Rooftop Whimsy Styled Shoot at The National Hellenic Museum

The adjective “whimsical” truly encapsulates the spirit of this styled shoot by Baroj Events. With a lively, colorful palette and playfulness at center stage, this shoot team allowed vibrant shades and feelings to shine through the celebration.

From the bride’s baby blue shoes to the invitation suites and floral arrangements, the team embraced color with open arms. They carefully selected the perfect mix of hues to evoke the delight a wedding deserves. “Every fine detail was hand-picked to add a touch of magic to every moment,” says planner Rojin Babayan of Baroj Events. “Because that’s what life is about, isn’t it? A stunning spectrum of colors that reflects the beauty in each instant.”

This story didn’t end with celebratory colors. Amidst this range of impactful hues lies a deeper narrative: a commitment to treading lightly on the planet. A unique part of this shoot was the effort to make it completely sustainable. The goal wasn’t just to bring a playful spirit to the scenes but to do so while supporting the environment. Portions of the floral arrangements were locally sourced, and MJM Occasions used a no-foam method, avoiding non-biodegradable materials during prep. The reception displayed vintage table settings, highlighting the value of repurposing. Additionally, the shoot solely used compostable and recyclable materials to minimize the ecological impact.

The National Hellenic Museum was an ideal venue for this styled shoot, offering both an indoor hall and a view-drenched rooftop. Having been closed to events during COVID, The National Hellenic Museum is open again for celebrations. This venue seamlessly blends classical elegance with contemporary grandeur, marrying old-world charm with modern amenities. Perfect for the vintage-inspired and colorful vision this team achieved!
