This lovely inspiration shoot from Shoot In Love Photographie is perfectly elegant and ethereal, which speaks of its setting in Bordeaux, France. The bouquet, dotted with blush and cream flowers and a lace wrap, is from Fleurs de Mars Artisan Fleuriste. We absolutely adore the casual silver bracelets from H&M and Claire’s, paired with the…
