If you are a city couple at heart and adore wide raw spaces with exposed brick, an urban industrial wedding is for you. Get inspired by these lit ideas for your decor and even your dress. The most fab thing about these spaces is that they can marry any wedding theme you can dream of: vintage, organic, glam, classic, rustic or boho. They all exude this fine vibe filled with the finesse you want for your special day.

An industrial wedding is a great theme for non-traditional and unconventional couples who feel that raw spaces, like basements or unique venues, represent them best. Refurbished factories with exposed brick, straight lines, old pipes, earthy and moody color palettes are at the core of the urban industrial wedding. Decorate these spaces with easy finds and affordable materials. Steal these decor ideas that are taking over hunty and rock the industrial wedding vibe in style!

Choosing your Color Palette

The beauty of an industrial space is that it lends itself to any color palette and it makes it truly memorable. Consider the effect you would like to achieve. Boho brides may add whimsical and vibrant pops of color, go for pale blues or neutrals like ivory of gray for a more vintage look, or glamify with metallics. Choose a dark moody color palette for a downright impressive venue decor.

Spectacular Decor for an Urban Industrial Wedding

These raw spaces are non-traditional and unique. Many of them are factories, power stations, old churches, or even lofts with ample and open spaces that can look cold yet sober. They are a total declaration of independence from traditions that allow us to create spectacular effects and dramatic decorations. For example, the The Fermenting Cellar in Toronto, ON is an ideal setting for an industrial wedding.

The contrast of the hanging chandelier against the galvanized columns and the exposed cement bricks is worthy of the most sophisticated industrial weddings. The flowy pale blue table runner adds a touch of softness to the stark beauty of this old distillery.

The Exact Details for the Perfect Urban Industrial Wedding

An industrial wedding often seems undone and unstructured, but it is the exact opposite. For this wedding style, the details are of extreme importance and each corner and space must be well thought out and impeccably executed.

Wood, wrought iron, and cement are amongst the most used materials at an industrial wedding. Think construction materials from home improvement and supply stores. Another good source of decorations for these weddings are antique shops and flea markets that often feature furniture, art and metallic knick-knacks. All the perfect addition to the most on point details for an original, modern and urban industrial wedding decor.
