Mad Hatter Photo Shoot

Bits & Pieces Wedding & Event Rentals

One of the very best things about owning Raspberry Hill Boutique (211 E Aspen Ave in Fruita, CO) is the fact that I get to work side-by-side with some amazing local vendors. In the boutique we have hand made soaps, lotions, bath bombs, candles, hair accessories, screen printed and sublimated tees, natural stone jewelry and so much more all made by local artisans. One of my vendors is Cindy Farrington with Harmony Lane. She has an amazing knack for finding fun funky vintage items! She has collected so many wonderful rare finds that she is starting a wedding and event rental company to share these items with the world… check out Bits & Pieces Wedding and Event Rentals at Raspberry Hill Boutique! To kick-off her new business she decided to collaborate with some of our artisans and other local vendors to pull off a styled photo shoot as funky as she is to showcase some of her available rental items. FUN!

The Venue

We have access (thanks to my amazing neighbor) to an industrial paradise next door. It has crumbly brick, exposed electrical conduit, vintage iron doors, and more! We set up 4 separate vignettes in this area as well as 3 more in the neighbor behind us’ patio area. Thanks Hot Tomato!

The collaborators

We had an amazing bunch of models that allowed us to snap shots of little girls playing in the garden, a family having a tea party, the mad hatter herself, and a beautiful bride! The ever sweet Jordan Perry of Carved Tree Photography captured all this and more. April of April Marie Events kept us all on track and on task. Beauty by Lynze did all of the adorable hair and beautiful make-up. Sam Wyatt of The Maven Pen created a funky hand lettered Cheshire Cat denim jacket and sandwich board sign for us. Katy with The Pearled Rose hand crafted some amazingly adorable mini Mad Hatter hats with feathers, flowers and more for the little models. And then there were all of the goodies!!! Cakes, cookies and scones thanks to Pistachio, Simply Cakes by Camberly, and Ever After Cakes and Creations. The flowers were provided by Bride and Bloom Design. The bride was outfitted by Annelise Bridal. And I am sure that I am forgetting someone!! There were so many amazing people involved in this project!! I had a blast creating fun clocks and frames, moss covered tables, vintage porch post arches and more. I am so very thankful to be apart of such an amazing group of women and can not wait to see the photos that Jordan captured! Watch our page for sneak peeks and full photo release.
