welcome to the

Let yourself be immersed in this mystical beyond the grave romance – This Day of the Dead Halloween inspiration transcends traditional North American halloween by embracing the vibrant colours and rich history of the Mexican Holiday, Día de los Muertos. From the art direction and styling by Jesse Marriott, to the floral design by Calyx and candy skull makeup by La Boheme, this shoot has it all. It’s filled with plenty of creative ideas for your next spook-tacular Halloween, whether you’re needing inspiration for a costume or party decor!

Día de los Muertos is all about honouring those that have passed, while also celebrating the beauty of life with a vibrant dance of colours, flavours, and emotions. The creative team of vendors from Alberta made sure to respect and honour the authenticity of this Mexican tradition; They invited a couple with Latin American heritage to join the shoot as the bride and groom, to participate and to help influence the direction of the shoot and its authenticity.

This project was truly a beautiful experience. The talented group of people involved genuinely wanted to bring a celebration of Hispanic culture to the forefront. I, being Latino, this opportunity gave me a platform to be seen. To celebrate traditions and to allow a conversation to begin within myself and with others.

With moody lighting and an all-around gorgeous set-up, get ready to experience the beauty and vibrancy of Dia de los Muertos, in this stunning Day of the Dead Halloween Inspiration, captured by Nikki Collette Photography.

The inspiration behind the shoot was to celebrate the beauty of Día de los Muertos. We wanted to tell the story of two lovers, one who had crossed over and the other who’s grief was taking him to the other side. Hair by Jesse Ray
When designing the florals we looked to stay as true to the traditional Day of the Dead flowers as possible, by using marigolds and chrysanthemums in bright hues of orange, tangerine and fuchsia while still adding a bit of a modern twist to the designs. The floral dress slit was by far my favourite floral piece to design and took over 200 individual flowers to create. The peek-a-boo of the bright florals under the black dress was absolutely amazing.

For the hair, I wanted to be very colourful and very beautiful with a vintage Tele Novella feel. I selected colours to complement the incredible flowers, with dark purples, burgundies coppers, and yellows.

I also loved that we used an old fountain as a beautiful altar. We even had our models, both being of Latin American and Hispanic descent, bring photos of their family members who had passed, to truly remember what the celebration is about and have their spirits and memories with us.

My favourite element of the shoot was that our set was DRIPPING in florals! Travis at Calyx left no detail behind! There was a detail on the pant flare, the sombrero was decorated in blooms, the dress had a floral filled peekaboo opening, and we had a stunning floral hand fan! Flowers were even incorporated into the model’s beautiful hair style! Everywhere you turned on the set vibrant flowers filled the space!
