Weddings Around the World

Libby Farleigh, the publisher of Fusion Magazine recently contacted me and requested I do two images for her special Wedding issue. They have a segment on weddings around the world so she asked me to share some colorful imagery depicting indian wedding traditions.

Indian weddings are usually a big celebration of two families coming together, not just the bride and groom. They last several days with a lot of singing and dancing. The bride and groom are usually in rich, colorful clothing and adorned with a lot of gold and jewels. So this is my interpretation of that in Second Life.

You can check out the whole beautiful wedding issue of Fusion magazine on issuu.com. The weddings around the world segment starts on page 52. Thank you Libby for inviting me to be a part of it! <3

Now, I wanted to share a video with you to show you a glimpse of indian wedding fashions in the real world. In November of 2013 Vogue India, one of my favorite real world fashion magazines, did a feature on weddings as well and shared some of my most favorite pictures to date. You can find some of the images from that feature on The Fashion Gone Rogue blog. Here is a video of those images from Vogue India:

Finally, I was still in my clothing from this series when Autumn Ashdene messaged me requesting to take an image. I thought it was so lovely, I wanted to share. Thank you for the lovely picture, Autumn! <3
