Moody Romance Wedding Inspiration

Inspired by the movie Cinderella, this shoot designed by Amore Events by Cody is absolutely befitting a princess! From head—a gorgeous tiara by Mignonne Handmade—to toe—glass slipper-like Christian Louboutins—our fairy tale bride is picture perfect, and a Watters ballgown embodies the spirit of Cinderella. Elegant details such as calligraphed invitations by Poppy and Scooter and a vintage-inspired ring by Trumpet and Horn make the look utterly timeless, while touches like the incredible carousel cake from Maliha Creations add a whimsical, charming lightness. Lush, garden-style arrangements by Whimsical Floral Design adorn the tables and even the final fantasy touch: a getaway carriage! We are smitten with each and every frame from Rachel May Photography!

Equal parts glamorous and playful, this garden wedding inspiration shoot from Marsais, Blush and Vine, and Weddings by Jessee channels inspiration from Marie Antoinette and cotton candy! The unique juxtaposition perfectly captures the sweetness of Brittany and Ethan’s love for one another, and combines for a whimsical fairytale shoot not to be soon forgotten. Enchanting details such as a mirrored table, hand-painted opal dinnerware, and dramatic black taper candles set the scene, with lush compote-style arrangements from Blush and Vine completing the glimmering tabletop. Cotton candy from Lush Puff echoes the gown from Carol Hannah with swaths of tulle, and sleek black accents from the silk ribbon by Honey Silks & Co. to fabulous Manolo Blahnik heels play up the glamorous style. We are swooning over every unexpected detail in the lovely images captured on film by Marsais!

There’s a magical time of year between summer and fall, where the last warm light meets the autumn’s deep berry tones. Today’s stunning inspiration shoot designed by Lindsey Brunk celebrates the eminent arrival of brisk days and changing leaves. Without Wax, Katy created a stunning bouquet in the darkest of reds and purples, which beautifully complemented the Romanian gown from Divine Atelier. Soft and elegant hair and makeup by Makenzi Laine accented the gown’s delicate movement. We are simply in love with every beautiful image from Michelle Boyd Photography!

We just love a pretty party, and this colorful and eclectic display styled by Beehive Events had us at hello! The elegant palette of mauve, purple, silver, and green unexpectedly yet perfectly matched the Asian-inspired touches such as an oriental rug, cherry blossoms, and scroll art. Printed china and sequin linens add a whimsical feel, as do delicate orchids at each place setting. A party isn’t a party without cocktails, and A. Pimento Catering staged a fabulous cocktail bar with refreshing beverages of citrus, ginger, and mint. We would love to be a guest at this soiree, but will have to settle instead for oohing and aahing over the gorgeous images from Jen Fariello Photography!

The charming courtyard gardens, iconic archways and pillars, and classic elegance of Ebell of Los Angeles was not only the perfect backdrop, but also the inspiration behind the amazing shoot from To Be Loved Events that we are so excited to share with you today! Blooms Dunn Right chose soft yellow, coral, blush, and brighter pink roses for the bridal bouquet and centerpieces to mirror the warm tones of California’s sunsets, and created a stunning free-standing floral frame to highlight the couple during their intimate wedding ceremony. Stationery by Jackie Chen Design also takes centerstage in this shoot, featuring gorgeous calligraphy on luxe paper in the perfect shades to compliment the event. Get your Pinterest boards ready and check out the full gallery below because every detail in these amazing photos by Danielle Bacon Photography is absolute perfection!

Any way you spin the color green in a wedding palette, it is quite the versatile shade. From soft pastels like mint or sage to deep hues like the beautiful emerald or hunter green, you can easily use this earthy color at any wedding during any time of the year if you fancy it. It’s so timeless and we’re glad that wedding extraordinaires like Olive Fine Weddings & Events and Alexandra Lee ran on the same wavelength as us. This styled shoot has a hefty helping of green all over it, and if you take out the seemingly wintry elements to this inspo, you can readily use it all throughout the year. The luxe blooms by Willrett Flower Co. (check out the installation framing the sweetheart table!) may need some tweaking when it comes to what’s in season and what’s in your area, but no matter if you’re a spring or summer bride-to-be eyeing this shade of green, you’ll certainly get the same gorgeous effect that Alexandra snapped for us.

The gorgeous art installation by Teresita Fernández called stacked waters on the walls of the Blanton Museum of Art made for a beautiful backdrop and basis of inspiration for this styled shoot created by Verbena Floral Design. In keeping with the modern setting, each element was both bold and colorful, with rich burgundy and fuchsia blooms, pretty marble chargers, and a showstopping bouquet that is a modern take on the vintage arm bouquet. Rosemary’s Catering created a custom menu for the occasion, with inspired dishes such as Colorado Grilled Lamb atop carnival cauliflower with a lemon and lime zest and heirloom carrot dust, and a sleek purple, white, and gold wedding cake by Blue Note Bakery completed the scene. Love this beautiful setting and all of the images by Lindsey Thorne Photography!

Set at Bluemont, Virginia’s The Retreat at Cool Spring, this exquisite inspiration shoot was created and photographed at the For The Love of Film Workshop hosted by the incredible Matoli Keely Photography. From the quiet moments while the bride is getting ready to a sunlit portrait session, each moment styled by Linda Ha Events is warm and romantic. Delicate gowns from Gossamer Vintage pair beautifully with organic florals by Nature Composed. JKW Beauty styled a lovely and soft updo and luminous makeup for a natural, elegant bridal look. A seasonless color palette of champagne, coral, ivory, slate, and warm green enhanced the natural beauty of the estate and flowing silks from Silk and Willow and Willow Knows completed the scene. We are absolutely spellbound by every image captured by Matoli Keely Photography!

The rolling fields of North Carolina’s Mezza Luna Lavender Farm look a bit like heaven to us. With the warm sun beating down, the scent wafts from the fields, perfuming the air with an earthy aroma. This gorgeous shoot, designed by Michelle Wright Events, imagines a bride walking on her way to her beloved, filled with anticipation of her memorable day to come. A delicate Monique Lhuillier gown from Nitsas pairs perfectly with a sheer veil billowing in the breeze and soft, romantic hair and makeup by Makeup For Your Day. An organic bouquet and table arrangement by Amy Lynne Originals is shades of the palest purple complement the sprigs of lavender at each place setting. A flower girl dances through the scenes in a Watters gown and sash of Frou Frou Chic silk. Prepare to be transported on the most peaceful journey in each lovely image from Live View Studios!

The breathtaking beauty of the Colorado Rockies and Vail’s Piney River Ranch is the backdrop for today’s inspiration shoot, and the one-of-a-kind location truly sets a spectacular stage. Surrounded by seemingly uninterrupted wilderness, rustic charm abounds. We love this unique take on a mountain wedding, which features industrial elements and metallics that bring a bit of the city to the ranch. By mixing rose gold, copper, gold, and silver with unique touches such as Edison lights and marquee letters, Pink Diamond Events brought a heightened sense of style to a traditional setting. Lush and earthy florals from Petals and Pours grace the table from Old Wood Soul, which was paired with modern copper chairs from Ecletic Hive. A white cake from Megan Joy Cakes with feather accents brings a delicate final touch. There is so much to love in these gorgeous images from Danielle DeFiore!

Today’s organic and natural wedding editorial from Kristen Lynne Photography is utterly breathtaking. Set at South Carolina’s stunning RiverOaks Charleston, a unique space with Southern charm in spades, the inspiration shoot planned by Live View Studios brings together the natural beauty of the surroundings with simple, romantic dinner party decor. Rustic farmhouse tables were set with crisp white dishware from Event Haus, a myriad of pillar candles lining the taupe runner. Beautiful stationery from Amanda Day Rose appears aged, with swaths of calligraphy gracing the kraft-paper envelope. A floaty Astrid & Mercedes gown is graceful and elegant, perfectly paired with the venue. The dinner party is so lovely even the resident cat paid a visit! We adore each image from the fabulous Kristen Lynne Photography.

Today’s elegant wedding editorial is utterly beautiful. Charlottesville, Virginia’s Swannanoa Palace is straight out of the pages of a fairy tale, and each detail of this shoot is befitting a fantasy. A dreamy Hayley Paige gown sets the stage, with the aptly named Manolo Blahnik Swan heels peeking out from the ballgown’s full skirt. The tabletop designed by Love Blooms features lush swaths of eucalyptus and ethereal place cards of Frou Frou Chic ribbon calligraphed by Sincerely Amy Designs. A palette of cool blue, green, and silver echo the white stone of the Palace, and every detail was meticulously curated by Ally Allison Events, right down to the princess-like cake from Haute Cakes Pastry Shop. We’re in love with every beautiful image from Alicia Lacey Photography!

We are utterly and completely smitten with today’s ethereal inspiration shoot photographed by Michael & Carina Photography for their Little Workshop. The shoot is entitled “Rejuvenate” and beautiful simplicity reigns in the design from Wit Weddings. The gardens of Richmond’s Agecroft Hall—a Tudor manor house originally built in England—set the stage, with the colors of an English garden brought to life in stunning florals from White Magnolia Designs. The design focuses on effortless elegance, with spring hues of butter, peach, and apricot, the palette inspired by the hue of Himalayan salt, echoing the theme of rejuvenation. A gorgeous gossamer gown from Laure de Sagazan, wispy ribbon and delicate linen from Silk & Willow, and loose calligraphy from Stephanie Bobruska are all perfectly matched, bringing an air of sophistication and ease to the scene. We know you will be enchanted by the beautiful imagery from Michael & Carina Photography.

We know a shoot is special when it leaves us breathless, and today’s gorgeous timeless, vintage inspiration designed by Whitewood Events does just that. Dark and moody with a palette of deep brown, garnet, and ice blue, the Georgia-set shoot is like a love poem brought to life.  Gardenia Floral Design created a centerpiece of anemones, peach roses, and greenery, with a tabletop setting of beautifully mismatched china from Vintage English Teacup. Exquisite headpieces from Romantic ART Life pair perfectly with a lace Truvelle gown and delicate veil by Veiled Beauty. And perhaps our favorite unique detail? The calligraphy ceremony backdrop by Dearest Olive. We are smitten with each image by Noi Tran Photography!

Virginia’s late fall colors are positively stunning, and today’s inspiration shoot shows them off to perfection! Using the transition from autumn to winter as their inspiration, the team of Reverie Supply and Wild Green Yonder brought the mood of the season to life. The bouquet created by Lori Tran of Wild Green Yonder may just be one of our absolute favorites ever with its sprawling greenery, autumn blooms, and flowing ribbons from Silk & Willow. The inimitable Laura Hooper Calligraphy hand-lettered gold ink on charcoal paper to create stationery that beautifully encapsulated the spirit of the shoot, and we adore the lace Sarah Seven gown paired with loose, easy waves styled by Erica Basha. We’re smitten with each and every image from Reverie Supply!

Dreamy and moody, and filled with elegant details such as calligraphy and couture fashion and with a moody color palette of taupe, deep plum, silver, black, and teal, this inspiration board is stunning for a fall or winter wedding. We adore the timeless bohemian sophistication!

We can’t help it: autumn is our favorite season. We love the pies, bold colors, cozy sweaters, and boots. We have a stylized and modern autumn inspiration shoot from you today, perfect to usher in October! Vibrant blooms from Rachel Osgathurpe in shades of marigold, burnt orange, and fuchsia pair beautifully with a wispy Gossamer Shop gown and a sleek chignon styled by Cali Stott. Bold hand-lettered stationery from Abigail Gochnour and a slim-fit suit and skinny tie from Urbana Custom add a contemporary feel. Emmy Lowe Photo captured these beautiful images—we’re in love!

The peaceful rivers of central Texas are the inspiration for today’s rustic, romantic wedding inspiration. The peaceful blue and green hues and gorgeous wood tones come together in a positively ethereal setting. We adore the loose compote arrangements in pale blue, ivory, and green and handtied bouquet by Without Wax, Katy with ribbon from Silk and Willow. A delicate, floaty gown and pearl headpiece by Shop Gossamer completes the scene. The graceful bridal look is so simple and chic, a throwback to the gowns of the 1970s. The classic film images from Krystle Akin Photography capture the setting with grace. We are completely smitten!

Matt and Sable’s romantic urban wedding had us at hello! Indianapolis’ The Columbia Club was the setting for their chic soiree, which features bold metallics (how fabulous are the gold La Femme bridesmaids dresses?), a punchy palette (loving the garnet!), and just the right touch of glam. Pardon us while we crush on Sable’s gorgeous Enzoani Finley gown and curls! Sweet Pea Floral Design created colorful reception arrangements in shades of peach, blush, and garnet, which set atop luxe silver linens. Megan W Photography captured the day to perfection—we are in love!
