A Modern Romance: Moody + Elegant Wedding Inspiration with Accents of Leather + Velvet

Elegant Eclectic Wedding Inspiration

For those that love all things moody, with a dash of elegance, a touch of leather, and a whole lot of velvet — have we got a treat for you! Coming to us from the streets (and a cool warehouse event space, Block 41) in Seattle is today’s eclectic and modern wedding inspiration!

Erin of Yay! Parties & Co. shares: This styled shoot embodies a bride and groom that have eclectic tastes but are also lured by the clean, the modern, and even the romantic. They take risks with patterns and textures. A mix of leather, velvet and wood show their love for the natural; while copper and concrete bring a hint of an industrial edge. They might be called bohemian, but still embrace the elegant – never overdone.

Intrigued? So were we! Let’s see the snaps taken by Tiarra Sorte Photography!

With stunning capture of shadows and light, velvet and lace, old and new…we hoped to tell the story of changing seasons, winter to spring. And a bride and groom that are trendy but appreciate timeless elements and style.

The Florals

When it came to florals, Teressa Johnson Studio was all about the textures: pampas grass, dried leafy greens, and an antique-hued flowers.

The Lounge

boho lounge

Located in the heart of Belltown, the impeccably renovated 1927 former ice warehouse combines the best of old and new – massive old growth timber, exposed brick walls, and vintage car decking merge gracefully with blackened steel, leather column wraps, and state-of-the-art building systems. Perfectly referencing the elements of this editorial!

peonies

cocktails

Playing off of the “old meets new” idea, tons of metallic details of rose gold and copper were seen throughout.
