Minimalistic Wedding Setup
The wedding photography workshops by Vicky Baumann are always a highlight for us. Rarely does anyone manage to stage our rental items as well as they do. The interplay of wedding design, models, floristry and photography is breathtaking again this time.
The monochrome wedding setup was realized in Loft No. 6 in Cologne, which offers the perfect canvas for such a shoot due to its minimalist, industrial charm. Let yourself be inspired by this blog story and discover how well earthy and dark shades can fit into wedding designs.
Ghost Style Armrest Chairs in Focus
The wedding concept by Kristina Höfler from Bespoke Design and Pia Zimmermann from Perfect Plan attaches great importance to a warm, cosy atmosphere. At first glance, this may seem like a contrast to the cool color concept, but the use of earthy tones and lots of candlelight makes it a harmonious overall picture. The central aspect of the setup are the transparent Victoria Ghost chairs, which we offer for rent in our event rental. These leave enough space for the elaborately decorated dinner table to have an effect.
Candlelight brings warmth
The central element of the table is a dark runner that covers the entire length of the table and extends to the floor. In combination with the floor-length linen tablecloths in Macchiato Beige from our event rental, a harmonious basis for candles and floristry develops here. The colour concept, which is close to the grey tone spectrum, is continued in the tableware and cutlery.
Rent our table runners in other colours:
Elegant colour concept
White & gold are typical colors with which the term “wedding” is associated. Pia Zimmermann and Kristina Höfler, on the other hand, prove that you can also dare to have the courage to use darker tones. The cutlery in black is just as eye-catching as the napkins and the runner in dark grey.
Elaborate floristry with dried elements
Instead of a classic wedding arch, this wedding setup relies on an elaborate, floral structure – the perfect background for the wedding ceremony. The wedding bouquetry from Düsseldorf combined classic floristry with elements of dried flowers for this floral decoration. In terms of colour, the whole thing is set in light white and beige tones, which are broken up by the dark pampas grass.
Stylized stationery
The stationery color scheme fits perfectly with the rest of the setup – the abstract shapes in black and white are reminiscent of the style of the film noire. While the menu cards are kept white so as not to attract too much focus on the dinner table, the invitations inspire with rich, dark tones – definitely eye-catching and special.
Lightness in wedding dresses
The wedding dress by A.T. Moda Sposa looks almost weightless in these pictures. The dresses impress with elaborate embroidery and elegant appliqués that bring lightness to the appearance. In addition, there is the discreet make-up by make-up artist Nina Nolepa, which provides the last bit of perfection – making the pictures a real eye-catcher.
Beauty is in the details
You can see how much love this wedding setup has been designed with. Photographer Vicky Baumann finally managed to capture the entire beauty of this concept in her pictures. As part of this workshop, interested parties were able to learn from the trained eye of the wedding photographer.
Unique Cake
This wedding cake from Pennycakes inspires with its marbled coating and unique accessories. Especially the semi-transparent centerpiece attracts attention – you really rarely see something like it. Elegantly served on a black étagère, carried by the Lucy Wire Bar Table from our event rental – this is certainly a highlight in the room.
Products from this story
Ghost Armrest Chair
One of our most popular chairs now also with armrests: The Victoria Ghost Chair impresses with its modern, transparent look. With the Victoria Ghost Armrest Chair, we now also offer the even more comfortable version in our event rental.
With our Ghost Style Victoria chairs with armrests, you can give your event location a modern touch and thus perfectly complement your decoration concept. The Ghost chairs turn any location into an eye-catcher – they are ultra-modern and super stylish. The clear acrylic from which the Ghost Style Victoria chairs are made clearly distinguishes them from other chairs and offers an extraordinary alternative.
Linen tablecloth
The beautiful chosen color macchiato beige is just one of many colors that we have to choose from. Machhiato beige has the same properties as beige, but is much darker and stronger and can therefore be used as the main colour, but also as a complementary basic colour in a colour concept.
Champagne Cup
The new eye-catcher in our shop: Our elegant champagne bowls with gold rims. The special structure of the lenses refracts the light particularly beautifully. The golden rim refines the champagne cup – is there a more noble way to have an aperitif?

The Wire Bar Table is the latest trend in the upcoming wedding season. The modern, geometric mesh look gives the Wire Bar Table its high-quality look, it is striking and yet looks simple.

Modern wedding decor for hire
A monochrome wedding concept in an industrial loft: ghost chairs with armrests, linen, black cutlery and candlelight
For a photography workshop by Vicky Baumann, a monochrome wedding set-up was created at Loft No. 6 in Cologne: an industrial space, earthy greys and beiges, lots of candlelight and floristry with dried elements. Concept and design by Kristina Höfler (Bespoke Design) and Pia Zimmermann (Perfect Plan), flowers by Hochzeitsbouquetterie from Düsseldorf, cake by Pennycakes.
At the centre are our transparent Ghost Style Victoria chairs with armrests. They give the table room, look light despite the armrests and suit a loft, barn or castle alike. Add floor-length linen tablecloths in macchiato beige, a dark runner down to the floor, black cutlery, dark grey napkins and a Lucy wire bar table for the cake.
What this concept shows: modern wedding decor doesn't have to be white and gold. Earthy, dark tones feel warm when you add candlelight, natural materials and textures such as linen, muslin and dried flowers. Black cutlery and dark napkins add contrast without feeling harsh; gold-rimmed glasses add a subtle accent.

What are ghost chairs with armrests?
Transparent acrylic chairs in the style of a Louis chair with armrests. They are more comfortable for dinner and still look light, as the acrylic keeps the view of table and room open.
Which ghost chair colours can we hire?
Clear, smoke, black, ecru white, amber and sage green; the armrest version is transparent. All models are stackable and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
How do I design a monochrome wedding that doesn't feel cold?
Use earthy rather than cool greys, natural materials such as linen and muslin, plenty of candlelight, dried flowers and pampas grass. A dark runner on a light linen cloth creates depth.
Does black cutlery suit a wedding?
Yes, especially modern, minimalist or industrial concepts. Matt black looks calm; black and gold is a little more festive. We offer both as a six-piece set per cover.
Which table runners can we hire?
Muslin runners in white, alabaster, beige, grey, olive and dusty rose, fine-art chiffon runners in pastel and natural tones, linen runners in off-white and macchiato and patterned cotton runners.
Which tablecloth suits long tables?
For tables around 2.20 m long with a floor-length look, 410 × 250 cm. For longer table runs we overlap several cloths.
Can we hire bar tables for the cake or sweet table?
