of the totally fab e-zine Utterly Engaged, then you should definitely check it out!  It is filled with tons of great tips, ideas, & inspiration for brides-to-be.  I’m a little late in blogging this, but last month I had the wonderful honor of working with Eva Chiou (event planner & Utterly Engaged editor) and Summer Watkins (blogger & event stylist of Grey Likes Weddings) in photographing a shoot for the December issue of Utterly Engaged.

For the shoot, Summer took us antique shopping at Country Roads Antiques in Old Towne Orange.  Eva gave Summer a budget of $100 and tasked her with finding vintage items to create a table scape & event concept.  I’ve never been antique shopping before but it was so much fun!  And Summer has an amazing talent for finding hidden gems & bringing together elements I never would have thought to put together!

Summer found the cutest little bingo set and it became the inspiration for our bingo & root beer float themed party.  Here are some photos from our day of shopping with Summer, along with photos of the fun table scape she designed.  Also, don’t forget to check out the full article in Utterly Engaged because Summer shares her shopping secrets!
