The Smashing Pumpkins‘ Mellan Collie & the Infinite Sadness was one of my favorite albums back in the day and the music video for ‘Tonight’ is still among the best ever.  The aesthetic in the video is very ‘steampunk’ but I think using touches of the Victorian aesthetic as inspiration for a wedding without going fully themed would make for an absolutely stunning affair!

The Dress

This little number from Vera Wang would make for a devastatingly romantic bridal look.  I love the soft grey color and pleated detailing in the back.

The Design

Lush foliage and broodingly dark flowers are the perfect touch & antique apothecary bottles, aged metals, or smoked glass make for the perfect vessels.

The Details

Ceremony musicians wearing these fabulous military style jackets would be a pretty amazing.  I also love the idea of having a cellist or two playing a classical version of the song as ceremony music.

Nothing could be better than having this wedding under the stars.  If you can’t have the real thing,  a planetarium would be an excellent venue.

 For a tent, using filament lighting would make for a lovely star-like effect.

 This cake from Lael Cakes  is the perfect finishing touch!
