Yesterday I had a fashion shoot for Delanie Couture at the Villa Filomena.  It was a super long day but was very fun! I just can’t believe how the day went by so fast…where did the time go? The Villa is the perfect spot for a wedding. It is snuggled in the heart of Milwaukee on Marshall St. The sites are historic and very beautiful. Working with Nancy at the Villa was such a pleasure, she was so pleasant. I highly recommend you consider the villa for your Wedding ceremony/receptions site! Your wedding could be outside in the courtyard and the reception to follow inside the mansion! The Villa is extremely accommodating. This is everything that comes with your rental fee...

• dance floor

• staging options

• full catering facilities

• smoke-free environment

• full-service, on-site staff

• event consultation and meeting planning

• house sound system and projection screen

• valet parking service

• same day combined set-up and tear-down time, not exceeding four hours

• horse and carriage service

Another great thing is that you can bring in your own vendors and they offer a list of recommendations on their website.

For the shoot we went for a dramatic theme, it was super fun getting to work with the models and all the fun props that Delanie brought. Delanie does custom Bridal & Bridesmaid Design. She also has a Bridesmaid line at Miss Ruby here in Milwaukee…check out their websites for more information about getting a custom design or scheduling a consultation at Miss Ruby! These ladies are amazing and a joy to work with!

Now to the photos! but first a thank you…

Thank you Delanie for letting me be a part of this shoot- it was so great! Thank you to the models for their hard work! And thank you to the make-up artist Kristin and Michelle from Fringe Salon who did the hair…the girls looked amazing!

If you like what you see (hair/make-up) email me for Kristin & Michell’s contact info!

This pink dress is so flattering…i love the cut of the top and the color!

Some history on the Villa:

The Villa was built for Captain Robert Fitzgerald in 1874. The Villa was designed by Edward Townsend Mix. The style of the Mansion is Italianate with double arched windows, an arched doorway and pillars supporting the porch.

In 1963 it was purchased by the Woman’s Club who later had it renovated and the carriage house was torn down and replaced with what now is the auditorium.

This red dress is also so great! I love the collar look…very sexy! Al looks smokin’ in it!

Add a sash to the pink dress and you have a whole new look!

Here is Jennifer or should I say “Queen Marie” this dress is amazing! I love the ruffle top!

Buttercup is a great color for all skin colors…so flattering!  Dawn you look smashin’!

“Let them eat cake!”

This is a beautiful strapless gown with a beaded top…

I just love this gown! It is so stunning…the back the way it ties up on the side with the beautiful brooch!  Victoria you look amazing!

this dress is so cute. It is very simple but very adorable. Strapless with a large flower pinned on the side! love it!

This gown that Dawn is wearing is very unique, its sheath line is very flattering and I love how the detail at the neckline mirrors the ruffles at the bottom!
