With All Hallows Eve this weekend, there’s no better time for a bit of moody beauty, and this alluring shoot from Luna de Mare is elegant-edgy at it’s best. It’s a world where black and blue pair perfectly, where tapered candlelight is a must and where a black lace Elizabeth Mackenzie Designs dress rebels against a traditional white number. See more in THE VAULT!
From Luna de Mare…Bella Noir was an inspiration shoot created to showcase a beautiful bespoke gown with Black lace detailing and a romantic tulle skirt, for the girl with a little flair.
Light was juxtaposed against dark as we drew from the forrest and along little streams to bring in an air of organic romance, while setting the tone for a perfect intimate Wedding in the woods.
Toss in a sweetheart table complete with candles and silver goblets, a cake on a swing with vines & draping florals, and it was like the vision of fairytale meets modern romance. We added a final touch of French romance with a quote around our cake that simply read “La Vie est une fleur dont l’amour est le miel” (Translation: Life is a flower of which love is the honey).
