industrial chic

What’s an industrial chic wedding? Think high glamour in an old warehouse. Think gritty bricks paired with smooth satin. Think twinkling lights in loft studios, narrow alleys that lead to former factories now converted to galleries. If you’re looking for an industrial chic wedding venue or decor ideas, this is your spot!

Sadie & Devin’s heartfelt queer wedding at a historic brewery

Two brides, a custom suit, a lavender dress, and DIYed decor, all wrapped up in a shared donut eating at the end make this wedding as sweet as sugar. But their tale of woe turned whoa in their venue selection is a scene-stealer in this wedding in Seattle.

Allison & Chris’ post-apocalyptic carnival 75 feet underground

First we’ve got midway games, fire performances, and balloon animals. Then there’s an underground cold war museum bunker, Fallout-themed decor, and post-apocalyptic catering. It’s a fusion of carnival and the apocalypse that we can totally get behind! That doesn’t even cover the fabulously redesigned heirloom dress and 3D-printed rings. And just wait until you see what happened with the helicopter ring delivery.

Beatrijs & Danny’s colourful industrial wedding

This couple’s beautiful celebration is full of contrasting elements and bright details, from the groom’s neon green shoes to the bride’s bright blue fingernails. Among all the tough stuff and inclusive measures like making sure there was plenty of seating inside and out, you’ve also got to love how they were able to include the bride’s father, recuperating in the hospital, via iPhone presence and Skype.

Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory

Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.
