This dark whimsy wedding was DIY, very personalized and chic.
The fall wedding season is coming closer and closer and we get more and more inspiration from various beautiful fall affairs – moody, rustic and Halloween-inspired ones. And today we are sharing ones of such weddings – Danielle and Alexander’s ranch wedding had a whimsical theme with a dark, bohemian vibe thrown into the mix.
The inspiration came from various aspects, the couple wanted little touches of whimsy throughout the decor, so they used ceramic bunnies because they have a pet rabbit. They also wanted a minimalist feel with lots of delicate touches; like the parchment paper cone backdrop and the baby’s breath. Instead of going overboard with the decor, they worked with the natural beauty of the venue.
A lot of décor was crafted by the bride, including the cake table and sign in area. The family and friends helped her make a backdrop of parchment paper cones for the ceremony. The guest tables had wood slices that Alex cut himself, glass candles that she wrapped in black lace, a ceramic bunny figurine and a mason jar filled with baby’s breath. Thankfully, the venue already had some decor inside the buffet area that included antique items and animal skulls.
The bride was wearing a black lace top and a tulle skirt, the headpiece was made by her best friend using hematite crystals as the bride is a big crystal lover. The groom was wearing a burgundy jacket with black lapels and black pants for a relaxed yet festive feel.
