Fantasy Fairytale Wedding Ideas With A Vintage Travel Vibe

Share

Fairytale weddings are the best, but how do you choose just one to go with? Well, if you are Melista Bahler Photography you don’t. This next styled shoot has bits and pieces of those storybook tales that we all love, just enough to give you the feeling of your fantasy “I do” while still being something truly unique. And to top it all off, a subtle hint of old-fashioned travel is sprinkled in via steamer trunks and luggage. 

Keep scrolling for more fab ideas, and really the dessert table is a must see! You can see all of this plus even more in the full gallery. Enjoy!

From Melista Bahler Photography

When choosing the theme for our Styled Shoot we decided to go for a Vintage Chic look with some elegance. When we chose our location, a Cathedral that was built in 1882 everything came together beautifully. We absolutely love the combination of Navy and Burgundy which flowed wonderfully with the Gold and Ivory tones. I think the cupcakes gave a unique look that is very up and coming!
