Modern Romance in Burgundy & Olive at Studio 131

Studio 131 in Largo, Florida set the stage for a modern, romantic styled shoot that blended sculptural florals, candlelit tablescapes, and sleek fashion. The palette leaned into deep burgundy, olive and moss greens, warm taupe, and creamy ivory, creating an editorial look that still felt welcoming and timeless.

The Look & Feel

JoBelle Design transformed the Ballroom, Courtyard, Lounge, and waterfront spaces with burgundy anthurium, white calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, and lush greens. Olive velvet linens, clear glass, and tall tapers cast a soft glow, while a minimalist strapless gown and tailored suiting added clean, architectural lines. Every vignette—from an intimate sweetheart table to the oak-tree ceremony setting—was styled to be both photogenic and functional for a real wedding flow.

How It Was Captured

Adrian from Limelight Photography documented the design with an eye for texture, light, and movement, highlighting the contrast between soft candlelight and bold florals. Christina of Heart & Root led her studio’s coverage and added a nostalgic spin with a vintage Super-8–style film camera (yes, the one that goes whir-whir-click). Those film snippets brought a dreamy, tactile layer to the story—proof that modern design and old-school romance play beautifully together.

Why It Inspired Couples

The design proved that couples can be bold and timeless at once: rich, moody florals grounded by natural greens; minimalist fashion balanced by romantic, candlelit atmosphere. It’s a look that translated seamlessly from indoor ballroom to outdoor ceremony, and it photographed like a dream at golden hour.
