This modern European wedding inspiration from Passionate Wedding Photography and Cristina Macedo combines chic Portuguese style with an autumn palette of plum and charcoal. Cristina of Aqueduto Events was inspired by natural textures combined with a dramatic color story to create a high contrast juxtaposition. The organic floral design, rich fall hues, and chic bridal jumpsuit give this shoot a fresh and modern European vibe!
Modern European Wedding Inspiration in Plum and Charcoal






















When it came to crafting a shoot that would inspire brides in Portugal and abroad, this team went for a blend of elegant simplicity and high impact fashion. A high necked wedding lace top and long sleeves gave the bride’s style stunning texture, while the billowing pants in her jumpsuit added a modern touch. Cage booties and a trailing updo finished off this European chic wedding day look with a bit of edge.
The table decor for this shoot captured the perfect meeting of rustic and elegant. Misty green watercolor paper goods from a pajarita added a dreamy touch to the jewel toned palette of pewter and plum, paired with natural elements from raw silk, concrete, earthen ware, and barn wood. The asymmetric farm table provided a stunning canvas for floral arrangements overflowing with tulips, anemones, ranunculus, rice flower, garden roses, Alstroemeria, and foraged greenery! A mix of fresh and dried peonies created a completely unique touch, especially when used for a simple topper to the topsy turvy wedding cake!
