Get ready to get your halloween inspiration on. We somehow never blogged this amazing shoot, and though it’s over a year old, we thought the timing couldn’t be better to share a little moodiness, drama, darkness, and allure for your badass wedding plans. So much creative fun happened with so many incredibly talented folks for this shoot organized by the always rad Urban Shindigs. We couldn’t be more excited to share the wonder from this fall all-hallows-eve inspiration shoot.
First off, we trekked out east, to have an adventure in the wild woods and crackling fall branches of afar.

This spectacular moody amethyst-hued invitation suite by Twinkle & Toast just absolutely floored us, a perfect way to set the tone for this whole experience.



This blush-colored gown by Watters from The Dress Theory San Diego has us all heart eyes… the lace bodice and that floaty skirt! DED. And this is Shelby McElroy, who happens to be both model and MUA in one—wows!



A bridal bouquet with wild foliage and King Protea by Luxe Botanique provides the perfect blend of mystique and drama.


















The dramatic boho reception setting was created with vintage rentals from Pow Wow Design Studio styled by Urban Shindigs and table settings by Not My Dish. How deliciously dark and inviting!?!?!










Hey There, Cupcake fashioned the most mesmerizing crystal-like and geode-inspired desserts.
No, but really, it’s the kind of magic you absolutely can’t take your eyes off. You need this spectacular cake. Yep.


Black cat happened upon us because of course it did. There was witchy magic in the air.


Rest in peace, wanderers.



This moody, wedding inspiration collaborative shoot was featured on Green Wedding Shoes. Go check it out for more hypnotic images! And take a look at the gorgeous video by Audrey Alba from the day.
