Wedding Inspiration // Moody New Orleans Witches + Woo Woo
/I love that Wicca is having a moment in popular culture again, so for this shoot Kelsey Harrison of Oh Happy Day Booth and I wanted to highlight the bold and moody glamour of 21st century witches. We didn’t want to be too on-the-nose, so when styling I layered in the witchy elements: a crystal in Drew’s boutonniere; pheasant feathers in Marqita’s bouquet; sage burning; and a bar cart equipped with mounted butterflies, various crystals, and candles. Diana Ascarrunz captured the desired aesthetic perfectly and Lizbeth Mejorado transformed the already stunning Marqita Wolber into a bewitching Beyoncé. The stars certainly aligned for this shoot.

Shaun Delgado-Harris started LIFE & ART events to help couples get back to the “why” of the wedding—to get married. LIFE & ART events specializes in all-inclusive elopements and intimate weddings for couples who want less without sacrificing style. Shaun’s love of beautiful things goes well-beyond the wedding industry; though she has only ever managed to keep one plant alive, her greatest aspiration in life is to have a conservatory just like the aunts in Practical Magic.
