It started as an idea. Like anything, but I could never have imagined that this chic black wedding gown styled shoot would come together so beautifully. I simply could not have worked with a better group of Toronto based creatives. The team helped make this vision come to life! My heart wanted to create a bridal look based around a black wedding gown and the beauty of the changing seasons from fall to winter. I imagined something elegant, yet simple and chic.
I loved the idea of a black gown because it’s quite bold and avant-garde. I mean how many brides would wear a colored gown – much less a black one? Well, it was something I was so excited to create. When I approached the amazing creatives that collaborated with me, they also felt the excitement around doing something extraordinary and different. Plus their attention to detail made my heart so happy!
Bridal fashion can be quite repetitive to a certain degree and so I’m always inspired by the brides that step outside the box to try something based on personal or cultural preferences. It’s always great to insert your personality into your wedding and so I’m hoping that this black wedding dress inspiration can really get brides and grooms thinking about the way they want to portray ther special day. Every detail can be tailored and with a creative team as talented as this one, there’s no doubt that each and every bride will have their wedding dreams come true!
