Regency Garden Party Meets Contemporary Color Blocking

We cannot believe it’s been nearly 2 years since one of the most memorable creative days we’ve had—and we’re still fully obsessed! When Mack from Mack and Main approached us with her vision for this shoot, we were all in. Not only is Mack a talented designer in her own right, but she gave us the vision and let us run with it, which is the best way to make some magic!

The inspiration: Regencycore meets color-blocked pastel garden party. Mack envisioned a shoot filled with romantic maximalism, playful hues, grand floral gestures, and elegant vintage touches. Think Bridgerton energy meets modern art. It was bold, soft, and sculptural all at once, and gave us the perfect excuse to dream big.
