We’re leaving you this week with a stunning fairy-inspired wedding concept project by Tricia Fountaine, Tricia Fountaine Design: it is the most unbelievably perfect ending to our impromptu week of theatrical woodland whimsy.

We received the submission from Shirley Lo-Cadotte, Double Happiness Events, who worked on the project with its designer before leaving California for her new home in Toronto and we love that it showcases not only the incredible creative power Tricia is capable of, but also how her love of the Faerie world has led to such an amazing and tangible result.

The final photographs are so inspiring, whether you have a soft spot for woodsy sprites and magic dust or not, because they show that anything is possible when it comes to a wedding’s design. We also love that this super fun shoot is made of almost entirely handmade items, from the invitation to the clothes, the moss-covered chandelier to the unbelievably gauzy, gorgeous wings, and the fabulous rings. While you may no want to re-create this magical day detail by detail, we like inspiration can come from a single element of it, or used to springboard to new ideas from; the brilliantly coloured cushions on the stump seats and the wedding party’s lanterns are both super ideas that could be incorporated into many events, and many themes for that matter.
