Best of 2015 Fine Art Wedding Inspiration

carolinereusen Leave a Comment

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!

Greek Mythology Wedding Inspiration

From the eerie, yet beautiful location, to the bouquet and bride’s gown, today’s details are all wonderfully pin-worthy. But what makes these images even more intriguing is the story behind them. Today’s inspiration comes from Elena Pavlova and tells the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. A tragic love story of two characters who are separated by uninevitable death. They have the chance to be together again when Orpheus convinces Hades to let his beloved wife return to earth. They are reunited for only a brief period before Eurydice is, again, taken away and the lovers loose each other for eternity.

There is something special about being in a place where you’re surrounded by nature and alone with your own thoughts and presence. There’s a certain peace that comes from just soaking up the atmosphere when you are alone. I love that this portrait session focuses on this feeling. It is simply styled with a beautiful periwinkle gown that catches the sea breeze, hair that is down, ready to be wind-blown, and lovely hand-lettered calligraphy. This Montenegro shoot from Anastasia Bryukhnova will have you wanting to escape to the seaside…and wait until you see the last image.

Three things I love in the wedding world are bohemian weddings, beach weddings, and weddings that use natural elements. This boho beach elopement inspired shoot from Jenny Ostenson has all three of these things - and let me tell you, my friends, my eyes just lit up when I gazed over everything. There are so many details to adore in this wonderfully atypical beach shoot. I’m talking major lush, colorful florals, mussel shell decor, and beautiful use of driftwood.
