the last 6 petals photoshoot

The weather is starting to take a turn here in Virginia with cool, crisp breezes throughout the day. I can handle fall, but it's the forthcoming winter that has me worried. So let's take it back to early summer today.

Back in May (before I decided to close my vintage shop, 6 petals) I worked with Mary and Zoe on a bold, bohemian, beach wedding shoot. Kristen and I chose bold vintage outfits from the 6 petals vintage clothing collection. I tend to gravitate to more earthy and neutral tones. Kristen is more trendy and colorful, so I knew she could help style all the ladies with bright pops of color.

We gathered a handful of amazing people to play dress up, have some fun on Fort Story beach (check out those rocks!) and look good. They totally nailed it. All of the girls are wearing dresses from 6 petals, and we even found some vintage tops for the guys.

I also designed the invitation using a photo of the heart backdrop that Troy of OnieTonie created for us. I love how it turned out!

Looking back at these photos makes me miss my little vintage business. It was a good run, but I'm also happy to not have two jobs. I'm enjoying more time and adventures with friends, family and my husband.

It's almost here! If you follow 6 petals on Instagram you probably saw a sneak peek of a few items. And there's LOTS more to be photographed. The first round of the 6 petals vintage clothing collection is right around the corner.

Still lots and lots of pieces to be photographed, but we're making progress.

This weekend I am staying put to continue prepping for the vintage wears collection. I've decided to dedicate another shop to the 6 petals brand to separate the two collections: one for the home/spaces & one for the lady. I will also be updating the original shop. It's been so rewarding to hear kind words buzzing about the new site and peoples' excitement for the clothing collection. So, THANK YOU...so, so much.

For now, the two shops are bare bones. This is all part of the branding process I suppose. More sophisticated inventory and attention to detail. I promise, you'll like it.
