A Rustic-Rock-Themed Wedding at the Vedahof

Not every couple thinks of horse-drawn carriages, castles, and waltzes when they hear the phrase “dream wedding.” Some couples prefer a more rock-and-roll, rustic vibe. The following wedding inspiration is intended for all those couples.

We accompany the bride and groom to the Vedahof in Gramastetten, Upper Austria. This versatile venue is perfect for wedding concepts that blend rock ’n’ roll with understated elegance—weddings where the bride wears Doc Martens instead of stilettos and her veil gives way to a leather jacket.

The wedding design reflects this theme as well. You can practically imagine the Rolling Stones playing in the background during the planning. After all, “I Want to Paint It Black” seems to have been the driving inspiration more than once. The black—from the stationery to the wedding candle, the table decorations, and the place settings—creates a rustic contrast, which is complemented by a touch of elegance thanks to skillfully placed gold accents.

The bride and groom also show a touch of nonconformity. The bride’s look features dark smoky eyes, and her sleeveless dress almost proudly displays her tattoos. The groom forgoes formal Oxfords, Derbys, or Bluchers and casually pairs his suit with sneakers—in black, of course.

It's a wedding concept that's tailored to the couple's personality—and that's exactly why it gets under your skin, just like tattoo ink.
