Frida Khalo Inspired Styled Shoot

“Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.” – Frida Khalo

If there’s anything that can make you rethink ordinary romantic style, it’s the pattern and textures found in this vibrant wedding styled-shoot inspired by Frida Khalo. Wedding photographer, Memories of Bliss, shares a detailed description behind this exuberant display:

The dramatic and unique styling of this wedding shoot is inspired by the combination of strength, passion, beauty, and pain personified by the life and work of iconic feminist, artist, and woman of color, Frida Kahlo. Traditional elements of Frida’s culture and heritage intertwine seamlessly with soft, modern, and romantic elements. Vibrant colors and patterns burst off of the tablescape and become three dimensional in flora and fauna with exposed roots. Vintage china provides a delicate counterpoint. Romantic tulle billows underneath the tabletop and contrasts with the sleek leather bench. The gorgeous gown of handmade lace with it’s intricate beading, portrays Frida’s softer side and impeccable fashion sense. To achieve this look for your wedding, combine bold colors with soft neutrals, and a hefty dose of lace, candlelight, vintage pieces and romance.
