There’s something truly magical about a winter wedding, and Morgan and Eric’s celebration at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa was nothing short of a gothic fairytale. With an elegant and moody color palette of black, red, and gold, their wedding was the perfect fusion of gothic romance and classic Beauty and the Beast enchantment.

A Ceremony Under the Stars

The couple exchanged vows in the Queen’s Lantern, a breathtaking glass-enclosed space that offered stunning nighttime views of the city. As darkness fell, the warm glow of candlelight illuminated the space, creating an intimate and ethereal atmosphere. With the castle-like architecture of the museum towering around them, Morgan and Eric’s ceremony felt like a scene from a timeless love story.

Enchanting Décor & Florals

Trillium Floral Designs transformed the venue into a gothic dreamscape, featuring lush red roses, deep-hued florals, and cascading greenery. Gold accents shimmered against the dark and moody décor, while black taper candles and ornate candelabras enhanced the dramatic ambiance. Every detail paid homage to the couple’s vision—elegance with a touch of dark romance.

A Night of Music & Celebration

Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed into a regal reception where the celebration continued late into the night. The Frank Ryan Band set the tone with their electrifying live performance, ensuring the dance floor was never empty. From the first dance to the final song, the music created an unforgettable experience filled with joy, energy, and love.

A Love Story for the Ages

Morgan and Eric’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—passionate, unique, and deeply romantic. Against the stunning backdrop of the Museum of Nature, their gothic fairytale came to life, proving that winter weddings can be as warm and magical as any summer affair.
