Carmen // A bridal inspiration

People often ask me why I love this woman. I reply by saying “have you seen her perform??” Carmen has a vibrant character that lights up the stage. She’s often noted for her eccentic style and most notable for wearing a fruit basket on her head. Hey, not many people can pull off dancing with a fruit basket on their head and still manage to look fabulous. I know I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The minimalist might look at her and cringe. I look at her and admire her character. She was so full of life! I dare you to watch her perform and not have a smile on your face. I’d love to spend an afternoon with that woman.

For this bridal shoot, I wanted to create a whimsical tropical vintage oasis. I experimented with mixed prints to showcase Carmens eccentric sensability with bright colors for her vibrant persona. I focused on 3 looks. The engagement period, a more traditional look for the ceremony and her spicy reception outfit in which she would perform for her loved ones.

Hope you enjoy!
