Georgia State Railroad Museum Wedding

Sarah Biggers (27 and the founder and CEO of Clove + Hallow) and Tucker Stewart (26 and an operations manager) do things their own way, and their wedding is proof of that. “We broke tradition in many ways,” Sarah says. “We called it our modern gothic bohemian fairy tale—what a mouthful.” From Sarah’s black diamond engagement ring and the matching moody color palette to the mix of traditions (Jewish for Sarah, Scottish for Tucker), the pair kept things personal. Even the cakes, one in black and the other in tartan, represented the pair’s two identities. 
Moody was the name of the game when it came to design. “We prefer a darker aesthetic,” Sarah says. “We focused on angular edges, candlelight and lush arrangements of greenery and roses.” Not only did the newlyweds grab slices from their two cakes, but they also satisfied their sweet tooth with mini doughnuts, cake pops and fondue. “Of course, we had to have the ultimate dessert of champions: champagne,” Sarah says.
Sarah and Tucker headed off amid a cloud of black smoke, set off with the help of their own smoke bombs. For an extra fun touch, Sarah topped her gown with a Viking hat. “I grabbed it from the photo booth and just wore it all night,” she says. A neon sign bearing the couple’s married name offset the dark, bohemian vibe of the candles and blooms. “Seeing that bright neon next to all of our greenery was particularly mesmerizing,” Sarah says.
