Winter Bridal Beauty Ideas December 23 2015, 0 Comments

'Tis the season for glad tidings and joy! We teamed up with Save the Date Beauty, Wonderlust Photography, & Kathryn Bass Bridal for a holiday styled shoot and it was the perfect photo shoot to get us into the holiday spirit!
Oh, and to top it all off; most of the jewelry & accessories in the shoot are brand new! They will be coming to the website this January, but if you simply can't wait to reserve your favourites, feel free to email us at info{at}theborrowedcollection.com or use our live chat to inquire! And remember, if you live in the Lower Mainland, you are welcome to request a consultation to view the collection in person!

Winter weddings offer brides a wonderful opportunity to infuse the whimsy of the holidays (or the glamour of New Year's!), into their bridal look. We LOVE the red lip that Kristy & Shaina of Save the Date Beauty chose for this look.

Bridal Style: Pride & Prejudice at Cecil Green Park House June 23 2015, 0 Comments

We had the immense pleasure of working with Ken Tan Photography & Sahba Seifi of Sereno Weddings, on a beautiful collaboration at Cecil Green Park House. Ken is a talented film photographer, whose passion for photography comes through in every frame, and this Pride & Prejudice themed wedding editorial is no exception!
On the day of the shoot, the atmosphere was truly electric, as we worked alongside some incredibly talented vendors to bring Ken & Sahba's vision to life. It was wonderful to have so many inspiring individuals on set, each lending their own talents to the collaboration (the full list of vendor credits can be found at the bottom of this post).
Without further ado, we present you with a pretty, polished, and perfect, Pride & Prejudice themed styled shoot.
