Imagine a wedding where elegance meets Metal in a captivating rock ballad of unconventional beauty.

I feel blessed to have learnt about the details of this couple's 'Match made in Metal' wedding ceremony during an early accessory consultation with bride Daria, where we discussed those details and used them to plan the design for a bespoke silver crown that would be worn to set off Daria's glorious pink hair.
The unconventional elegance of this real wedding at Ripley Castle truly speaks to the uniqueness of this couple's love and will offer inspiration to you if you're planning a wedding set in a traditional wedding venue but can't resist including a touch of your wild side!
Ripley Castle in Yorkshire as the Perfect Backdrop
To bring the vision of their metal-inspired Yorkshire Castle wedding to life, Daria and Robert knew they needed a venue that would serve as a stunning canvas for the unconventional elegance. of their day. Enter Ripley Castle, a magnificent edifice nestled in the heart of Yorkshire. With its towering turrets, lush greenery, and centuries-old charm, this castle was the perfect choice to set the stage for a wedding like no other.
As guests arrived at Ripley Castle, they were transported to a world where history and modernity collided in perfect harmony. The imposing stone walls providing a dramatic backdrop, while the meticulously manicured gardens added a touch of softness and romance to the overall atmosphere of the day.
Dazzling Details: The Bride's Bespoke Silver Crown
Daria's bridal look was a true reflection of her unconventional style, and the bespoke, hand beaded, silver crown I designed for her, with dramatic red accents to draw the eye and harmonise with the other red accents included in her wedding styling, played a central role in completing her vision.
Having shared the details of their planned wedding hand-fasting ritual with me, and the beautiful silver and red braided cord they would use for the ceremony, I suggested that I use that design as inspiration for the colour, shaping and texture of Daria's silver headpiece. We also agreed to include vibrant red crystals to make the design pop and to add a touch of regal elegance to her look.
The choice of a silver crown for Daria was not only a nod to the metal-inspired theme of the day but also a symbol of strength and endurance. Just as silver stands the test of time, Daria's and Robert's love and commitment should also stay strong through the years.
The wearing of her statement silver crown truly transformed Daria's wedding day look into that of a modern-day queen, confident and radiant as she walked down the aisle, and very fitting in the setting of Ripley Castle.
Beyond the accessories, Daria's and Robert's dedication to incorporating unconventional elements into their wedding day truly made the celebration their own.
From the striking metal-inspired decor to the groom's black nail polish, this couple were careful to include nods to their unique style and love story. The result being a wedding experience that not only left an impression on their guests but also ensured that every aspect of the day held personal significance for the couple.
In the world of weddings, where tradition often reigns supreme, Daria and Robert's metal-inspired Yorkshire Castle wedding stands out as a shining example of unconventional elegance.
