A train ride ceremony and stunning kilts and bridal suits at this Railroad Museum of New England wedding
At their Railroad Museum of New England wedding, Thiemba and Nate rocked historical looks with a custom made edible floral bouquet, a custom made bridal suit with french love letter inscribed on the inside, and an amazing kilt outfit. For their reception, Thiemba and Nate changed outfits to celebrate in steampunk style. Their wedding guests also wore steampunk-themed attire, which all looked amazing.
Anatomy meets embroidery at this creepy-stylish and moody wedding inspiration
If you’re on the hunt for sorta creepy, sorta Halloween-inspired, blood red anatomy meets science, this moody wedding inspiration is for you. I’ve been trickling in some dark and fun Halloween weddings lately and this one slid right in like buttah. What I especially love about this shoot is the fabulous lighting, the tres elegant styling paired with some offbeat touches, and of course, the embroidery!
Tradition with an edge is the key at this fall wedding in Connecticut (with a bit of horror mixed in!)
I love it when a traditional wedding ends up having a bit of an edge. Vanessa and Daniel’s fall wedding in Connecticut had just that: a creative couple who rocked a gorgeous white gown and a black crushed velvet suit. The decor was all about fall coziness with leaf decor and table settings, pumpkins, and even a few Nightmare on Elm Street details. Look out for a cameo from Freddy’s glove used to cut the cake!
Blue hair and baseball caps? All perfect for this Victorian with a twist wedding
Our wedding was our own style for sure. I have always loved vintage and Victorian styles. But to give it a twist, I have blue hair! Mark also goes nowhere without his baseball cap. So I said wear it! He did and I felt it was perfect for us. Being on a very tight budget, we had lots of DIY from seating charts, favors, and table numbers. It was Victorian with a twist!
Step right up for this carnival wedding at a vineyard (with grape stomping!)
Jenny and Victor had a luxe carnival wedding that was seriously dazzling. Think the most detailed and whimsical carnival ever with a wedding as the cherry on top. They described their goal as this: “Whimsical, carefree — an opportunity for adults to feel like kids again, joyous and accepting.”
Don’t miss the adorable first look with Jenny’s dad, the barbershop quartet, cotton candy, so many desserts, popcorn, wine, dancing, and a awesome themed cake.
