Shall I compare thee to a SPRING day…. As this lovely season starts to bloom, I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite bridal fashion editorials featured in this year's Los Angeles Ceremony Magazine edition - Shakespeare in Love, photographed by Studio EMP.
Of course, I fell in love with the movie (especially hottie Joseph Fiennes as the poetically-challenged Shakespeare) and felt that our location at Ponte Vineyard Inn could set the stage perfectly for a stunning Mid-Summer-type fashion tale.
“This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.” Romeo and Juliet
“Here my soul speak. The very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly to your service.” The Tempest
“Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me” Anthony & Cleopatra
“Tis is my memory lock’d. And you yourself shall keep the key of it.” Hamlet
“Doubt that the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move his aides, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.” Hamlet
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.” Romeo and Juliet
“I do love nothing in the world so well as you – is that not strange?” Much Ado About Nothing
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?” As You Like It
“But, soft! What light through yonder window break? It is the east and Juliet is the sun.” Romeo & Juliet
“One half of me is yours, the other half yours. Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours. And so all yours.” The Merchant of Venice
“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” Romeo & Juliet
