Dark + Sparkly Vintage Wedding Inspiration with a Crescent Moon

Moody Celestial Wedding Inspiration
Stop where you are – dark wedding dresses ahead! Through today’s vintage wedding inspiration, we’re quickly learning that the perfect combination for moody matrimony is two black dresses + one sparkly one. The contrast of black and sparkles ahead will have you over the moon about every detail.

Planning + design team at marrybylen shares: Our initial inspiration when thinking of this editorial was dark + elegant! In contrast to a light + airy look, this style reflects a more emotional vibe; featuring moody colors and sparkles. To achieve a darker wedding vibe, we brought in the moon. The invitation suite, sparkling, gold dress and place settings all pull in celestial vibes.

We’re always here for a good contrast! Saturated colors set in a vintage wedding venue, like Clärchens Ballhaus, brings one thing, and one thing only: drama. Lionheart Wedding captured every sparkle:
