Sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade

Rubber ducks and blue hair: we love this sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade

Rachel and Rial love whimsy and some of their memories are of enjoying the ocean together, so naturally, their wedding had a sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade. Their wedding showcased the most vibrant colors for hair, bouquets (made by Rachel), wedding party attire, elaborate masks, sea glass, and even rubber duckies for party favors because they are one of Rial’s favorite things. Oh, and the rubber ducky cake toppers were hand painted to match their hair and attire of the couple. You’ll love the groom’s vows on bended knee!

A curious masquerade wedding of oddities and glamour

The theme started out as just “masquerade,” as I’ve always wanted to have or attend a masquerade ball, but as we began to brainstorm ideas, we started working bits of ourselves into the details. My husband and I have a large collection of antiques and oddities, and we ended up incorporating different pieces from our home into each of the centerpieces and the decor. Thus, “The Curious Masquerade” was born. Maps, medical models, scientific instruments, antique candelabras, and other various things all got (carefully!) flora-fied and bedecked.

It’s a Canadian masquerade wedding that is making our lives.

A woodland Halloween wedding unlike we’ve EVER seen

Gabby and Philip planned a seriously unexpected Halloween wedding: a woodland Halloween wedding complete with nature-inspired masquerade decor. It’s Halloween, but totally natural, floral, and organic. The bride was a woodland faerie and the groom a tree king. Swoon. You’re absolutely going to want to see the log cake, the pumpkin and gourd decor, and the jester who entertained the guests during the reception.
