Its a vast space that you need to get creative to fill and with this in mind, we wanted to create something a little different that still complimented the venue but adding unusual blooms and colours to draw your interest levels in. This wedding inspiration came together with a complete goal to inspire wedding couples to think about how to approach their wedding differently and take elements from it to make it their own.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0046-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">The venue itself is located in one of Sheffields oldest industrial districts and it stands on a man-made island over 900 years old. The museum itself opened in 1982 to house objects, pictures and archive material representing Sheffields industrial story. The upper level of the function area has wonderful tiled walls with exposed metal ceiling beams.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0057-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Fran from Francesca Cliffe Events provided a beautiful black dress and as a team decided to add anthuriums with a coral and pink colour theme to showcase against the black. We wanted to highlight the venue and encourage couples to really think outside the box of the vintage and industrial look and add a whole load of romance. Using foliage hoops to hang from ceilings and using different table set ups like chairs and benches that can really make the space unique. <br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">When considering the design of the dress Kelly chose to make an elegant fit and flare lace and crepe wedding gown. The crepe skirt hangs beautifully with a train. The bodice is fitted to the waist with a low V front neckline and an open lace back finished with a covered button fastening. The neckline is embellished with the scallop edge detail from the corded black lace. The dress also features stunning black lace sleeves and a black waistband. To style with the dress Kelly also made a two-tier chapel length black veil and a black lace headpiece. Designer Kelly created this bespoke gown to showcase to brides how they can choose a non-traditional colour to suit their own personality and style whilst still having the visual appeal of a traditional wedding gown.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0025-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Our photographer, Sarah from Key Reflections, was keen to be involved and looked forward to having the opportunity to be part of such an exciting project. The idea surrounding the shoot was slightly alternative with the bride wearing a black dress. In terms of the photography Sarah was keen to ensure the images remained light and airy without trying to make the whole feel too gothic, this was complimented by the soft make-up in the first look.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0012-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Locations were chosen that would fit with the look we had created which would offer both light and space to the images. With the focus be very much being on Sheffield, with this as its location and from which many of the suppliers are located, we used areas around the museum which would highlight this and provide the audience with a story and a setting. When it came to the second look we created, the indoor spaces in the museum worked perfectly, especially with the warm lighting and the table layout and then in the ceremony room with the foliage chandelier.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0060-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Coral was just tipping the colour trend spectrum when we set out to do the shoot so we wanted to use this tone with the anthuriums which really brings in a new texture. We also used David Austin roses, Norma Jean roses (the scent of these are divine), pollianthus, peony, bunny tails (not real ones), eustoma and a range of different eucalyptus varieties. To really set the standard in the wave of eco-friendly designing, all our methods of flower designing for the shoot are foam free.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0045-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">We had the pleasure of working closely with Joanna from Wrap in Wood. She created two different macram styled bouquet wraps (one white / one black) which are gorgeous, on trend and really distinctive. Her talent didnt end there when she invented a mini design for Conors Buttonhole design.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center; "><o:p> </o:p><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0009-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 50%;"></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: center; "><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0029-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 50%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText">We had a clear idea of what we wanted to create flower wise in the Crucible Room and with the go ahead from Kelham Island and the help of Wild Wedding Days we created an earthy and intimate ceremony focal point with the two-tier foliage chandelier with the added extra of hanging glass tealight baubles.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0054-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><o:p><br></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Ange from The Snowdrop Cakery created three cake styles - In keeping with the black elegant style the cake trio allowed a few different but modern styles. Texture on cake is very on trend at the moment so an aged concrete/stone embossed effect was used on all cakes. Top cake was dressed as though material had been draped over them, a very relaxed but highly effective cake style. Cake two had lots of texturing with gold underlying. Bottom cake also included the texturing but with a torn fondant wrap and gold splashes.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0040-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Wild Wedding Days supplied the framework of the foliage hoop so Fantail Florist create the foliage chandelier.

For the second look, when we added the black veil I knew a darker romantic look would compliment the look, so we darkened the eye slightly, and changed the lip colour.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0019-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Hair stylist, Katrina Wilson, says The setting of the historic and storytelling museum, Kelham Island, inspired me to create a look that could only take us to industry romance! This brought all my experience and skills to the finishing touch, I couldnt be more thrilled about the final look! I love working with different clients, hair locations and fellow team colleagues as that is the inspiration that continues to be the future of great things.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0021-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p class="MsoPlainText"></p><p class="MsoPlainText">The rectangular ring from Tiago which we used for the main shots is a bespoke platinum 1.24 ct art deco inspired engagement ring featuring a decorative millgrain detail.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><img src="../blogimages/603457192/pretty-and-punk0059-black-wedding-inspiration-sheffield-wedding.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><o:p><br></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>Thank you so much for this deliciously dark, romantic wedding inspiration!
