Metallic, marble, and chic style: now THIS is fab modern wedding inspiration

We were blown away by the chic style, classy fashion, and amazing Denver Art Museum venue at the styled elopement of real life couple Gabriel and David. Much of the inspiration came from a painting by Zeng Fanzhi at the museum. They cultivated a colorful and sleekly modern style into which we want to sink. Think sharp grays and blues and fresh tidbits of saturated citrus color everywhere.

Come for the art, stay for the shoes (on everyone!), the ultra stylish invites, the metallic marble and geometric cake, and the couple #goals. This is some urban modern wedding inspiration we can get behind…

Madison and Aaron had a winter wedding filled with pink leggings, a snowboarding bride, a rowdy group of howling groomsmen, and loud punk music filling the air. Instead of walking down the aisle, Madison snowboarded through it! After a few photos on the ice caved shore of Lake Michigan, the crew headed to their castle reception(!) where the partying began in earnest. Later in the night, the party shifted to a punk rock celebration. Hell yes it did! You’ll want to see this wintry, punk rock wedding on the slopes…

Add in their classy “Best Day Ever” cake, funky decor at the restaurant, and requisite rings-on-pizza-slice shot, and you’ve got a deliciously fab tiny wedding…
