Vinyl-shaped bottle opener magnets with our names and date were used for favours. We also had cocktail toppers and black napkins with kissing skeletons – pure rock ‘n’ roll!

One of our friends is in a band, so we asked them to play two live sets. They even learned a few songs just for us, including our first dance! The vibe was all funk and disco, and everyone was more than ready to hit the dancefloor. For our mini-moon, we went to a metal festival in France where I wore a white wedding dress. Since I got married in black, it felt right to switch it up. Everyone else was in black, so it stood out, and getting congrats from strangers all weekend was the cherry on top. Electrowerkz let us raid their prop-filled storage room, and we went all in – digging up everything from skulls and melted candles to a giant monster mask. That became the foundation for our décor, with fairylights tying it all together. A wall of vintage speakers and amps made the perfect photobooth backdrop, and our graphic designer friend topped it off with a huge illustrated venue map featuring tiny dancing skeletons. We felt so happy and surrounded by love the entire day. 30
