    Last night I teased that I had something special to share with you today and boy do I ever! This Jane Austen inspired shoot comes from Melissa Oholendt. Melissa is an amazingly talented photographer based in Minnesota who teamed up with some spot-on vendors. Not only was Melissa the photographer for this beautiful shoot she came up with the concept.The minute I saw these images, I fell head over heels in love with ever little detail…and the couple? Simply stunning together! Their chemistry is breathtaking. Take a look…

      What a stunning couple of course I love the styling, but if those two aren’t together… they should be!

      Fabulous photos of an equally fabulous-looking couple! The florals are all beautiful, too, and that cake is lovely.

      Let me catch my breath! I soaked in every detail of this emotion moving shoot. The teacup with the raspberries…simple, clean, and perfect. The yellow plate I love, because I just love yellow! I was researching guinea feathers last night and here are what looks like guinea feathers in the boutonniere! Necklace is WOW! Mixture of elements just moved me.
      Naomi, again I say thank you for moving my spirit. Pure chemistry here.
      I have read Jane Austen; she is forever with me.

      My fave part is the COUPLE! As gorgeous as everything else is (that cake topper is a WIN, for sure), they are just stunning. Are they a real couple? Their children could take over the world!! Oh, and I love the fashion, natch. ;)
