50 Shades of RED - Feast on St. Valentine's

 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, BABY!!! We have been waiting for the holiday of LOVE to share this incredible shoot and event with you. As if you weren't excited enough to sink your teeth into a heart-shaped box of chocolates and gaze at a dozen red roses, feast your eyes on our 50 Shades of Grey-inspired tabletop installation from AFR's Annual Event.

This year's theme was great works of literature (and we believe 50 Shades is JUST that) which was held at the public library in downtown San Diego. Stacy Childers and the House of Style outfitted the gorgeous models, who took turns laying on our bed of roses, covered in chocolate covered strawberries! Literally THOUSANDS of rose petals embellished the stunning table from AFR's collection, along with black bookshelves displaying more passionate details - those we imagine would be a part of Ana and Christian's dinner party at home.

Once again, working alongside my fierce and fabulous partner-in-crime Ann Strobel of Ann's Plans, we created a masterpiece that just screams for attention and was quite the showstopper for AFR's event.

Enjoy - Laters Baby!
