Timeless and Ethereal Wedding Inspiration at The Walper Hotel

Modern minimalism mixed with romantic touches of elegance and ethereal décor – at first, it’s hard to imagine how this design combination would look… but after seeing this shoot from Rainbow Chan Weddings & Events… we are completely in love. Top it all off with the dreamiest neutral palette and heavenly blooms by Sweet Woodruff and there you have it – the perfect recipe for a modern yet timeless wedding. Don’t miss out on all the fairytale-worthy details of this shoot captured by Artiese Studios at the full gallery!

From Rainbow Chan Weddings & EventsOur shoot at the Walper Hotel in Kitchener, Ontario combined modern minimalism with fairytale worthy décor elements to create a timeless, ethereal aesthetic. This hotel is truly unique – it encapsulates the charming “small town” feel of Kitchener with its traditional architecture dating back to 1893. However, the décor and style of the hotel isn’t what you’d expect from a century old building.

There is a distinctly midcentury modern feel to it – very minimalistic with clean lines and pops of colour. The finishes are extremely on-trend and updated. The mix of the classical architecture and ultra-modern finishes gives this venue a timeless feel – like it would fit seamlessly into more than one era.

The beautiful floral design by Sweet Woodruff takes the greenery-heavy trend to an extreme. The incredible arch is made entirely of wild greens is definitely non-traditional, but the organic, lush styling makes it feel whimsical and fairytale-esque. The white walls and mid-tone floors make this look feel entirely timeless. The gown from Blushing Bridal, bridal cape from Noon on the Moon and bouquet tie in seamlessly. Clean lines and versatile, minimalistic design mean that this look could work in any space and any era. 

The tablescape uses the same neutral tones and classic design, but incorporates some trendy elements like the two-tone flatware, knotted napkins and crystal chairs. The blush accents add a romantic and ethereal feel, which tie this tablescape into the theme. The cake display encapsulates this whole theme – clean lines with a pop of ethereal romanticism. We love creating romantic, beautiful looks that give a nod to tradition but feel up to date and cutting edge. The Walper Hotel provided a perfect backdrop for this aesthetic.
