Gothic Winter Solstice Wedding Inspiration

Are we all ready for the winter break that is Christmas and New Year? With the dark winter here for a while longer, I thought I’d share with you this rich and full of texture inspiration shoot from Legend Bridal, Electric Blue Photography and Scarlett Envy Events. I had the chance this week to speak with Charlotte of Legend Bridal and this is what she said about the beauty of the day..

With the winter solstice fast approaching we wanted to create a styled shoot that celebrates the darkest and longest night of the year, welcomes in the light and celebrates new beginnings.

The idea was born after conversations with Kate at Dead Things by Kate when it became obvious that we shared an appreciation of earth-based/pagan traditions. We decided on a deliciously dark Winter Solstice inspired Hand-fasting with a specially designed gothic gown and incorporating Kate’s gorgeous taxidermy.

We pulled together a crazy talented bunch of suppliers to make the idea come to life and OH MY WORD!.. We can’t stop looking at the images! The flowers are to die for! There are no words for that bouquet. The floral staff is such an awesome idea, and we LOVE the pentagram wreath – so much beauty and meaning.

I absolutely LOVED this shoot when photographer Leon of Flier! sent this over. The words whiskey, tattoos and Dalmatians had my full attention! (Seriously – DALMATIANS!)

The styling of the shoot looks so dramatic against against the white walls of the warehouse, it’s too hard to pick my favourite bits – Though I do love the table dressing with the taxidermy! I had the chance to speak to Leon of Flier! about the idea behind the Rock ‘n Race shoot.

During a brainstorm session it became clear: Let’s create an non-standard wedding shoot, awesome and really out-of-the-box. To present a shoot to show wedding couples that everything and anything is possible. A shoot inspired by the tattoos of the outstanding bride and her groom. Rough but with a classy look… So we did!

I got to work with some of the best professional suppliers in the wedding industry. This was important, because with a theme that is so outspoken, it’s necessary that everything fits perfectly together. We found the perfect location – A great wedding venue with several industrial, rough and ‘rock and roll’ spaces. They also have a kart-track in the house! We created this shoot ‘Rock ’n Race’ with awesome styling inspired by the colors black, white, red and gold and connected them with the words Rock, Tattoo, Whiskey, Cigars, Smoke, Roses, Lace, Kart-Track and Dalmatians!
