Wedding bouquet alternative idea: herb bundle bouquet

This Halloween wedding fashion inspiration has some of my very favorite things: plenty of rings, an herb bundle bouquet, crystals, skulls, and a forest backdrop.

A dark, elegant, black and white goth wedding

Inger is a dark Disney girl and wanted her dress to be the only white thing at her wedding. She got her wish and everything was styled in black and white.

It’s genius.
