August 8, 2009
I've often thought about how my ideal wedding would play out — there would be plenty of navy blue, a bouquet of succulents and ranunculus, a melabo wedding topper (with me and my boo as raccoons), a 1930s style dress, a photo booth, and red velvet cake for days. In short, it would be a wedding that fits my particular tastes.
Weddings should be personalized, eclectic affairs that celebrate the dynamic of the couple. However, not every courtship is full of sweetness and pastels — some are composed of moonlit walks, trips to the Mutter Museum, antiquing for tintypes and a mutual appreciation for the color black. If you have an affinity for Gothic tones, dramatic film noir, or Victorian tailoring, this wedding collection is for you!
Today's Finds are inspired by io's southern Gothic wedding, which was held in the Old Medical College in Augusta, Georgia. Her pink and black themed nuptials are positively awe-inspiring, and a perfect example of an alternative wedding style (check out her bat cake!). Make sure to visit Etsy's Steampunk and Noir Style Guide and Handmade Weddings series for more inspired wedding how-to's, fashion and inspiration.
