Marsala + Emerald Elopement Inspiration at a Dallas Warehouse

Dark Romantic Wedding Inspiration

If you didn’t find the location of your dreams when we shared our favorite 25 jaw-dropping spots to elope, perhaps today’s shoot will inspire you to look in the most unexpected places! It was a serendipitous moment for Ciara at Bash Co + Events when, running for cover in a rare Dallas downpour, she found herself standing inside the daring, dark, and deeply romantic Brake & Clutch Warehouse.

Ciara tells us: This space totally spoke to me – I just had to create in here. The floors still were unswept, windows were broken, old machinery sat unused. It. Was. A. Must. We wanted to break the mold of the Dallas wedding industry scene and create something for those couples who crave the unconventional & stray away from traditional: artfully curated for those who color outside the lines.

Let’s see the moody masterpiece, captured by Jeff Brummett Visuals!

Every element was thoughtfully curated to play off the key elements in the warehouse: washed away brick + cement, old wooden flooring + metal machinery, paired with velvet, marsala + deep emerald with copper accents.
