Lady Red- Gothic Wedding Inspiration with a Fairytale Twist

Aston Hill Barns has been transformed into a moody yet romantic wedding scene, full of imagination. Bethan from Finishing Flourishes was the florist and stylist behind this gothic wedding inspiration. She told us about her inspirations:

“I love creating something a little bit different and I found myself being drawn towards a dark woodland sort of feel. By using moss logs, twigs and trees I wanted to create the feeling that things were growing and decomposing around the venue. I drew inspiration from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, in particular Snow White, with subtle nods to this in the styling.

I wanted to incorporate Jamie’s fabulous red hair colour into the styling to bring the look together. With the wedding flowers, I used combinations of high quality artificial alongside fresh (I’m finding this is becoming quite popular with couples wanting big impact but, on a budget). I also knew I wanted to use CRZyBest’s exquisite carved sculptures from the word go, tucking the delicate leaves, butterflies and hand carved bird skulls into the moss.”

All of these elements created a dreamy wedding ceremony with soft flowing fabrics and candles, which worked perfectly for the candle ritual conducted by Infinite Ceremonies By Jas. The gothic edge was maintained with hanging gold birdcages and twinkling twig trees.
