Captain America & Peggy Carter: an iconic Marvel comics engagement shoot

Have you all seen Avengers: Infinity War yet?! If you’re still waiting, here’s a little treat to tide you over…

After seven years of dating, Sean proposed to Jess while on an Alaskan Cruise with both of their families. While planning their engagement shoot, they wanted something out of the box that celebrated one of their many fandoms (they love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and all things Marvel!). Years ago, Sean had gifted his bride-to-be with Marvel’s Peggy Carter’s signature red fedora. That iconic hat acted as the inspiration for this Marvel comics engagement shoot.

What's new & chic in cool wedding veils?

What’s trending in alternative wedding veils?

Are you in the market for something a little different in a wedding veil? Sure you could snag a cool wedding hat, an elaborate headpiece, or a sleek and stylish crown, but sometimes you want the grandeur of a VEIL. A birdcage, a flowing cathedral, a flowery crown with tulle… but with a twist!

I found some gorgeous doozies with colors, vintage elements, dip dyes, embroidery, stars, custom words(!), and just tons of rad and unexpected details. Here are some of my favorite alternative wedding veils…

Bright idea: a seriously bad-ass meets angelic LED crystal tiara

Bright idea: bad-ass meets angelic with these LED crystal tiaras

I’m already enamored of crystal tiaras in general. You can see some of my faves here. BUT BUT BUT: y’all, they also come as LED crystal crowns! Yes, you can totally walk down the aisle in a glowing rainbow of crystal making you look like some kind of lit-up unicorn queen goddess. Or maybe you’re into slightly more understated and demure, glowing white crystals? No matter what style of glow-up you’re going to rock, there’s a tiara calling your name.

This edgy Neon Demon wedding inspiration is a fashion WIN

When I saw this edgy, Neon Demon wedding inspiration shoot, I couldn’t stop digging on the purple undercut, the glittery gold and black dresses, and the ahhhh-mazing venue that is The Camby in Phoenix. I just knew that someone was going to be inspired to find themselves taking equally killer photos in these hallways.

Don’t miss the ’80s-inspired aesthetic and midcentury modern details…

This Colorado wedding inspiration channels sleek color, holiday vibes, and 420-friendly favors

This Denver wedding inspiration channels holiday vibes, a gorgeous clock tower, and 420-friendly favors

The concept of this lovely Denver wedding inspiration was a little 420 mixed in with loads of greenery, tons of glass detail, and a super pared down color palette (lots of green and white with just a bit of purple). It’s elegant, clean, and channels a sleek winter wedding. There’s cannabis included in the bride’s hair and florals as well as a bud-bar, which is getting popular in states where it’s legal, like there in Colorado.

Don’t miss the epic clock tower shots, the chic glass apothecary jars (put candy, treats, favors in there as you like!), and the bedazzled silvery cake…
