Modern Midsummer Wedding

Inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the team behind today’s lovely editorial gave a modern spin to the whimsical, ornate essence of this beloved theater piece. Photographer, Leighanne Herr, collaborated with the event designers at Dolce Designs to bring a truly dreamy setting to life and we are just loving the light + airy vibe they’ve created.

Leighanne shares, We designed a moon for the backdrop as it is quite symbolic in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Kelly Lee Designs created a gorgeous paper aisle runner with an excerpt from the play. Flora&Eventi did an amazing job with the table scape, creating a large tree that spilled over the table as if you were enjoying a meal amidst the forest.

The juxtaposition of this table setting shows the team’s vision and creativity to a T. We love the pairing of modern ghost chairs with the overgrown, organic centerpiece – and the additions of woodland-inspired moss and romantic, ornate place settings really take the look to next-level good!

And we love how this editorial provides not only design inspiration, but fashion inspiration, too! This closing look – with a dress from A & Bé Bridal Shop + cape by Minaree Finery – is too dreamy for words!

Thanks a million to the talented team below for sharing their work today!
