A tropical wedding with dark accents at The West Events
Madeira Beach, Florida
Thinking outside of the box, I wanted to create a modern, tropical wedding inspiration shoot.
The theme we were looking to capture was dark luxe, romance with a tropical twist. I went for maximum impact by incorporating an abundance of greenery, acrylic ghost chairs, and flickering black taper candles. Everything meshed so elegantly and together all of the little details were the perfect mix of modern and luxe in an industrial setting.
Complementing the modern tropical twist, Save the Date Florida and Set and Styled created a stunning tablescape with black flatware, crystal glassware, and gold detailed place settings. The eclectic decor captured a moody vision dripping with dark and soft tones, while gold and blush accents added a romantic vibe.
From the fresh take on moody-glam decor to the breathtaking reception, everything dazzled, including the dessert table which featured three separate all-black wedding cakes from Tampa Bay Cake Company.
Blush pink and gold weddings have come a long way from its popular neutral palette. These pastel colors add elegance to any wedding and can even be paired with a dark and moody design.
