Remember when the idea of wearing a mask conjured up something a little more romantic? Imaginative costumes and mysterious dance partners, drinks clinking and laughter in the air…the eerie nostalgia of a true masquerade ball! Today, we’re diving head-first into a version that mixes Edgar Allan Poe wedding inspiration with a moody-glam aesthetic and it’s perfectly suitable for autumn.

This moody and whimsical shoot was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s love for the dark and dramatic. All the stars aligned to bring this “dream within a dream” together. Heather from Orange Trunk Vintage Styling and Rentals led the creative vision and brought all styling elements together while Captured in Amber Photography caught the details.

The Acreage in Alberta provided a haunting yet stunning backdrop for the day! This deep red bouquet is just a first look at just one of the stunning masterpieces designed by Creative Edge Flowers! Orange Trunk Vintage Styling and Rentals brought in unique vintage pieces that grounded the day in dark and romantic vibes. And the Coven Creative lanterns both move the eye and set the mood. If you’re looking for an Edgar Allan Poe wedding idea, this custom banner that Mountain Grove Studios created is a beautiful way to add poetry to the day! It’s not a masquerade ball without a mask! The real floral masks created by Creative Edge Flowers are mysterious and stunning! And for the grand finale of this Edgar Allan Poe wedding inspiration, Modern Bake designed a cake full of over-the-top drama! Take a look at beautiful photos of this wedding shoot and get inspired!
