Passion, vibrant colors, Mexican culture. These are characterizing elements of celebrated artist Frida Kahlo’s work and the artists behind this photo shoot – like Celebrations of Joy + Isabel Lawrence Photography – created a sensational, fiery wedding with Frida in mind. Nestled in Palm Springs’ Korakia Pensione, romance abounds with rich textures, intense colors and perfectly styled vintage and Mexican pieces. It’s no wonder the models (who met first at the shoot) caught the passion bug and have been dating ever since! The full gallery is absolutely loaded with more vivacious and festive inspiration!

Inspired by the beauty and color of Frida Kahlo’s Mexico, and the exotic local of Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs, we brought together an amazing team to create an elaborate wedding inspiration photo shoot. The Moroccan details of the resort informed our design direction; flowing bougainvillea, colorful tile work, artistic corners (Winston Churchill used to paint there), and we played with the themes Freida loved – color, detail, romance – to create our shoot. We featured a charming couple, our “bride”, was the sister of the floral designer, and the “groom” a friend of a local chef. They didn’t know each other before they started shooting, but their chemistry was so magnetic that by the end of the day they were (and still are) dating! Escort cards were designed using Frida Kahlo paintings and hung from an antique iron door; mini Patron Tequila bottles were guest favors; colorful linens and antique dishes dressed the tables. Mini lemon meringue pies were the featured dessert along with a dahlia adorned cake.

I love the flowers, what type of flowers are these? mums? They have great color!!!
I absolutely love this! The vibrant colors; the small, but meaninful touches; the Old Spanish charm of it all: well done! BRAVO!
This is so beautiful!
this puts me in mexico. wow what a lovely tribute to a breathtaking nation. the couple is gorgeous as well.
I love Frida but think her theme for wedding would be sad - the color palette rocks but her love life was too turbulent in my opinion to color a wedding.
This is put together perfectly. The perfect use of vibrant colors.

Cannot believe you feature a photo of those GLORIOUS shoes the bride is wearing and forget to list the vendor!?!?! WHERE do I get those sandals?!!?!
Would you mind listing where you got the mini-patron bottles, thanks!
what about the dress??! who makes that gorgeous piece?
Okay I have one more request.. the placemats! Are you kidding me, these are amazing!
I agree--I adore her shoes!! perfectly matched!!
WHERE are they from???
I love Isabel Lawrence Photography! I've only seen their vintage film camera photography but these images are beautiful. And what a festive wedding!
Yes those are mums!!! When I visited market a week before the shoot.. the mums and bright red orange dahlias were the only flowers I could look at. They were just meant to be.
Ok girls, the sandals my sister was wearing are Jacobies. Its funny they became such an icon of this photo shoot because she only brought them along as backup flats. They just so happened to match the style perfectly.
The place mats are from Jason at Small Masterpieces. He purchased them in a Peru and they are all uniquely different. Love them!!
XO,
The large beautiful flowers are Dahlias, the golden smaller are marigolds and the hot pinkish red is cockscomb. Lovely aren't they? The entire combo just makes a statement. Love it...
This shoot was an absolute blast to photograph. To answer your question Lindsay, the name of that gorgeous gown is Blue by Enzoani. It can be found at Signature Bridal & Tuxedo in Palm Springs.
I love this homage to Freda! Truly unique and beautiful. A feast for the eyes for sure!
Great theme and fab photos. Love how vibrant it all looks.
I absolutely fell in love with the pictures of this shoot! What a creative idea, and what an iconic woman to channel. Excellent job. I linked it to my blog, which talks about destination weddings in Mexico - please check it out! www.WedInMexico.org, and follow me @WedInMexico.
Thank you, I have recently been looking for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I've found out till now. However, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you sure concerning the supply?|What i do not understood is actually how you are now not actually a lot more well-preferred than you may be now. You're very intelligent.
