Their elegant and refined wedding aesthetic perfectly portrayed their beautiful love story.

Here are some tips and ideas to help you plan the perfect editorial-inspired wedding:

Choose A Venue With Character

A focus of many editorial weddings is creating a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. To achieve this, you'll want to choose a venue that's full of character.

Originally built as an homage to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Paris, Morgan and Will’s wedding venue in Hickory Creek, Texas, The Olana, was grand.

This mansion estate has unique architectural details, such as marble floors and a gold-plated elevator. 

The property’s lush landscaping, indoor pool, and more can be seen in many of Morgan and Will’s wedding photos.

Shop For A Timeless Wedding Dress

While there are many elements that make up an editorial-inspired wedding, the dress is definitely a significant factor.

For a timeless and elegant bridal look, try on wedding dresses with clean lines, simple silhouettes, and luxurious fabrics.

Morgan’s bridal look was as classic as they come. Saying yes to ‘Essex’ by Allison Webb at Anna Bé Texas, this fit and flare wedding dress was perfect for their elegant estate wedding.

The straight fold over neckline is such as classic cut and detachable bridal bow added an element of whimsy.

Wear A Classic Wedding Veil

With such a timeless wedding gown, Morgan opted to go for something a little more modern when it came to the veil.

Picking ‘Julianne Veil’ by Sara Gabriel, the horsehair trim perfectly framed the gown’s fitted silhouette.

Embrace Creative Lighting

Besides the venue and the dress, one of the other biggest aspects of creating an editorial-inspired wedding day is the lighting. 

Creative lighting can transform any venue into a magical and romantic space. 

Couples planning an editorial-inspired wedding should consider using soft and warm lighting, such as candlelight to create a cozy environment.

Morgan and Will embraced creative lighting with glowing chandeliers, wedding sparklers, and more. Making their wedding day magical and romantic, they definitely achieved an elegant editorial wedding vibe.
