Spring Styled Shoot and Social

Written By Marie Advincula

The Story Behind the Scenes

Embracing Collaboration and Community

As a calligrapher and artist, participating in styled shoots is always a beneficial experience for me. It's an opportunity to collaborate with fellow vendors, unleash creativity, and showcase our craft in unique settings. Recently, I had the pleasure of being part of a particularly special styled shoot that embodied the spirit of community and celebration.

From Photoshoot to Social Soiree

What made this shoot stand out was its evolution from a traditional photoshoot to a vibrant social event. Instead of letting the beautifully curated setup go to waste after the professional photos were taken, the planners had a brilliant idea—to transform the occasion into a gathering where vendors could invite their favorite clients to mingle, network, and immerse themselves in a showcase of goods and services. And a great way to welcome the spring season with open arms.

A Feast for the Senses

The array of vendors brought together for this event was nothing short of spectacular. From specialty lounge furniture to elaborate balloon structures, a sprawling grazing table, a pizza truck serving up slices of heaven, and a luxury mobile bar crafting curated cocktails, every aspect of the celebration promised an unforgettable experience.

Mylestone Paper's Contribution

Adding a Touch of Stationery Elegance

I contributed a variety of signage, menu cards, and place cards, carefully crafted to complement the spring-themed tablescape. Infused with beautiful hues of pinks, oranges, and soft blues, these paper goods lent an air of sophistication to the setting, effortlessly tying everything together.

I tapped into my graphic design skills to create floral templates for signage that the other vendors can use. These templates were seamlessly integrated into the signage, ensuring a cohesive design aesthetic that enhanced the overall ambiance of the event.

Live Calligraphy in Action

But the magic didn't stop there. During the event itself, I had the opportunity to showcase my live event calligraphy skills by personalizing drink stirrers next to the mobile bar. It was a joy to engage with guests and add a personalized touch to their beverages, all while showcasing the artistry of hand-lettering in real time.

A Community of Talented Event Professionals

The list of participating vendors was a testament to the wealth of creativity and talent within our community. From mobile bars to rentals, floral arrangements, delectable desserts, stunning photography, exquisite jewelry, bridal gowns, and beyond, each vendor brought their unique flair to the event, creating a tapestry of experiences for guests to enjoy.


As event vendors, we pour our hearts and souls into transforming ideas into reality for our clients and their guests. It's a labor of love that brings joy and magic to every occasion. I'm incredibly proud to have collaborated with such a talented lineup of vendors for this styled shoot turned social event.

I encourage you to connect with these amazing vendors for your next event—they're truly exceptional at what they do. Give them a follow on social media to witness firsthand the incredible work they produce:

Each of these vendors brings a unique touch of creativity and expertise to the table, and I have no doubt they'll help make your next event truly unforgettable. Let's continue to support and celebrate the incredible talent within our community!
