Writing Notes: Wedding Theme

Theme - (in wedding planning) an idea, concept, or mood that unites the various elements of your wedding day.

The chosen vibe of your wedding can dictate the floral bouquets, décor color schemes, and even the style of the wedding attire.

You can choose from different wedding styles or aesthetics, such as: boho, glam, eco-friendly, minimalist, or elegant.

Part of the fun of planning your wedding is that you get to choose how your wedding venue can help you accomplish your theme, and you can select wedding décor that match your ideas.

Wedding Theme Ideas

Once you decide on a theme, choose the design motifs that will make for the perfect wedding. Consider these popular wedding themes:

Art deco wedding: This is a more design-forward approach; flappers and other 1920s aesthetics may weave their way into your art deco style, which features geometric shapes, sleek artwork, and zigzag or chevron-patterned forms. You can extend the theme into wedding favors, like gold art deco matchboxes for guests.

Beach wedding: Guests may go barefoot at the waterfront ceremony for this kind of destination wedding. You might suggest pastels for décor to keep with the summery vibe or advise guests wear white or neutral-colored linen outfits to match the aesthetic. You can extend the theme to the drink menu, with specialty cocktails like Mojitos and Piña Coladas.

Bohemian wedding: You might feature found materials or DIY centerpieces as table décor for your bohemian wedding. For bohemian weddings, brides and grooms might opt for nontraditional attire, and guests can wear looser, less formal clothing. Bohemian weddings emphasize authenticity over glitz and Edison bulbs over expensive chandeliers. This wedding theme may take on an outdoorsy element, so a garden wedding can also double as a boho-chic one.

Outdoor wedding: You can transform the great outdoors into your personal wonderland. If you gather in a park or backyard or near the mountain or a lake, your outdoor wedding can offer wedding guests a less formal setting. You can opt for simple table settings and wildflowers from nearby areas as your wedding flowers. Wedding planners should have a backup plan in case of bad weather.

Modern wedding: For a modern, elegant wedding, choose simple décor and clean lines to emphasize the venue or wedding location.

Rustic wedding: The rustic wedding theme nods toward the natural world with wood and DIY flair. You might use glass jars as drinking vessels, rely on fairy lights for softer lighting, and set your wedding ceremony in a barn or other setting with elements of greenery.

Seasonal wedding: When planning a wedding, lean into the season. You have plenty to play with in terms of floral arrangements, dress colors, and even linen styles depending on if you have a spring wedding, summer wedding, fall wedding, or winter wedding. For example, your fall wedding might feature tablescapes with autumn leaves.

Traditional wedding: If you want a classic wedding theme, you will follow several traditions. For example, you might host a black-tie event where groomsmen wear tuxedos, and the bridal party wears matching dresses. Or you may have a cake topper that looks like you and your significant other in doll form. Your classic wedding can follow familiar beats: a ceremony and then cocktail hour, toasts, dinner, dancing, and the cutting of the wedding cake.

Whimsical wedding: Whimsy can certainly factor into your romantic wedding. You can choose quirky floral arrangements, dresses with funky patterns, snaking tables (as opposed to plain circular or square ones), and various types of chairs and lighting fixtures.

Vintage wedding: Upcycled and reclaimed goods can make for a glamorous wedding. You can tie the theme together and give your guests a memorable experience with vintage dresses, silverware, glassware, and other materials.

Wedding Theme Tips

When fashioning your wedding theme, consider these tips from celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss:

Borrow décor items and flatware. Themes often require particular décor items, like wooden slabs for a rustic reception, rattan chargers for a tropical event, or mismatched china for a romantic affair. “You can borrow furniture,” Mindy says. “If you like that eclectic look, pull out a bunch of different tables. It's only gonna add to the personality.” You can also suggest a theme through votives, glassware, and flatware. “I guarantee you your aunts, your mother, your sisters, and your friends will have wonderful flatware that you can borrow,” she adds.”

Go bold with your theme. The color and size of décor items you choose can help express a theme, regardless of your budget. “If you're looking for ultimate drama, I would go deep, dark, bold flowers,” Mindy says. “No matter the time of year. . . if someone comes in and says, ‘I wanna sexy, bold wedding,’ I'm gonna reach right for these big, burgundy dahlias or roses, which are readily available most places. So bold is color, it's size, and it's depth. If you're goin' bold, do it. And you can do it on a budget because more color, the less you need.”

Enlist the help of your wedding party. It takes time and effort to commit to a theme, especially when you have a budget to consider. A theme might require you to forage wild flowers, hang string lights, or craft centerpieces. “Get your wedding party to help you—both sides of the wedding party,” Mindy advises. “Make it a fun event maybe even a couple days before the wedding, or don't go to bed too late the night before [and] spend the day together, finishing everything up.”

Make it personal. No matter what theme you choose, add personal touches to go the extra mile. “I did an event once where the client really did the research and gave me a picture of every guest there,” Mindy recalls. “We made that part of the place card. So not only was it fun to find your place, but it really showed that the couple took the extra effort to let you know, ‘We are happy that you're at our event.’”

Pick a color palette. Mindy encourages couples to add a little color, even if they have a simple palette. “Colors really reflect an emotion, not only with you as a couple, but as your guests walk into the room,” Mindy says. “There's always a reaction. So whether you're choosing something that's very modern or you're choosing something that is like an unkempt garden, immediately they will know what direction you have chosen for the look and feel of your wedding.”

How to Choose Wedding Flowers Based on Your Wedding Dress

Choosing your wedding flowers has to be one of the most entertaining parts of planning your special day. Colorizing and serving as a beautiful visual element to your ceremony and reception, it can set the mood to tone. Of course, with all these gorgeous flowers, it can overwhelm choosing which ones to use. One great way to cut back on choices when choosing your wedding flowers bouquet is to base them on your wedding dress.

Of course, the bridal look has one most important thing attached to it-your wedding dress. Everything-from your bouquet to your floral arrangements-should complement and enhance this while falling into harmony with your wedding dress-modern, sleek or old-fashioned and romantic. Here's some guidance on choosing wedding flowers for you and your wedding that beautifully line up with your wedding dress and ensure a harmonious and breathtaking bridal look.

Consider the Style of Your Wedding Dress

First, you must ponder the style of your gown as you make a selection. There are so many kinds of dresses that give off different moods and themes; hence, the flowers you choose should do justice to the vibe of the gown.

1. Classic and Traditional Dresses

Your bouquet should follow suit if you’ve chosen a timeless, elegant wedding dress, such as a ball gown or A-line dress with lace and intricate detailing. Classic bridal gowns often have a formal, refined look; your flowers should mirror that sophistication.

Flower Suggestions: For flowers, roses, calla lilies, or orchids would be great. They do look quite timeless, so that would give a very elegant feel. One can choose a bouquet of creamy white roses or ivory calla lilies that will go really well with the soft feel of a classic wedding gown.

Bouquet Style: The bouquet style would be classical and rounded with structure. A cascading bouquet with soft greenery, reminding one of flowing lines in a classic gown, will make for a perfect choice.

2. Bohemian or Vintage Dresses

A bohemian or vintage-inspired wedding dress can include soft chiffon or lace and even flowy tulle to a silhouette that might be more relaxed, free-spirited, and whimsical. If this is your dress, flowers should reflect that organic, effortless sensibility.

Flower Suggestions: Consider bohemian-looking flowers, like wildflowers, dahlias, sunflowers, or even lavender, for its endearing vintage look. The peony is also a perfect option because the flowers open romantically and lavishly.

Bouquet Style: To complete the boho style of this dress, informal bouquets are recommended to be used; a wildflower wreath and a hand-tied bouquet made using a flowing ribbon would be perfectly apt in this style.

3. Modern and Minimalist Dresses

They can be old-school bohemian, all flowy chiffon and lace, or high-end whimsical tulle. A boho-chic and vintage-inspired wedding dress may be characterized as loose, carefree whimsy-if you're wearing this type of dress, you'll want flowers that give off the same feeling of natural, relaxed beauty.

Flower Suggestions: Choose bold, architectural flowers like tulips, anemones, or orchids would be nice choices, and modern flower bouquets with ranunculuses would be excellent because of their clean, sculptural feel.

Bouquet Style: Use this for a more modern dress; it is best suited to a simple, elegant hand-tied bouquet of one or two kinds of flowers. Many colors tend towards creating a sleek modern look, such as monochromatic or an all-white or soft pastel.

4. Romantic Dresses

If your wedding dress is romantic with soft tulle or satin, a sweetheart neckline, and some really exquisite lace details, so should the flowers. Romantic wedding dresses tend to be very classic in shape but rather more detailed and softer in feel.

Flower Suggestions:Soft, romantic blooms such as roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and baby's breath are lovely for this kind of dress. These flowers evoke romance, but also the grace that a gentle dressy should provide.

Bouquet Style: For a romantic look, a lush bouquet with a rounded style that's mixed and full of greenery will be gorgeous. Almost like a cascading bouquet accented with soft ribbons or delicate lace intertwined to complement the detailing of the gown.

5. Beach or Destination Wedding Dresses

Beach or destination wedding gowns are always light, airy, and made of breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. An outdoor garden wedding with a very relaxed and carefree atmosphere would make for an easy flowing simple and tropical flowers wedding.

Flower Suggestions: Vibrant tropical blooms like plumeria, orchids, gardenias, or frangipani blooms are great picks. Anthuriums hold that essence of exotica, that goes amiss with the beach view.

Bouquet Style: If it's just a relaxed, loose bouquet, consisting of a few flowers only, inspired by the beauties of your destination, it's going. Hand-tied bouquet with tropical green and colorful blooms will match the beach wedding dress perfectly.

Match Your Wedding Flowers with Your Dress’s Color Palette

Another important consideration in selection of flowers is the style-and, most importantly, the color-of the wedding dress. Most brides want to wear a white or an ivory-colored bridal gown. If you're going to wear a dress in another color, such as blush pink, champagne, or even mom's old non-traditional red or black, the flowers should highlight that color.

1. Blush or Colored Wedding Dresses

Blush, champagne, or colored wedding dresses offer a bit of personality and uniqueness. For these dresses, you’ll want flowers that either complement or create a contrast with the color of your gown.

Flower Suggestions: Soft, pastel blooms such as roses and peonies play really well with the blush-colored gown. If your color is a deeper shade, such as deep red or navy, juxtapose it with paper flowers such as white lilies, roses, or ranunculus to form a stunning yet balanced look.

2. Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

A bright red, black, or floral print wedding dress makes a statement. If your dress is something off the beaten pathway in color, the flowers should complement and balance out the boldness of your gown.

Flower Suggestions: Statement white or red flowers will really go well with black weddings; even calla lilies, roses, or orchids will do. Red wedding gowns match up pretty well with white and golden red flowers and with red roses, lilies, and tulips producing beautiful contrasts.

Match Flower Shapes with Your Dress Silhouette

How the dress shapes the silhouette will also determine the shape and size of the bouquet. In creating the overall look, the flowers should flow well along the lines of the dress.

Ball Gowns and A-Line Dresses: These are very full voluminous gowns, so choose large lush bouquets with many flowers and foliage to balance the volume. Cascading or big rounded bouquets work wonderfully with these gowns.

Mermaid and Fitted Dresses: A small, subtle bouquet would do just the trick for a woman whose silhouette is more or less mermaid-like or fitted. Her bouquet must be hand-tied or simply structured so that it's beautiful, delicate, and simple.

Sheath and Column Dresses: The most minimalistic use of flowers is in a body-hugging, straight-cut dress. One kind of flower or an elegant hand-tied posy goes perfectly well in this case. 

Consider Your Venue and Wedding Theme

Your flowers should speak to the style and vibe of the venue you are choosing. Example: An elaborate large showy flowered bouquet may stand in well for a wedding at a grand ballroom, while a simple natural bouquet of wildflowers may shine so beautifully for that barn wedding.

Final Thoughts

Wedding flowers should always be chosen according to full consideration of the general harmonization between your dress, venue, and mood that you want to be experienced on the special day. Thus, it reflects your style and highlights the elegance of your wedding gown by adding meaning to your wedding. Even on aspects like style, color, or shape, the selection of a flower bouquet for your gown will be wisely done to ensure that the general bridal look is not compromised. Happy planning and enjoy making your wedding the stuff of dreams!

"what if they actually had to sew it together on top of her?? Pearls on the veil or tiara??" - yes!!! Pearls everywhere!!! In the dress, on the veil, and the tiara holding the veil, and in Skipper's hair!!! And I've been thing some more again, and what if her bouquet was made of the shells and pearls too? Maybe they string them up on some wires, making them look like petals and they arrange them as if they were flowers? Each having a pearl center? Or just pearls scattered in between each "flower"?

Okay, I could help myself, so

I’m thinking like a combo of these for the dress. I think where Mandy would have been very chic and glamorous, Skipper is very boho and simple. I think one of Jake’s older sisters is a seamstress and actually designs clothes, so takes it upon herself to custom create Skipper’s wedding dress.

The hair and the “shoes”

Veil and bouquet!!

Also, have these because I think they’re cool

Little Did I Know

Chapter 12: The Wedding

Masterlist | LDIK Masterlist

Word count: 3k

Warnings: Some violence. tiny bit of angst. sorry in advance to leave it this way

The day of the wedding had arrived and Aelin was a bundle of nerves. It was unusual for her to be so affected by being in front of a crowd but this day was different. She was marrying Rowan, who she had come to realize just might be the love of her life. And it was that realization that put her in a new predicament. 

She hadn’t gotten to really talk to him about their almost-kisses. The rehearsal was so frantic and formal that they weren’t able to get a moment to themselves. Sure, she could’ve snuck out to his room but her anxiety over the next day held her back.

Could she really make Rowan marry her when he deserved so much more? He deserved to choose his fate, not be tied to an arranged marriage. She found out so much about him the past few months. How he was an amazing friend. How he was extremely competitive, but even moreso with her, it seemed. How gentle and kind and caring he was with the people around him. It was a stark contrast with how she felt about him when they had first met. If Aelin was being honest with herself, Rowan was probably one of the most selfless and incredible people she ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was lucky to have him.

She stood in front of the mirror, Lysandra putting the finishing touches on her wedding gown and hair. The dress was flowy and gauzy, looking as if it came straight from a fairytale. The off-the-shoulder sleeves hung low against her arms, creating a boho style that complimented her free-flowing locks of golden hair. Lysandra chose to do her makeup lightly, Aelin’s natural beauty enhanced by some golden touches here and there. And, of course, the final touches were her mother’s emerald earrings and matching tiara, her most prized pieces of jewelry. Emeralds represented Terrasen, not only because they were the colors of her country, but also because Queen Evalin adored them. She gifted this particular set on Aelin’s ninth birthday, just one year before her mother and father died.

“You look beautiful, Aelin,” Lysandra whispered. “The very vision of a Queen on her wedding day.” Aelin blushed but couldn’t help but agree. Though her insides were in turmoil, her outward appearance made Aelin look regal.

Elide, standing to her left, handed her the bouquet of flowers, the normal white roses mixed in with orange kingsflame, her favorite. Aelin gratefully accepted the bouquet while both Lysandra and Elide picked up their own bouquets of white roses and greens. Both were resplendent in their dark green gowns, looking every ounce the beautiful ladies they were. 

It was like everything had passed in the blink of an eye. One moment, Aelin was standing in front of the mirror, the next she was watching the back of Lysandra as she made her way to the aisle. Aelin stayed just out of sight of the crowd but she had a nice vantage point. There were so many people. But that wasn’t what took her breath away. No, that honor belonged to the beautiful man at the end of the aisle, dressed in a tuxedo of the darkest grey with green accents. She knew already that the color would match his emerald eyes, the same eyes she had come to know better than the back of her hand. 

The violins swelled and Aelin took that as her cue. She was walking herself down the aisle. No man or lord of Terrasen could hold that honor in replacement of her parents. So she would be the strong queen she was and give herself away. The first few steps were easy. She barely even noticed the crowd. The next few…not so much. The moment she met the green eyes down the aisle, Aelin’s heart started beating erratically, overcome with so much joy and love. 

Love. 

Yes, for indeed, that was what she was feeling. She loved Rowan. Probably more than she loved anyone ever before. Not like this. The thought had her feet slowing of their own volition. 

It was for that very reason that she couldn’t make him do this. He deserved to feel how she felt now. He deserved to have a love that obliterated his soul and rebuilt him better and stronger. Just like he’d done for her. If the lords hadn’t forced their way into her and Rowan’s lives, then he wouldn’t have had to marry her just because he was told to.

She knew Rowan was looking at her with concern when her feet came to a complete stop. Aelin felt hot. Her breaths were coming in too fast and she could feel a line of sweat rolling down her spine. The walls were closing in and her vision was going fuzzy at the edges. Distantly, she could see Rowan stepping down from the raised dais but she had to get out of there and go somewhere where she could breathe. 

So she ran. 

Her condition didn’t allow her to run far but the distant shouts followed her all the way to the courtyard right outside of the palace. She knelt on the brick patio, not caring if her dress was ruined. She had to get herself together. For the good of the kingdom. 

Hurried footsteps sounded from behind her and she assumed it would be Lysandra or Elide. Or maybe Darrow coming to yell at her to get her ass into the throne room and get married. But as the footsteps slowed, a familiar and comforting pine and snow scent washed over her. A warm, callused hand gently touched her back, rubbing small lines down her spine. 

“Fireheart,” Rowan whispered. His other hand gravitated toward her chin, pulling gently so that he could look into her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Aelin just shook her head, tears running down her face. Lysandra would be pissed if her makeup was ruined but she could deal with it. 

“Please, Aelin. Talk to me. Don’t shut me out.”

Aelin sighed and gathered herself as best she could. “I can’t…I can’t make you do this.”

“Aelin–” he was shaking his head.

“No, let me finish.” She wiped at her eyes and then took the hand that was holding her chin. “You deserve everything, Rowan. We didn’t get along first but now…You are one of the most selfless people I know.  You did this because your queen commanded you to. And then when she was gone, you did this because I’d lose my throne if you didn’t. And you did that because you’re selfless and you’re good. So I’m trying to be selfless now and set you free. You don’t have to do this just because someone ordered you to. You deserve so much more than an arranged marriage. You deserve to go out there and find the love of your life and do it because you want to do it, not because someone told you to. I will not be that kind of queen.” 

Rowan looked shocked. His mouth was hanging open slightly, his brows furrowed. Aelin could tell he was at a loss for words. “You deserve to be able to have that happily ever after with Lyria if you want to.” Aelin knew her smile didn’t reach her eyes; it felt forced. She felt an undeniable pang in her heart as she spoke the words. But she was being selfless. This was what was best for Rowan. But she also thought about herself. Not, of course, that she didn’t want to marry Rowan because she did. But rather, she thought about the good of her kingdom and the severity of her future as queen. “And I deserve to be able to rule without a husband by my side.” 

Rowan shook his head, still tense. “But your throne…”

“I think it’s about time I marched in there and showed the lords of Terrasen what a queen really looks like, don’t you think? If I don’t do this now, who’s to say that they’ll ever listen to me? Today sets a precedent. I am the queen that I want to be, that my mother wanted me to be. And it’s about time the lords understood that.”

At her little speech, a smile finally made its way to Rowan’s face. His hand cupped her cheek as his thumb brushed away lingering tears, though she could tell a few of his own tears were starting to form. “My brave, beautiful Fireheart.” 

Aelin placed her hand over his own, leaning her face into it and basking in what might be the last time that he touched her like this. 

His voice was hoarse when he spoke again, much more serious than the minute before. “If this is truly what you want, then I’ll be by your side. Always and to whatever end.” 

Aelin felt teary again as she looked up into his eyes, the warmth in them mixed with the longing in her own hitting her like a brick. “To whatever end.” 

Rowan got up and offered her his hand. He helped her to brush off her gown, making sure she looked every inch the queen that she was. “Ready, Fireheart?” 

“Ready,” she whispered back. 

As they got to the doors, Aelin stopped Rowan and took a deep breath. “I have to walk in there alone.” 

Rowan nodded. “That may be the case, but I’ll be here every step of the way.” He placed a hand over his heart.

He started walking away but Aelin stopped him before he could get too far. “Rowan.”

He turned, concern etching over his features. She walked up to him slowly, placing both of her hands on either side of his cheeks. Gently, she stood on her tiptoes, bringing her lips to his in a quick peck. The only kiss she would ever get from him. “Thank you,” she whispered. 

He blinked slowly, as if in a haze, and Aelin took that opportunity to turn toward the grand doors, steeling herself for what might be the greatest battle of her life. She had given up on fighting the lords but now, she had something to fight for: not only her freedom, but Rowan’s as well. And for him, she would do anything.

Aelin confidently made her way down the aisle once the doors were opened. The violinist and pianist struggled to keep up with her brisk pace. Good, she didn’t want fanfare for what she had to do anyway. 

Almost every person in the room had a bewildered look on their face. All except one. She saw a familiar head of silver hair sneak in through the side door, standing by one of the columns to her right. As she met his eyes, he gave her a soft smile and an encouraging nod.

Aelin took a deep breath and began. 

“I know you all were expecting a wedding. So I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news when I say that there won’t be one.” As she spoke, she met each of the lords’ eyes, trying to convey both her authority and regality. “My mother and father believed in marrying for love. Though they both were royal blood, my mother always said that she would’ve chosen my father in every life, no matter his status. They were lucky to have such a strong, unyielding bond and I miss them every day. But that’s not the point here. The point is that she also raised me to be strong and independent on my own, without a husband. No matter how I may feel about a potential spouse, I should be able to rule without one. My uncle was never forced to marry to assume the throne nor was he forced to produce heirs.” She gave a pointed look at Darrow.

 “I would say it’s quite sexist to assume that I will do any less of a job simply because I am a woman. Terrasen is my home. It’s my greatest love and my greatest honor. No one will fight harder for Terrasen than I will.” She paused, catching her breath and once again looking to each of the lords. “So I am asking you, lords of Terrasen. I am asking you to change the law. See what I have done for Terrasen already, all that I have given, and know that I will continue to give all that I am until my dying breath. Allow both myself and future rulers to choose their fates without the pressure to get married or produce an heir. Allow Prince Rowan to be able to walk his own path that no ruler set out before him.”

Aelin stopped after that. What more could she say? She would not be reduced to begging. 

To her surprise, the oldest of the lords, Lord Gunnar, arose and began to speak. “I have heard you, Aelin of the Wildfire, and I commend you for your bravery and honesty. I’ve been alive for a very long time and it is true that we have never held a ruler to such standards as we are now. My deceased wife would be smacking me with her cane if she knew that I held back such a wonderful and intelligent young woman from ruling simply because she does not have a husband. I say it’s time for Terrasen to change.” Aelin’s heart was beating so rapidly that she wasn’t sure if it was still beating or if it had stopped in her chest. “I make a motion to repeal the law that says any ruler must be married by age twenty-one. Does anyone second that motion?”

An unsettling silence like nothing Aelin ever heard settled over the grand ballroom. 

Darrow was the next to rise, one hand raised and one over his heart. “I will second that motion.” And after that, one by one, the lords of Terrasen arose to reign in a new era, beginning with herself. 

She couldn’t help but let a few tears fall as she looked over the crowd. Once again, she met Rowan’s eyes, which also were wet and glowing with pride. 

“This is blasphemy!” A voice cried out. Lord Hamel rose from his seat, hand resting on the sword that hung at his side. “We’re changing the law for an inexperienced wretch who has proven time and time again that she is incapable of handling this kingdom. Just look at what happened a few weeks ago in the woods. If she can’t defend herself, how can we expect her to defend Terrasen?” 

Arobynn’s assistant stood next to him, as well, and Aelin did nothing as she assessed the situation. Her eyes went from Arobynn’s silvery eyes, to his burning fire of hair, to the hand he had draped casually on his sword, ready to strike her down if needed. He was close enough to do so, she realized. Her attention drifted to his assistant, who looked at her with fiery hatred, and lastly, her gaze went to his boots. Boots that she recognized. Brown leather, worn yet polished and splattered with mud residue. 

Aelin tried to hide her surprise but she couldn’t help her brows furrowing and her eyes widening as she realized who this man was. It was never Maeve that was trying to have her killed, it was Arobynn. He had sent the rider after her that night, knocking her unconscious and almost killing her in the process. 

“You…you were the one who attacked me.” Aelin was breathing heavily. 

Her panicked eyes went to Rowan. Her first mistake. He looked as concerned as she did, though he hadn’t put the pieces together yet. He started toward Arobynn, hoping to catch him, but during the brief time she looked away, Arobynn lunged, holding her in a tight chokehold, almost but not quite cutting off her airway. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, and certainly couldn’t speak.

“I was supposed to be king! We deserve a true Terrasenian on the throne, not some whore who married a foreigner.” His hand grabbed her cheek roughly and he forced his mouth  toward her ear. “You were supposed to die that night. Such a tragic death, a young woman who already lost her parents and her uncle. But it would’ve paved the way for me to rule Terrasen the way it was meant to be ruled.” 

Aelin shoved her terror down, burrowing into her calm as best she could. She could get out of this position, she had done so a few weeks prior when sparring with Rowan, who now was close enough that he could take Arobynn down after she escaped. With ease, she dropped her legs out from under her, the breath whooshing out of her lungs as Arobynn’s hold tightened on her throat. But the drop had the intended effect, knocking Arobynn off balance and allowing Aelin to forcefully maneuver her way out of his hold. 

As soon as she was clear, Rowan swept in, holding Arobynn by the arm and twisting until he was laying on the ground. Guards rushed past, subduing the red-haired traitor and allowing Rowan to check on her. 

He grabbed her cheeks gently, bringing his forehead to hers. “Fireheart,” he whispered. A shaky breath left him before he enveloped her in an embrace. She could feel her lips quivering, the shock and fear finally catching up to her. He held her tight and allowed her to bury her face into his chest until she gathered herself once more, ready to face her kingdom. 

She wasn’t sure how long they stayed there but eventually, she was pulled away from Rowan by the lords and her ladies to attend to official business. She found out from the lords that Arobynn would be put in the cells beneath the castle until his trial in a few weeks, where he hopefully would be convicted and left to rot. Her coronation was to be scheduled in less than a month, right after she turned 21. And Rowan…Rowan would most likely go back to his rooms and start packing for the journey back to Doranelle. 

She had won today. Getting the old, cranky lords to change the laws to the benefit of both the kingdom and future rulers was no small feat. But if that were the case, why did it feel like she had lost so much?

A/N: I know, I'm leaving you guys hanging! But hopefully I'll be able to get the last chapter and epilogue out next weekend. I'm sure they'll be totally fine ;)

Make a Bold Statement: Black Wedding Dresses in Rochester, NY 🖤👰‍♀️

White might be traditional, but bold is unforgettable. If you're a bride who craves something different—something that turns heads and captures hearts—then a black wedding dress might be exactly what you're looking for. 🖤

At Heart to Heart Bride in Rochester, NY, we celebrate individuality, drama, and elegance. And for brides ready to ditch the rulebook, our curated collection of black wedding dresses is here to inspire and empower you to say "I do" your way.

🖤 Black Is the New Bridal: Why This Color Speaks Volumes

Black isn't just a color—it's an attitude, a mood, and a statement. In the world of bridal fashion, it's redefining what it means to be a modern bride. Whether you're planning a whimsical forest wedding, a glamorous black-tie affair, or something totally out-of-the-box, black brings depth, richness, and sophistication to your big day. 💫

👗 Unexpected Beauty: The Magic of Black Wedding Dresses

Why are so many brides in Rochester choosing black wedding dresses? Let’s dive into the reasons behind the trend that’s taking the bridal world by storm:

💃 Effortless Elegance

There’s something undeniably regal about black. The rich hue photographs beautifully and complements every skin tone. Whether you choose silk, lace, tulle, or velvet, black exudes luxury.

✨ Express Your Authentic Style

Not every bride dreams of white. Choosing black allows you to embrace your personal style—edgy, romantic, dramatic, or all of the above.

🌟 Universally Flattering

Black is known for its slimming, elongating effect. It enhances your natural beauty and offers stunning silhouettes, from sleek mermaids to full ballgowns.

💍 From Vintage to Modern: Styles for Every Vibe

Our collection of black wedding dresses in Rochester features something for every bride:

Gothic Glam – Think corsets, lace sleeves, and dark romance 🌒

Modern Chic – Sleek lines, minimalist designs, and open backs 🖤

Boho Edge – Layered skirts, floral lace, and earthy undertones 🌿

Classic with a Twist – Traditional shapes with black lace or underlay 🎀

You’re not limited by one look—black offers endless styling possibilities that are as timeless or trendy as you want them to be.

💒 Discover the Dress of Your Dreams at Heart to Heart Bride

Located right in Rochester, NY, Heart to Heart Bride is your local destination for unforgettable black wedding dresses. Our warm, welcoming boutique is designed to give you the best dress-shopping experience imaginable.

Our stylists work one-on-one with you to understand your vision and guide you toward the gown that makes you feel stunning from head to toe. 👑

🎨 Styling Ideas: Take Your Look to the Next Level

Your black wedding dress is a blank canvas for some seriously creative styling. Here’s how to elevate your entire bridal ensemble:

🌹 Flowers that Pop

Pair your dress with moody bouquets—deep red roses, calla lilies, white orchids, or rich greenery for contrast.

✨ Accessories That Shine

Gold, silver, or gemstone jewelry will dazzle against black. Add a beaded veil, a dramatic cape, or celestial hairpieces for next-level bridal magic.

💄 Beauty with Boldness

Don’t shy away from glam. A bold lip, smoky eye, or dramatic liner will complete your fierce bridal look. Or, go ethereal with soft tones and glowing skin.

📸 Real Rochester Brides Who Rocked Black

We’ve styled countless brides who walked down the aisle in black—and they owned it. From elegant ballroom receptions to moody outdoor ceremonies, these brides stood tall, proud, and stylish in their black gowns.

What did they say afterward? “Wearing black made me feel powerful, elegant, and completely myself.” 🖤💬

🛑 Still Unsure? Let’s Bust the Myths!

Some people still raise eyebrows at black bridal gowns—but we’re here to set the record straight:

“Black isn’t bridal.” Bridal is what you make it. If you feel beautiful in it, that’s all that matters.

“It’s too dark for a wedding.” Weddings are about love, not color codes. Black adds drama, elegance, and romance—not gloom.

“It’ll look too gothic.” Only if you want it to. Black dresses range from light and whimsical to bold and moody.

📅 Ready to Find Your Dream Dress?

Your wedding day should reflect who you are—not just what tradition dictates. If you’re ready to explore the world of black wedding dresses, Heart to Heart Bride in Rochester, NY is here for you.

Whether you're all in on black or just considering a hint of it, our team will make your dress journey personal, empowering, and unforgettable. 💖

If you’re looking to truly make a statement at your wedding, don’t just focus on the big details. Sometimes, it’s the little touches that make all the difference in creating a memorable experience. Whether you’re planning an extravagant celebration or an intimate gathering, incorporating creative wedding ideas can elevate your special day in unexpected ways. From unique décor to personalized favors, here are some inspiring ideas to make your wedding truly unforgettable. Incorporating creative wedding ideas is the key to making your special day hard to forget. Thoughtful, unexpected details can elevate the atmosphere, leaving a lasting impression on your guests. Whether it’s through personalized touches, unique entertainment, or interactive elements, creativity transforms a wedding from simply beautiful to truly extraordinary. By thinking outside the box, you can craft a celebration that not only reflects your personality but also creates cherished moments for everyone involved. Check out fun, creative ideas to make your wedding truly memorable… #1. Embrace wedding favors Photo: Pixabay/Pexels The tradition of giving wedding favors as a token of appreciation for guests has stood the test of time. In modern weddings, chocolates are a common choice, often placed at each guest’s seat as a small yet thoughtful gesture. However, those who played a significant role in the wedding—such as bridesmaids, groomsmen, and the parents of the couple—typically receive a more personalized or luxurious gift. Consider splashing out a little extra on your wedding favors to make them truly memorable. While chocolates are a classic option, unique or personalized gifts can leave a lasting impression and show just how much you appreciate your guests’ presence. Thoughtfully curated favors designed for each guest can enhance their experience, making them feel appreciated. #2. Use creative wedding invites Photo: Din Aziz/Pexels Adding a personal touch to your wedding invites will make a world of difference in how your guests feel about attending your special day. If you have a particular theme planned for your wedding, matching your invitations to reflect it is a wonderful way to give guests a preview of what to expect. With so many styles to choose from, you can make a lasting impression right from the moment they receive your invite. One of the most creative wedding ideas is to handwrite your invitations yourself—this adds a deeply personal touch, especially if your guests recognize your handwriting. Alternatively, you could hire a calligrapher to craft beautifully written invitations. If you choose this route, consider pre-writing personal messages for each guest to make them feel truly valued. Small, thoughtful details like these set the tone for a memorable and heartfelt celebration. #3. Use artificial flowers Photo: Asad Photo Maldives/Pexels Real flowers can be quite expensive, especially when decorating an entire venue, arranging bouquets, and handling all the floral details. That’s where high-quality fake wedding flowers come in. These days, they look so realistic and elegant that they are nearly indistinguishable from fresh blooms. Plus, they offer creative possibilities beyond traditional arrangements. Imagine boutonnieres that remain perfect long after the wedding, floral centerpieces that double as keepsakes, or vibrant decorations that add pops of color and won’t wilt before the ceremony ends. You can even incorporate them into your hairstyle for a boho-chic touch—an effortlessly stylish trend that’s been gaining popularity. With artificial flowers, you get lasting beauty, endless color options, and a cost-effective way to enhance your wedding décor. #4. Consider an intriguing reception entrance Photo: Sukanya Panukorn/Pintrest Going big for your reception entrance can set the tone for the entire evening, creating an unforgettable moment for both you and your guests. This doesn’t mean you need an extravagant prosecco-shooting ice fountain (though, how incredible would that be?). Instead, focus on adding unexpected, creative touches to your entrance area. Perhaps eye-catching canvases featuring special moments from your relationship or unique décor that reflects your personality. Beyond the setting, think about how you and your partner will make your big entrance. Will you walk into a song that holds sentimental value, or would you rather surprise your guests with something humorous and unexpected? You might even choreograph a fun routine or incorporate an element of surprise to make the moment extra special. There are endless ways to make a statement—so embrace the opportunity to make your reception entrance truly your own! #5. Don’t ignore thoughtful goodbyes Photo: IPGGutenbergukltd/istock How you choose to leave your wedding as a newly married couple brings endless possibilities for creativity. A common tradition is decorating a car with ‘Just Married’ signs and attaching items that create noise as you drive away, ensuring all eyes are on you. But if you’re looking for creative wedding ideas that truly reflect your personalities, why not switch things up? Instead of the classic getaway, consider a departure that captures your special relationship as a couple. Rather than the groom whisking his bride away, you could add a touch of humor—perhaps the bride playfully “dragging” the groom off as if she’s the one taking charge. You could even take it a step further by using a quirky mode of transport, like a small decorated vehicle styled as a pushchair for the groom, symbolizing the start of your new family journey. The possibilities are endless, so make your exit as memorable as the rest of your big day. If you’re stuck for ideas on how to make a dramatic exit from your wedding, get creative and search the internet for inspiration, or ask close friends for their opinions. There are countless fun, creative wedding ideas that can make your send-off unforgettable, whether it’s a sparkler tunnel, a vintage car getaway, or even a themed farewell that ties into your love story. Ultimately, your wedding should represent you and your partner, so make it as personal and unique as possible.

If you have a particular theme planned for your wedding, matching your invitations to reflect it is a wonderful way to give guests a preview of what to expect. With so many styles to choose from, you can make a lasting impression right from the moment they receive your invite. One of the most creative wedding ideas is to handwrite your invitations yourself—this adds a deeply personal touch, especially if your guests recognize your handwriting. Alternatively, you could hire a calligrapher to craft beautifully written invitations. If you choose this route, consider pre-writing personal messages for each guest to make them feel truly valued. Small, thoughtful details like these set the tone for a memorable and heartfelt celebration. #3. Use artificial flowers Photo: Asad Photo Maldives/Pexels Real flowers can be quite expensive, especially when decorating an entire venue, arranging bouquets, and handling all the floral details. That’s where high-quality fake wedding flowers come in. These days, they look so realistic and elegant that they are nearly indistinguishable from fresh blooms. Plus, they offer creative possibilities beyond traditional arrangements. Imagine boutonnieres that remain perfect long after the wedding, floral centerpieces that double as keepsakes, or vibrant decorations that add pops of color and won’t wilt before the ceremony ends. You can even incorporate them into your hairstyle for a boho-chic touch—an effortlessly stylish trend that’s been gaining popularity. With artificial flowers, you get lasting beauty, endless color options, and a cost-effective way to enhance your wedding décor. #4. Consider an intriguing reception entrance Photo: Sukanya Panukorn/Pintrest Going big for your reception entrance can set the tone for the entire evening, creating an unforgettable moment for both you and your guests. This doesn’t mean you need an extravagant prosecco-shooting ice fountain (though, how incredible would that be?). Instead, focus on adding unexpected, creative touches to your entrance area. Perhaps eye-catching canvases featuring special moments from your relationship or unique décor that reflects your personality. Beyond the setting, think about how you and your partner will make your big entrance. Will you walk into a song that holds sentimental value, or would you rather surprise your guests with something humorous and unexpected? You might even choreograph a fun routine or incorporate an element of surprise to make the moment extra special. There are endless ways to make a statement—so embrace the opportunity to make your reception entrance truly your own! #5. Don’t ignore thoughtful goodbyes Photo: IPGGutenbergukltd/istock How you choose to leave your wedding as a newly married couple brings endless possibilities for creativity. A common tradition is decorating a car with ‘Just Married’ signs and attaching items that create noise as you drive away, ensuring all eyes are on you. But if you’re looking for creative wedding ideas that truly reflect your personalities, why not switch things up? Instead of the classic getaway, consider a departure that captures your special relationship as a couple. Rather than the groom whisking his bride away, you could add a touch of humor—perhaps the bride playfully “dragging” the groom off as if she’s the one taking charge. You could even take it a step further by using a quirky mode of transport, like a small decorated vehicle styled as a pushchair for the groom, symbolizing the start of your new family journey. The possibilities are endless, so make your exit as memorable as the rest of your big day. If you’re stuck for ideas on how to make a dramatic exit from your wedding, get creative and search the internet for inspiration, or ask close friends for their opinions. There are countless fun, creative wedding ideas that can make your send-off unforgettable, whether it’s a sparkler tunnel, a vintage car getaway, or even a themed farewell that ties into your love story. Ultimately, your wedding should represent you and your partner, so make it as personal and unique as possible.
