A Whimsical Yellow Bridesmaid Inspiration

From engagement shoots to real weddings, there is plenty of great inspiration out there! But wait, what about the bridesmaids?! Well, this amazing styled shoot from Kreatid Photography and Design focuses strictly on the maids - about time right?! Be ready to do some major swooning over the shoots brilliant yellow color palette and stunning floral head pieces!

From Kreatid Photography and Design:

For this styled session, my dream was to produce a session that was exclusively for bridesmaids. When it comes to choosing the attire of many a bridesmaid, too often I’ve heard statements like: “Oh, you could totally (emphasis on the ‘totally’) wear that again!” and “If you just shortened it, it could be a ‘cocktail dress’!” This session is hopefully inspiration to brides who are choosing attire for their maids…showing them a more non-traditional approach to picking their “ladies in waiting” attire. :) Vintage hues of yellow set in an outdoor nature setting were the original inspiration for these maids…mixing in floral headdresses, brilliant white pomaders, shortened vintage cocktail dresses + coordinating authentic vintage jewelry added to the modern vintage spin for today’s bridesmaids. Whereas adding touches of vintage mason jars, an antique velvet couch, vintage reading material and vintage fabric draping added to the vintage flavor of this session.
