Cruella the Bride: Avant-garde Wedding Featuring the Devilish Disney Villain

Cruella Wedding Inspiration

Welcome to bad girl summer. In honor of the new Disney film that releases in theaters and on Disney+ today, we’re taking a peek into the villain’s most devious role yet. It’s Cruella — the bride! Your everyday bridezilla has nothing on her. From the team that took you down the rabbit hole, into a whole new world, and through the circle of life, this Disney villain wedding day unfolds in a flurry of black, white, and red all over. Jaime of Autumn Nomad has the details:

When I was conceptualizing the shoot, I kept envisioning the future of weddings post-pandemic. In the Cruella trailer, the words “The Future” are painted on Emma Stones’ face. It informed everything from makeup inspiration to Avant-garde details. For my 2022 and 2023 brides, we’re seeing more experimental design, unique ideas, and that feeling of, “Let’s really go for it!” For this, I wanted to play with negative space, light, and design. Go modern and steer away from my bohemian comfort zone. Maybe this truly is “The Future!”

Jaimie collaborated with Cody James Barry through and through to bring Cruella’s day to life. Follow along, darlings.
