Today’s Inspired Creations Contest idea is a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n roll! The Midwest team of Paper&Velvet and Emily O Photography were inspired by the band Mumford & Sons, and vests, banjos, a chandelier, vintage silver pieces, feathers, sequins and cowboy boots were all in high form for this shoot! The ladies didn’t go too over the top with Glitter and Glam, but embraced a softer side of sparkle, leaning heavily on peacock tones, with punches of coral and pink for glamour. With a budget of $500, they stayed right around $200, finding a vintage gown for $20 at Goodwill, stringing patio lights and doily bunting for decor, and incorporating collected bottles and glassware for the tablescape. I love the vintage thriftiness!

I love all the vintage details! And that instrument pic with the boys is too cute!
I love this work this 2 women did! Their style is amazing. Wish I could get married again and have them be my designers.
These ladies can pull off amazing things with a small budget! Love the musics reference and they pulled off the theme with class and vintage flair!

Love this new relaxed country/vintage trend. SO beautiful and special.
I custom paint boots for the bride or any occasion. Not craft paint, I strip them,
re-paint with prof. leather paints, seal them, they are soft and beautiful and I add
swarovski crystals for a little sparkle. (or a lot…whatever is desired) I do other
art and make a gob of other items. Other website: http://www.wingedheartart.com.
