Here at GWS, we look for any reason to celebrate, so when stylist, Shelly Sarver, + photographer, Aly Carroll, sent over this sweet styled shoot celebrating a super cute couple and their 1st anniversary as newlyweds, we were all about it!

The ladies chose a fall theme, incorporating a local rustic barn as the backdrop, and served treats + wine from Gateway Market. They ended the chilly day with hot cups of coffee and fresh cinnamon cake - a pretty superb idea for fall engagement parties, bridal showers or weddings!

Shelly Sarver Designs crafted THE perfect fall bouquet, which happened to pair perfectly with a J.Crew dress + ornate Anthropologie belt.

We love this styling tip for fall brides: throw on a chambray or plaid shirt for your reception when the temps did lower! And a stylish hat will only sweeten the look :)

We're totally going to pin a few ideas from this pretty sweetheart table to use as Thanksgiving inspiration!

Aly tells us, At the end of the shoot they announced they were expecting their first baby which was a fun surprise!

A big thanks to the talented team below for sharing their work with us today!
