BRIDAL SASS - A Style Savvy Wedding Shoot featured on Festival Brides
A Bianca Jagger Inspired Bridal Shoot
featured on FESTIVAL BRIDES
effortless and flamboyant…
So if I had to name one singular favourite icon of style it would have to be Bianca Jagger. So much so that when my mum got married some years ago I opted to wear “the white suit”
Its quite the dream to create a bridal shoot with a nod to her effortless cool and flamboyant style and combine that with my desire to try some eco conscious and ethically sourced options for brides.
We created a mood board that was sexy, edgy, very Bianca and decided to give it a modern twist, keeping it simple and current with a black and white colour scheme.
A nod to Bianca with wide leg trousers was key to the look and the “Marlene” palazzo pant two-piece bridal combo and the “Louise” backless silk jumpsuit fit that vision perfectly. Brides please consider trousers! Soo sassy!
The above were sourced from L’arca Vintage along with the perfect dresses. “Artemisia” and “Isce” One a festival of gorgeous lace and the other a simple shift with a thigh split and delicate lace detail.
If you haven’t visited the shop located in Barcelona’s famous Barrio Gotico treat yourself ! It’s a total treasure chest of carefully curated vintage delights for women and men.
ecological principles…
Garcia flors the florist was briefed on the need for ecological principles, no aggressive foam was used and dried and real flowers including Orchids, Cymbidium, Carnations, Dianthus and Hipericums were all bound with natural materials. I love the imagination and creativity that went into the unique headpieces and bouquets. Amaranthus is definitely my new favourite addition to bouquets.
history, nostalgia and romantic charm…
We chose an 18th century heritage mansion as our venue. Heretat Sabartas oozes history, nostalgia and romantic charm and our model brides were big fans of the gorgeous pink peeling wallpaper, the green room that brings all the mood, and the Moorish tiles which spread from floor to walls in many of the areas of the mansion. Its one of my favorite wedding venues, with beautiful ceremony spots all set within the surrounding 25 acres of vineyards from which they create the Sabartes wines and cava’s.
bianca vibes…
We were given a beautiful context for our imagery. The style aesthetic, juxtaposition, light and shade, varied textures, and the fact that both our gorgeous models had completely different skin tones, embraced by our M.U.A who artistically created subtle, natural and more overtly smouldering looks for them both.
Our models were dancers who could convey through movement and posture the emotion, nostalgia and languid vibe of Bianca, perfect for a video full of romance and charm.
layers and drips…
A Bridal shoot wouldn’t be complete without some complimentary stationary and wedding cake inspiration. We went for Layers of deep rich chocolate filled with raspberry coulis and covered in French vanilla butter cream with an embossed base and black chocolate drip! Yum!
I hope we have inspired you to try something a little different and have opened you up to the possibilities of lightening your footprint on our wonderful planet with an authentically vintage item or two!
