Gothic micro wedding set up

This lovely blog and gallery is brought to you by Lauren Beth Photography who created the concept of this shoot to showcase to couples that smaller weddings can still be beautiful when you work with some incredible suppliers, you can still create a gorgeous set up and focus on you both as a couple.

I really wanted to create something alternative using deep rich colours to reflect the time of year. After approaching a local stylist and a beautiful barn venue, we gradually built up an amazing team of suppliers! Our aim was to create a beautiful micro wedding setup using seasonal colours with a gothic theme and an elegant touch of Autumn.

From the dark wooden furniture & deep coloured glassware and crockery, to seasonal coloured florals, together with black and gold stationery, finished with a 'You & Me' neon light, we wanted to create a beautiful intimate setting for our wedding couple. We had a delicious dark drip cake with fresh autumnal fruit and mini black and gold pumpkin cakes for favours to compliment the large pumpkin decor. I felt it was important to add a personal touch to reflect the intimate setting and focus on our wedding couple. We had an elegant glass jewellery box with our couples initials, along with pumpkins personalised with our Bride and Groom names.

Our bride & groom were dressed in deep burgundy and black. Our bride wore a stunning black dress complimented with handmade accessories including a black lace garter and black crystal tiara. For hair and makeup, we went for dark smokey eyes with deep burgundy lips, loose curls with delicate braiding throughout.
