A Real Wedding in the Gothic Corridor
What began as a styled shoot to capture the elegance of a moody, 1920s-themed wedding quickly turned into something far more meaningful. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Gothic Corridor at St. Louis Union Station, what was once a day of creative collaboration transformed into a real-life love story—when the couple modeling for the shoot decided to make it official and say I do on the spot.
Gothic-Inspired Wedding Stationery with a 1920s Twist
When designing the stationery suite, I wanted it to reflect the drama and elegance of both the venue’s gothic architecture and the bold spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The result was a custom collection of invitations, menus, place cards, and ceremony programs infused with deep, moody tones and bold Art Deco-inspired typography. Every detail—from the layered textures to the luxe finishes—was meant to feel like it belonged in a candlelit cathedral or a speakeasy lounge.
Bringing the Vision to Life Through Custom Wedding Stationery
This shoot-turned-wedding was a dream to be a part of. From the breathtaking setting to the intentional details layered throughout the design, every element played a part in bringing vintage romance to life. I was honored to create custom wedding stationery that tied the entire vision together and helped set the tone for this unexpected celebration.
A Dream Team of Vendors
This incredible transformation from styled shoot to real wedding wouldn’t have been possible without the creative talents of so many amazing vendors. From the lush florals and decadent cake to the vintage-inspired wardrobe and curated rentals, each piece brought this dramatic 1920s vision to life.
