Costumes, masks, & mystery at this enchanted forest wedding in Ohio
Genevieve and Benjamin were married at Polen Farm in Kettering, Ohio. Genevieve had a vision of an enchanted forest wedding with a costume masquerade reception. Swoon! Genevieve had her bridesmaids dress in light colors and called them her “Easter peeps.” I think you can tell this was way funnier and more whimsical than your usual wedding.
A same-sex Labyrinth-inspired wedding shoot that moves the stars for no one
The power of voodoo! This Labyrinth wedding inspiration shoot combines the fantasy of a fairyland wedding with the reality of an English Tudor castle backdrop. Florals with glass globes and touches of ultra-violet, a gingerbread maze wedding cake, a modern take on Sarah’s fantasy ball gown, styling with owl feathers, clocks, and masks, as well as bubbling custom cocktails inspired by the bog of eternal stench.
Ladies of the Lake: Nimue marries Morgan Le Fay in this Arthurian wedding shoot
We’ve definitely seen grooms with swords cutting cakes at weddings (note: do NOT put the sword back in the scabbard with cake on it. You’ll thank yourself later). But we hadn’t noticed quite as many women with swords (though we have seen a couple!).
The team who crafted this inspiration shoot drew upon the myth of the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend, but with a twist: the Lady marries Morgan Le Fay!
This Guillermo del Toro-approved wedding costuming is seriously enchanting
I’ve been eagerly awaiting getting to talk about Silver Leaf Costumes. Y’all know I LOVE me some Renaissance and historical garb, especially when it comes to weddings. And costume weddings are always our jam. But not all corsetry and historical wear is up to wedding standards. Thankfully, designer Laura Elliot makes ultra high quality look easy. And it will make you look EPIC…
Clashes of steel at this choose-your-own-adventure warrior wedding complete with a quest
As James and I met in martial arts, and one of our favorite things to do is go to Renaissance festivals, we decided to put a good third of our budget to awesome custom armor sets. We special-ordered swords. I made my own scabbard. We commissioned one of my favorite artists for custom illustration made into our tapestry.
We did our own simple decorations and set up. The ONE RULE for all attendees was that they had to come in some sort of costume (yes, even the officiant). The theme? "Choose your own adventure." We were not disappointed, and had an amazing time.
