1930's love story inspiration

I absolutely love this styled shoot by Marilyn Nakazato Photography. The perfect balance of vintage inspiration and modern sensibility. Whether you are planning an upcoming dinner party, social event, engagement soiree or wedding - Draw on inspiration from your favourite love story.

Based on the acclaimed bestseller, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS tells the story of an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.

"The reception tablescape included centerpieces with pops of color against soft creamed colored flowers to tie in a bit of the whimsical circus element. We chose to use vintage mismatched china, platters and colored goblets along tea light candles against intricate beaded table linens to create a soft intimate glam in an outdoor setting.” - Marilyn Nakazato.
