• H O L D • T H E • G R A I L • #WalkersByFaith We deeply thank you for your sight and insight @kennedileshea 🖤 #REPOST from @holdthegrail • ———Not many people realize the cultural significance weddings hold for Black people in America. Due to the nuanced history of institutionalized racism and 400 years of slavery, there has been an undeniable war on Black love for centuries and the war is still being fought today. So, when we see stunning displays of blatant protest against that machine being done in such a chic-ly conscious and fashionably aware way, attention must be paid. Last week, actress Aisha Hinds (@appleofhisai) shook the Internet when she began rolling out content from her wedding on her Instagram account. Filled with everything Black, Black, and more Black, reposts of these decadent images were shared everywhere and we were all stunned by the entire occasion’s bodacious beauty. So, I thought it imperative to dig deep, research, and find out all I could on the details of these looks and translate what I could to properly articulate the importance of seeing this stunning wedding unfold through Instagram right before our very eyes. And while this analysis might be a reach, in this case, reaching is necessary if it means pushing the amplification of Black brides and Black bridal fashion forward. #Swipe to learn about all things Black + Bridal: How Aisha Hinds’ Lavish Wedding Is Set to Create New Trends for Brides Everywhere and Spark the Needed Talk on the Importance of Black Bridalhood ➡️ Wedding Designer: @diannvalentine Photography: @stanlophotography Styling: @alaynabellprice Assistant Stylist: @brittnychapman Venue: @silversandsgrenada 🇬🇩 Brides Couture gown: @bellebridalatelier Brides Earrings: @mariaelenaheadpieces Brides bracelet: @charlielapson Brides Headpiece: @su.reina.bridal Bridal party couture gowns: @jilaatelier @bridesbynona @houghtonnyc Bridal party Jewelry: @alexisbittar Bridal party headpieces: @mariaelenaheadpieces 👩🏽‍💻: @kennedileshea
