Vibrant Frida Kahlo Inspired Shoot

I have a really soft spot for vibrant hues paired with pastels, so this shoot by Justine Milton of Alberta caught my attention immediately.  The look is bold and not for everyone, but neither was Frida Kahlo who was the photographer's muse for this shoot.  Frida marched to the beat of her own drum, much like the bride + groom depicted here.  I thought this styled shoot seemed an ideal way to end off a week dedicated to Valentine's inspiration and hopefully it will inspire you kick your  Valentine's Day plans up just a notch with a bold, creative element.  

A couple of news items before wrapping up for the weekend: This evening at Blush Bridal Boutique in Victoria, BC, there's an intimate gathering of wedding vendors all set to provide some inspiration for your big day.  And if you're on the opposite side of the country, Anthropologie at 761 Queen Street West is hosting a pop-up floral shop with arrangements by Sweet Woodruff.  Check them out if you can and enjoy your weekend!
