One of the most exciting aspects of wedding planning is figuring out your unique style. Take inspiration from Sheena and Steven, self-proclaimed metalheads with a deep love for historical and gothic styles. They ditched tradition for a wedding theme that was 100% them:  a mystical gothic forest. They teamed up with talented vendors to bring this vision to life, adding lush greenery and a moody feel. From the bold black dress with a veil and crown to coordinating colors, flowers, and a photographer who nails moody vibes, each element effortlessly fell into place for an Ebell Long Beach wedding that reflected their unique style and love story.
Selecting a venue steeped in a century-long legacy, the couple chose a historic gem that highlighted the elegance of Spanish-Revival design from the 1920s. It provided the ideal backdrop for their special day. For their courtyard ceremony, they elevated the ornate setting with black bistro chairs and an arch adorned with lush greenery. The reception, hosted in the Grand Hall, radiated timeless elegance, with tables adorned by low arrangements of greenery complemented by chic black settings and candles, crafting a captivating ambiance for their celebration. If you and your partner find yourself drawn to the allure of a gothic wedding but feel a bit hesitant about fully embracing it, consider this your sign to go all out.
