Inspired by gothic architecture, classic literature, old universities, and vintage aesthetics, dark academia weddings have become the most beloved alternative wedding styles for couples seeking something atmospheric, emotional, and deeply personal.

What is Dark Academia?
There is something undeniably romantic about candlelit libraries, handwritten letters, antique gold frames, and velvet bound poetry collection.
Imagine the deep and moody hues of an old world library or study. Candlelit ambiance and books as far as the eye can see. For couples who love to read and want to be enveloped in romance.

Color Palette
Capturing the dark academia vibe is all about combining the old and the new in thoughtful and charming ways. Think velvet fabrics in forest green, deep navy, or burgundy paired with rich wood tones, gold, or brass.
Venue Inspiration
Bricks, arches, and climbing ivy are all key details to look for when selecting a venue for this wedding. Check with your city- sometimes localities have historic buildings with that perfect old world charm available to events.
