Luxury Weddings in Africa - Inspiration

 

Today I am sharing with you some breathtaking bridal looks for a luxurious African Wedding. Whether you already live in Africa, or you are seeking a destination wedding location to amaze and uplift your guests- Africa is the location of the moment.


This groundbreaking production (see credits!) was creatively directed and planned by Love from Mwai with stunning photography by Stepan Vrzala and Eva Tarnok and inspired by the late, great Chadwick Boseman and highlighting the stunning African landscapes and her beautiful cultures. Shot and filmed in Livingstone Zambia in incredible locations such as The Gorge, Angels Pool, Tongabezi and the epic Victoria Falls.


In this post, I will share a sneak peek of the stationery I created for the shoot and some of the stunning traditional African bridal looks with a modern twist. In my next post (part two) I will share the incredible Black Panther-inspired Wedding Ceremony - worthy of a post of its own and not to be missed!
