Gothic Wedding Decor and Styling at The Asylum Chapel

Stepping into the Asylum Chapel in London feels like entering another world. Its crumbling walls and ethereal stained-glass windows; it really was the perfect venue for a dark, and timeless eternal noir-themed shoot.Working alongside some of the best alternative wedding suppliers, we brought this vision to life, creating an atmosphere that was intimate and romantic.

The Perfect Gothic Wedding Venue

Situated in Peckham, the Asylum Chapel offers one of the best alternative wedding settings for couples who want that gothic, macabre vibe. It's for those who appreciate the beauty in the aged, the appeal of the unconventional, and the romance found in shadows - I shoulda been a poet!

An AMAZING Gothic Wedding Dress paired with an EXCEPTIONAL MUA

When it comes to turning heads on your wedding day, nothing says "I'm here to slay" quite like a black wedding dress. Designed by Beyond the Veil Boutique, this black wedding dress was a perfect blend of contemporary style and gothic allure.

Katie’s hair and make up for the model was flawless; Gigi looked drop-dead gorgeous! Plus Katie is one of the best people you’ll ever meet; super calm, and just wonderful!

Claire Owen Cakes nailed the brief yet again with this absolutely gorgeous cake perfect for that goth aesthetic without being a gothic cliche.

Gothic Wedding Decor that said NO to Halloween

We ditched the clichés for this one - no over-the-top skulls or endless candelabras - just a modern gothic wedding vibe where everything had a reason to be there.

The sweetheart table, we layered that up with black tablecloths to get that perfectly undone, ruffled look spilling onto the floor. Texture really was the name of the game as we wanted nothing to look flat against the black linens. So we mixed up glass, metal, ceramic, and stoneware for that effortless, thrown-together-but-still-stunning feel.And the fruit? All the deep red tones - pomegranate, cherries, grapes - scattered around like some kind of dark, romantic feast.

Books (because you can never have too many) added height, texture, and a little literary drama. Then there were Rosie’s handmade pieces—a tiny coffin, a clear skull, and napkin bands that pulled everything together in the best way.

And as you can see the Stationery made by Birdhouse works so so so so so well! RIGHT!?

An Amazing Florist makes all the Difference

We loved working with Axel Blooms. An exceptional florist that has a truly unique style. Super sculptural and didn’t shy away from going above and beyond, or afraid to try out something different.
