flowers and bones

Titled Flowers & Bones – this breathtakingly creative wedding editorial from Mikhail Loskutov Photography and Flower Bazar is a study in contrasts, one that combines different eras and pulls in a magical, bewitched beauty in the most alluring way!

From Mikhail Loskutov – “The inspiration behind this editorial came to mind when we found an abandoned 19th century mansion close to the city. The location was so outstanding in all of its vanishing beauty. That’s where the concept of Flowers & Bones was born.

We decided to create a dense mix of refinement and decay, blooming and fading, tender and rough. The very fact that this forgotten mansion existed among densely populated suburbs was surreal and it really fueled our imagination.

In our mind we drew a picture of a young and noble couple who go back to a long ago abandoned family estate. They find ruins of past splendor and have their wedding ceremony amidst ancient murals, walls, and oak floors destroyed by time. On one hand they long for a bygone era, but on the other is a birth of new feelings and hope that their story will be continued.”
