Black Panther [1] fans, prepare to throw up your "Wakanda forever!" salute when you see this gorgeous bridal shoot inspired by the epic Marvel film. This Wakandan wedding was shot by photographer Chloe Jackman [2] at Lake Chalet in Oakland, CA, and it incorporates traditional Habesha attire and jewelry as well as subtle details from the superhero movie. The color scheme also has a timely influence, as it features the 2018 Pantone [3] color of the year, Ultra Violet, which happens to be the same shade as the magical heart-shaped herb that gives Black Panther [4] his powers. According to Chloe, the shoot showcases two distinct styles for both the ceremony and dinner reception. There's a modern, sleek black-tie look and a more traditional, culturally significant style. See this stunning wedding shoot now!
