May 10 Dark & Moody | A Styled Photoshoot

Dark & Moody Wedding Inspiration in Casa di Fiori through the eyes of the Groom

Dare to defy soft, neutral color palates by incorporating rich, bold hues into your wedding.

Seeing a wedding cake covered in black fondant while scrolling through Pinterest is what first inspired us to design this set. Of the hundreds of custom cakes our in-house La Terra Bakery has created for our LV couples, no one has ever requested a black cake. It was just so dramatic and sexy. We developed a color palate of navy, burgundy, gold and black and put the experts to work. We wanted to show a wedding day through the eyes of a groom, from his straight razor shave in Destinations to all of his favorites at the custom Scotch and Cigar bar. Our team of vendor friends and in-house talents executed our vision of a dark and moody wedding reception perfectly.

We hope this post inspires you to think outside the box,

Be Unique,

Be Daring,

Be Bold!

The Billiards Room

Located on the lower level of the Lancaster House at The Inn, the Billiards Room is the perfect spot for the groom and his groomsmen to gather prior to the ceremony for lunch and photos.

The Venue

Casa di Fiori accomodates up to 250 guests and has a perfect neutral color palate to blend with every vision. All floral accents shown in the photos below were created by Village Floral, the linens were provided by Special Occasions and Queen Street Linens in Lancaster and the beautiful custom sign shown behind the sweetheart table was made by Chit Chat Designs.

The Flowers

Village Floral is the exclusive florist at The Inn. Everything is created on-site. The bouquets and boutonnieres are hand delivered to the wedding party and every centerpiece and floral design element is personally positioned by our florist.

The Cake

In keeping with our full-service venue, La Terra Bakery is also located here at The Inn. The exquisite creations of our in-house pastry team are exclusively available to events occurring at The Inn at Leola Village. The custom cake and bite-sized pastries are only a few examples of the endless possibilities.

Scotch & Cigar Bar

Each couple hand picks what they would like to offer at the scotch and cigar bar. We have a large selection available from our on-site Osteria Bar & Lounge and can special order most requests. You may offer this during your reception or save it for the fire pit after party!
