Moody Masquerade Ball Meets Edgar Allan Poe Wedding Inspiration

Planning

Dark and Romantic Wedding Inspiration

Remember when the idea of wearing a mask conjured up something a little more romantic? Imaginative costumes and mysterious dance partners, drinks clinking and laughter in the air…the eerie nostalgia of a true masquerade ball! Today, we’re diving head-first into a version that mixes Edgar Allan Poe wedding inspiration with a moody-glam aesthetic and it’s perfectly suitable for autumn. The vision was a true collaboration of ideas from all the wedding artists involved behind the scenes! Here’s what photographer Amber Stallard had to share:

This moody and whimsical shoot was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s love for the dark and dramatic. All the stars aligned to bring this “dream within a dream” together. We hope to inspire couples who want a less traditional wedding or elopement and to truly connect with their darker side.

Heather from Orange Trunk Vintage Styling and Rentals led the creative vision and brought all styling elements together while Captured in Amber Photography caught the details:
