styled shoot

Unlike many wedding blogs, we don’t run a ton of styled shoots — photo shoots that use models instead of real couples — for reasons addressed here. That said, once a month or so, we see a shoot that’s so full of gorgeousness and lovely ideas that we feel compelled to share it. If you’re a photographer who would like to submit your styled shoot, click here.

This viking elopement inspiration is all about untamed beauty on the coast

This viking elopement inspiration is all about untamed beauty on the coast

We love a good viking wedding and this viking wedding inspiration was more wild and untamed than we’d ever seen. It’s adventurous, romantic, and seriously inspiring if you’re planning one of your own. Set on the beautiful Oregon coast and inspired by Nordic traditions, they rocked bold blues, silvers, and greens to match the atmosphere. There are two different looks to see, both separate love stories in themselves. Don’t miss the era-inspired weaponry, the gorgeous geode cake, the cave-dotted landscape, the custom-made gowns, and the chill-inducing florals. I can almost hear the battle cries now…

Vivid colors meet goth chic at this moody & quirky wedding inspiration

Vivid colors meet goth chic at this moody & quirky wedding inspiration

One of my favorite combinations of styles is vivid color meets dark goth glam. And this dark & moody wedding inspiration has both in abundance. With florals ranging from purple scabiosa to black willows, a sweets table full of candy apples and a tower of macarons, and two brides rocking gold antlers, turquoise hair, and coordinating (but not matchy-matchy!) whie and gray gowns, it’s a gorgeous display with an eerie and chic vibe.

Manhattan-based couple George and Matt were the stars of this vintage-inspired two-groom wedding inspiration. It was all Art Decor glamour of the Gatsby era brought into modern times. You’ll definitely want to see the champagne tower of antique glasses, glittering macarons, and magnificent six-tiered wedding cake (nearly as tall as the grooms!), frosted and gilded in icing reminiscent of Erté, with beads cascading down the sides.

Holidays gone ultra chic: moody & dark Christmas wedding inspiration

Holidays gone ultra chic: moody & dark Christmas wedding inspiration

We’ve got some stunning dark Christmas wedding inspiration, but it’s probably not what you’re thinking. There are luminous fairy lights, a holiday-colored macaron tower(!), festive and fizzy drinks, pops of crimson flowers and drapery over lush and dark greenery and pomegranates, modern deep red sculptural cakes, and energy mist favors. This definitely isn’t your usual Christmas wedding decor!

Venus flytraps and forever love at this haunting inspiration wedding

This haunting inspiration wedding is truly a dark and glam look at goth weddings (and Halloween, if you’re planning one for 2019!). The floral pieces on the table and bouquet were designed out of silk flowers, which are ideal for repurposing, preserving as a keepsake, or turned into a family heirloom. Did you notice the Venus Flytraps in the bouquet and centerpiece?!

It’s a color explosion of papel picado & flowers at this Dia De Los Muertos wedding

Look, I love Halloween week, but when I see some super colorful Dia de los Muertos wedding inspiration, I know I’m in for a spectacular show. And in this case, that show is bright papel picado strung up in trees, rainbow ribbons, multicolored bouquets, a sexy glam wedding dress, a hot AF couple how rock that ink, and a gorgeous matte black meets colorful flowers cake.
