I haven’t had the opportunity to feature many shoots from the Middle East, so it’s with great pleasure that I feature this stunning desert inspiration shoot from stylist JESSICA ROBERTS of LACE IN THE DESERT and photographer MARIA SUNDIN. Wanting to celebrate the lesser known side of their home in the United Arab Emirates, they chose the rugged mountains of Fujairah for their shoot. It’s earthy red landscape with jagged outlines provided the most beautiful backdrop for this elegant and natural bridal shoot which included vibrant florals by FLOWERS BY CONTEMPO. As a nod to their location they used deep rich berry colours to give an exotic Arabian touch. Exquisite stationery from THE FOZZY BOOK combined with ribbons from SILK & WILLOW added the perfect finishing touches.
