A Wakandan Wedding: This Bridal Shoot Is Inspired by Black Panther, and OMG — It's Gorgeous

Black Panther 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 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 color of the year, Ultra Violet, which happens to be the same shade as the magical heart-shaped herb that gives Black Panther 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!
