Inspiration: Urban Glam Wedding

Weddings conjure up images of crisp, clean lines and brides looking like pastries. One of our favorites Wisconsin wedding photographers, Magdalene Photography, prefers that wedding shots stray from the norm. We recently collaborated in a styled shoot that sought to create a bridal look equal parts grunge and glamour. If you're an alternative bride who wants her big day to reflect her darker style, take a look at how the city's sharp edges can create a flawless Urban Glam Wedding.

-Bridal-

To bring out the glam in your urban glam wedding, we love the Elsa Overskirt from Theia. The use of beaded details on the belt gives any bride the perfect touch of glam for her dress. For the perfect look, layer this skirt with the Wtoo Elise Gown. This gown has lace and beads that combine glamour and romance. Pair it with unexpected accessories (like a leather jacket or moto boots) for the perfect alternative bridal look.

-Bridesmaids-

Darker toned colors such as eggplant, steel blue, burgundy, and metallics are great colors to give your bridesmaids a harder-edged look.  These colored dresses will look great against the blank urban background of the wedding. If you want to add more glam to your bridesmaid dresses you can always go with styles that have sequins, lace, sparkles and beading to add more romance to the gowns.
  



-Beauty-

Smoky eyes are a must for this urban glam bridal party. Adding sparkles to the dark eye can help create the ultimate glamorous makeup look. Besides adding sparkles to your makeup, showing off  romantic diamonds are the perfect touch for the Bride to bring out her glamorous side for this urban glam fairytale. We also love diamonds that are accompanied with pearls, which adds a certain decadence to this otherwise stripped-away look.

 -Venue-

A great location for your urban glam wedding is at a warehouse. This location will bring out the industrial side, cozy atmosphere and can be highlighted by the glamorous details. Having your location at an old warehouse is not only beautiful but also has a lot of history to showcase. It will provide you the perfect blank-canvas to create your wedding day vision.

 -Details-

Through the use of lights and Edison Bulbs will pop against the industrial details of your venue. When added to a warehouse-style venue, it gives the entire atmosphere a magical feel. Adding sparkles and sequins to this industrial setting is a must, whether it is an added detail to the cake or the tables, this will make your dream urban glam wedding come to life.

Inspiration: Wisconsin Vineyard Wedding

We may not be Napa, but Wisconsin has some pretty great wines. Many of them can be found in the Door County region of our little state - a picturesque place where time seems to stop & Wisconsin's landscapes are dotted with gorgeous cottages, cabins, restaurants, and wineries. The talented team at Generations Wedding Flowers & Photography recently borrowed one of our gowns for a Styled Shoot in a Door County Vineyard. I'm sure we don't even have to say it, but the photos were stunning! It's easy to see why so many Milwaukee brides are flocking to this part of our state for a "destination wedding" in their own backyard. 

Take a look below to see how we would style a beautiful wedding in a Wisconsin vineyard. 

- Bridal -

 The Wtoo "Pallas" is a great option for a Wisconsin vineyard bride. The delicate lace accents of this dress gives it the right amount of detail to keep the dress simple, romantic & elegant for an outdoor wedding. Plus, the lace details will "pop" in an outdoor setting!

-Bridesmaids-

Colors that we love for this vineyard themed wedding include muted earth tones such as mint green, mauve, and neutral pinks. Floor-length bridesmaid dresses are sometimes seen as more formal, but we love the long, elegant look they provide, especially in outdoor venues and locales. These colors and style add to the elegant and romantic feel of the wedding!

-Beauty-

To add to the outdoor vibe, incorporating a braid into your hairstyle is a lovely touch. Whether you are doing a messy up-do or long waves, a braid with flowers is the perfect beauty accessory for this earthy wedding. When picking out jewelry, less is more for this occasion. Adding a strand of pearls or a simple diamond necklace will ensure the bling doesn't distract from the beautiful bride!

-Décor-

  Having your wedding at a vineyard provides you with the green leaves and beautiful grape vines, and  these aspects are the perfect place to pull your color inspiration from! Not to mention, the breathtaking scenery of your venue will provide an idyllic backdrop for photos. The location of a vineyard wedding will compliment your décor create a fairytale setting.

-Details-

Corkscrews, wine bottles, grapes,  and wine barrels are the perfect details to make your wedding details extra special and fun. Subtle touches help enhance the overall theme. For  example, corkscrews can be personalized for party favors, whereas wine corks can be incorporated into flower vases, place holders, or even a heart-shaped decoration - the ideas are endless and inexpensive!
