This Indoor Space Was Transformed Into the Most Magical Tropical Oasis for an Elopement

Boho Jungle Wedding Inspiration

Dreaming of a tropical + beachy day, but trying to figure out the logistics of traveling to the Caribbean? What if we told you that you can create the ultimate bohemian oasis, in the comfort of your home (or a cool loft)? Yup, that’s *EXACTLY* what today’s editorial is out to prove! Event designer, Fabloomosity, teamed up with photographer, Barbara Rahal, to completely transform the brick + concrete space at Yellowhead Brewery.

Would you ever guess that this space is about as far from the tropics as possible? In fact, it’s in Canada! Barbara tells us: I had been dreaming about putting together a shoot as special as this one. As we all know, intimate weddings are becoming more attractive to couples and I wanted to take some not so typical locations, like this local brewery, and give it a new look to inspire couples to see things with new eyes. You can create anything you want if you think outside the box for your wedding or elopement. 

Let’s take a peek:

Rue de Seine Wedding Dress

This editorial stemmed from the idea of two free-spirited + vagabond hearts that wanted to celebrate in an intimate space. Even though it was set in Canada, the set was made cozy with tons of textures, candles, and an overall tropical meets desert vibe.

The Details

The inspiration for this shoot was definitely for people who choose to lead an unconventional life: travelers, artists and bohemians at heart… combining aspects of the desert and tropical greenery, colors, and patterns from many walks of life and many areas of the world. I wanted to show them that they can create a ceremony area full of life, culture, and interesting items that embraces the carefree, the relaxed, and the unusual that look like they have been collected and gathered over time through many travel adventures.

The team at Fabloomosity brought the tropical meets desert vibes indoors with some cacti and all the amazing tropical greenery like monstera leaves, Banana leaf, and palms.

The Outfits

Barbara shares: I had this idea of a Southwestern-inspired hat, and Fabloomosity made it a reality! As bridal hats are in vogue, I wanted to add a colorful and different touch to match the bride’s style.

Layers and layers of local jewelry from Andronyk Jewelry highlighted the bride’s décolletage.

How incredible is this ‘Poppy Stardust’ gown from Rue de Seine? To complement the bride’s gorgeous get-up, the groom donned a touch of vintage, with pieces from Mr Derk.

I have a deep love of macramé and I knew I wanted to incorporate it in a different way, and then add the creative floral design into the mix. We also added Himmelis from Salvage + Bronze (the geometric ornament) for prosperity in their new path and a pampas grass moon, for good measure.
