Give Me All the Citrus

 Hello!  Welcome to Jarman Farm Events!  Today I wanted to share with you this beautiful Citrus Themed Stylized Wedding Shoot.

All of this was inspired by Arizona’s amazing citrus.  If you haven’t had an Arizona orange you are missing out!  I will never understand the Florida orange hype, because the citrus here is unbelievably sweet.  mmmm…  Christmas morning wouldn’t be the same without fresh squeezed juice from right off our trees.  Seriously, its the best!

The Place Settings

All the inspiration came while shopping at Home Goods, one of my absolute favorite stores!  I get so many great wedding pieces there.  I found these beautiful citrus place mats and I just had to buy them.  With that said, the citrus shoot was born!  

I paired those placemats with a wood grain charger, white dinner place, and white salad plate with gold trim.  ( I use those quite a bit!)  Gold silverware, crisp white napkin and to top it all off – Beautiful slice of locally grown grapefruit.   I absolutely love the color and texture the citrus brought in!

The Beautiful Flowers

If you know me, then you know that I love yellow.  I have loved yellow since I was a kid, in fact, I wanted yellow to be a big part of my wedding colors. ( That didn’t happen, but that is a story for another day!)  Seeing this bouquet at this shoot made all my floral dreams come true!  This was exactly what I had imagined my bouquet and wedding flowers to look like!  At the end of the shoot I was lucky enough to keep the bouquet!  Thank you Sydney!

The flowers were amazing and done by the talented Sydney Kerr.  This girl has talent dripping from her fingers!  find her instagram here: @sydneyelizaflorals

The Cake and Desserts

The cake table is always one of my favorite places to decorate.  For this shoot I was able to use my Nana’s old drink cart.  This little beauty is from the 1950’s and is still holding together amazingly!  I like to use it every chance I can!  She was always a lover of the beautiful things in life and I feel like she would be proud to know that her special items are bringing beauty and joy to others.  

The Cake was donated by the fabulous Jasmine with Suss Pastries (Suss is German for sweet, who knew?)

The mini Cake Cups donated by Rachel with Raeye Bakes and they were DELICIOUS!!!  

The Mother of All Chairs

Can we talk about this chair for a minute???  It is my new favorite!  I splurged when I bought this but I just couldn’t help myself!  Totally worth it! This new beautiful piece is now a part of my inventory and is available for rent!  

Its huge, its beautiful and so unbelievably comfortable!  I love everything about it!  Check out my Instagram if you want to see more variation of this chair and how I have used it at weddings and events!  If you were wondering where it lives when not at a wedding?  In my front room!  In fact, I am sitting in it right now!

The Gorgeous Ring

This was my first stylized shoot where a jeweler donate a ring for the shoot.  This ring was so beautiful.  I am swooning over pear shaped rings lately.  How do I convince my husband that I need one?  Luckily there is amazon for cheap version, am I right?  Maybe a Mothers Day gift? *Hint*Hint*

Jarman Farms Wooden Arbor

This isn’t new to my decor, but it was a beautiful addition to the shoot.  My Wooden Arbor with white curtains and a chandelier – looks like crystal but its plastic baby!  This piece is a romantic addition to any wedding, especially used as the backdrop to the vows. I love how the curtains billow in the wind…. heart swoon…

1962 Cadillac Surprise

I had a fun surprise for all the photographers by bringing out our 1962 Cadillac.  No one knew this was coming out to play.  I always like to add a fun little bonus feature since Styled shoots can be a little pricey and I want to make it worth their time and money!  They get what they came for, plus a little more!  I rent this bad boy out so if interested in doing pics or having it show up at your wedding, shoot me an email.  Lets make it happen!

Thank You!

Overall, this shoot was a lot of fun! Couple was amazing, the vendors fantastic and the decor was on point!  Thank you to everyone who contributed!  Be sure to give all these amazing vendors some love!      XOXO- Kelsey
