Springtime Editorial Collaboration with Mo and Co Floral at the Utah State Capitol

Spring at the Utah State Capitol is the epitome of hope that the winter is retreating where the first signs of picnics and florals emerge. This was the first shoot that Monet of Mo and Co Floral, had done and wanted to craft an enchanting springtime editorial. Our vision was to blend the classic beauty of the Capitol’s spring blooms with a fresh, bridal editorial style. This journey led us to create a stunning flower bonnet in collaboration with very reminiscent of this seasons’ Bridgerton, showcasing the season’s essence in an unforgettable way.

The Vision: A Floral Bonnet and Bridal Bouquet

Spring at the Utah State Capitol is synonymous with an array of classic floral blooms. The vibrant tulips, delicate cherry blossoms, and lush greenery transform the grounds into a canvas of natural beauty. Inspired by this setting, we envisioned a photoshoot that would encapsulate the elegance of spring and the timeless allure of bridal fashion.

Our collaboration with Mo and Co Floral brought this vision to life. Known for her innovative floral designs, Monet’s expertise was crucial in crafting a look that was both contemporary and evocative of classic bridal elegance. The centerpiece of our shoot was a flower bonnet, meticulously designed for freshness and breeze. The bonnet was a masterpiece, featuring hydrangeas that contrasted the natural splendor surrounding the Capitol.

The Creative Process: Under 20 Minutes of Magic

Creating this look was an exhilarating challenge. With a tight schedule and the unpredictability of spring weather and still short nights, we aimed to craft our floral pieces swiftly yet meticulously. The magic unfolded in under 20 minutes, a testament to the incredible skill and efficiency of the team. Monet’s expertise in floral design shone through as she deftly assembled the flower bonnet, ensuring each bloom was perfectly placed to enhance its natural beauty.

Mo and Co Floral’s selection of flowers was instrumental in achieving the desired aesthetic. By choosing blooms that were both vibrant and durable, we ensured that the bonnet not only looked stunning but also held up throughout the shoot. The final product was a breathtaking piece that seamlessly integrated with the Capitol’s springtime cherry blossom backdrop, enhancing the overall visual impact of our editorial.

The Shoot: Capturing Nanyal’s Grace

Our model, Nanyal, played a pivotal role in bringing our vision to life. Her poise and elegance were perfectly complemented by the floral designs, creating a series of captivating images that embodied the spirit of spring. The Utah State Capitol, with its’ blooming gardens, provided the perfect setting for the shoot.

Nanyal’s grace and natural beauty made her an ideal subject for the editorial. She effortlessly showcased the flower bonnet and bridal bouquet, bringing a sense of romance and sophistication to each shot. Her ability to connect with the camera and embody the essence of the floral designs was truly remarkable, making her a standout element of the collaboration.
