Styled: Artfully Overjoyed at Willow

At Artfully Overjoyed we believe that collaboration is vital to creatives, which is why we love teaming up with other vendors for shoots! It not only gives us a chance to play around with different paper ideas, but work alongside extremely talented business owners. Today we are featuring our gumball glamour styled shoot we co-hosted with Courtney Ethridge last fall! Check out Artfully Overjoyed at Willow in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri.

Concept: Randomized Seating Chart

Of course a wedding day is about the couple getting married, but it’s always fun to create a unique experience for guests as well. We wanted our guest experience to play a larger role in the overall idea of this shoot, so we built the entire concept on it! The idea went a little like this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guests would use the monogramed coin they received in their invitation suite to take a spin at the gumball machine. Each gumball in the machine has a number on it, so whatever number pops out is where guests would be invited to sit. Once they received their table assignment, they’d grab a personalized gumball machine (a themed take on an escort card) and a conversation starter to help guide table conversations. From there we’d let fate decide who guests meet at their tables!
