If you've found yourself slipping into a Thursday afternoon slump, we've got just the thing to perk you right up! A stunning editorial that encapsulates all of the romance + beauty of Europe, but can inspire a vision for those of you planning celebrations in any locale. Though it may appear that this shoot, photographed by Lucia Gill Photography, was staged in a far-off Italian villa, it actually took place at her family residence in Santa Barbara, California. Filled with beautifully rustic details like lush florals, hand-lettered paper goods, and charming prop styling, we really can't think of a better source of wedding inspiration! Here's a bit more about the shoot from Lucia:

The dark, leafy florals by Seahorse Floral Design added so much texture + dimension to an otherwise light + airy editorial. A pretty contrast, that's for sure.

Wouldn't you love to enjoy an al fresco meal at this pretty table?!

We're pretty smitten with that stunning dress! If you are too, it's the Nora dress from Watters, which can be found here.

And if you noticed this couple felt truly in love, it's because they are! These real-life lovebirds tied the knot when they were young + broke, and couldn't afford wedding photography, so Lucia wanted to offer them the gift of this shoot to not only give them lasting memories of their commitment to one another, but remind them how young and in love they really are! So sweet, right?! Big thanks to the talented team of creatives below for sharing this lovely session with us today!
