Heather loved everything about Halloween since she was a child. Stephen King novels, horror movies, Sabrina the Teenage Witch...Heather’s love of Halloween and all things spooky would only grow with age.  And then she met Rory Spellman. (I know, right?!)  Rory, despite his last name, isn’t the biggest fan of being scared. What he does love is history. Even more so, he loves the girl who likes a spook or two.  When Heather + Rory asked us to film their Halloween themed wedding in Salem, Massachusetts (yeah, that Salem) it was all we could do not to fall out of our chairs from excitement. (Pao’s favorite holiday is Halloween, afterall!) Famous for its witch trials, H + R would find no place better suited for their Hallowedding than the Witch City itself. Their intimate elopement ceremony took place at the historic Ropes Mansion & Gardens which was also used in the movie “Hocus Pocus” as the set of Allison’s house. And if you thought it couldn’t get any better than that, a witch named Borah swept in to officiate their ceremony! Every spooky detail of this day was beautiful and unique in every way, just like H+R.

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

Casual weddings are most often a style used in backyard weddings, but we also see it at beach or tented weddings. For the attire, brides may want to wear a tea-length dress or jumpsuit. Grooms should stick to lighter shades, like tan, and toss the jacket.

Consider serving drinks prior to the ceremony to get your guests in a party mood!

Need vendors for your casual wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A casual wedding is playful, fun and great for weddings with a smaller guest list. The ceremony is often outdoors or hosted in a backyard and we love the thought of using benches for the seating to really keeps the formality to a minimum. String lights are a must!

With a more informal celebration, you can really get creative with the menu and play with your décor. There's no need for china or chargers at a casual reception so have fun with the place settings, like a patterned or textured placemat. As for food, comfort food is a no-brainer. Try an elevated version like mini chicken and waffles or shooters of tomato soup with tiny grilled cheese bites on the side. We encourage you to consider family-style dining as opposed to a formal plated dinner.
