Best of 2015 Fine Art Wedding Inspiration

I want to start off by saying how great 2015 was when it comes to Belles & Bubbles. In 2015, I really honed in on my love for fine art weddings and film photography, and I am so pleased to have tailored the blog to this aesthetic. So many wonderful photographers have contributed their gorgeous work and have allowed me to carefully curate posts that I feel are meaningful in this industry. I have also delved into wedding styling toward the end of this year, and am excited to show you some of my own styling work in 2016. In 2016, I will also be launching the fine art Collaboration Guide, a place where creatives can connect and and create. So thank you to the whole Belles & Bubbles community for making 2015 successful. And now, I’d like to share some of my favorite fine art wedding inspiration from the blog broken down into several categories below [click photo to see full feature]. Happy New Year!

Fine Art Wedding Inspiration #5: Something Blue

This latest inspiration board is dedicated to the “something blue” wedding tradition. Whether you’re a fan of the poem’s ritual or not, blue is a fabulous wedding color regardless. It is so versatile and can really be used during any season - which is personally why I’m a fan of the hue. So here’s a roundup of my personal favorite fine art photographs featuring the “something blue”.

Now, I can’t say the idea of a blue cake really appeals to me, but how gorgeous is this one from The Cake Stand? And your “something blue” can be a smaller detail and still be effective - like these gorgeous bouquet ribbons or a pair of shoes. Did you have a “something blue” in your wedding? Let me know if you did and what your favorite blue images are! Continue Reading

Organic Lavender Wedding Inspiration

P h o t o s b y J e n n a M c E l r o y

There’s a definite trend in lavender weddings these days and I completely understand why. Lavender has a raw and organic essence and when used right, it is a perfect touch for weddings. Jenna McElroy photographs this lavender shoot styled by Claire Brody just beautifully and I am ready to pin all the gorgeous details - especially the tablescape and the Sarah Seven gown.

Rocky Coastline Wedding Inspiration

P h o t o s b y K a t i e G r a n t

I recently featured one of my all-time favorite set of images of a styled shoot in the Great Sand Dunes by Katie Grant, so naturally, I’m excited to share another one of her amazing shoots. I love the ocean and some of my favorite wedding inspiration comes from organic shoots inspired by the natural elements of water. This one includes a fantastic shelled crown and a quaint and very pin-worthy sweetheart table.

From the photographer…We drew inspiration from the natural, rocky coastline and built the shoot around the natural palette of the shore. The sweetheart table is nestled into the large rock formations where waves crash underneath, creating a beautiful symphony. The table is adorned with light sea blues and sandy golds and the plates are set with each person’s name calligraphed on a translucent capiz shell. The focal point of this shoot is the bride’s jaw-dropping and gorgeous seashell crown, a fresh and inspiring take on the bohemian floral crown.
