Preppy Americana Inspiration Shoot

The early snowfall in the Northeast already has me longing for the days of summer and more than anything I want to just Mary Poppins my way into this gorgeous wedding shoot designed by Nashville’s Amber Housley. I adore every.single.detail.  The delicate blooms from Brocade Designs and sweet red white and blue color palette are equal parts vintage, rustic and preppy… and uber-Americana to boot! We leave you this week with bowties, pinwheels, and berry-filled drinks thanks to the gorgeous photography of Kristyn Hogan!

we heart your comments!
  1. Love the sweet country Americana style.

  2. Love everything about this shoot- but especially the stacked suitcases and clean, simple tablescape. Too often these vintage-styled shoots end up looking muddled and chaotic because there is just so much going on. Beautifully done. And that model’s hair!!! I am sad I didn’t see this before I got mine colored last night! Oh well, maybe in six more weeks…

  3. Eek! This is freakin’ awesome! Amber Housley gave me the greatest inspiration board to go off of to make that ring pillow. Looks great!

  4. Thank you so much for the feature! This was such fun inspiration to be a part of and always a joy to be a part of EAD :)

  5. Thank you Ami for sharing our shoot with your readers! We had so much fun putting this together and had a fabulous team work on this project!
