This Wimbledon Inspired Styled Shoot for Vow Magazine has everything a proper Wimbledon fan would approve of. Pimm’s, vintage tennis racquets, romantic pastel colors, strawberries with cream and beautiful smiling faces. When the talented Amy Stevens, Owner of A Lively Affair, asked us to assist with decor styling for this editorial shoot at the Norfolk Yatch & Country Club how could we say no to this perfect Prefect Love Match!
Comments from Amy / A Lively Affair
“Widely regarded as the most prestigious tournament, Wimbledon is likely the pinnacle in one’s career for a tennis player. Grass courts, a smart dress code and an event steeped in tradition. All a player hopes for is a perfect match.
Inspired by Wimbledon, the worlds oldest tennis tournament which began in 1877, we took our cue and designed the perfect Love Match – a preppy tennis engagement party complete with tennis whites, traditional strawberries and cream and, of course, a Pimm’s Cup. For this inspirational shoot with Vow Magazine, we partnered with many of our lovely and very talented friends at Cookies by Design, Just Cupcakes, La Bella Chic Salon, Leslie Hartig Floral Design, RSVP Stationery, Table Seven Antiques and Waterford Event Rentals.”
