A RougeLune Wedding - @twilighttheater​

The day had finally arrived, and it was one full of sunshine and warmth. The scene in the forest was set, with a wooden walkway leading up to the altar. Rows of chairs flanked either side of the aisle, sunbeams filtering through the leafy green canopy overhead. Lights were strung up in the trees above, likely unneeded with the sunlight for the time being. A group of musicians chatted quietly off to the side, hushing and beginning to play as the guests began to filter in. Many were from overseas, while some guests didn’t have to travel far, fortunately. Everyone settled down in their seats, quiet whispers and chatter filling the forest air. 

The conversations grew quieter, a hush falling over the group as the wedding procession soon came in several moments after. Chandelier led the group, flower petals cascading out from her hands freely in an array of colors, earning a series of ‘aww’s’ from the crowd. Flowers also bloomed in her wake along the lush forest grass, lining the aisle beautifully and spreading out through the seating area itself. 

Serena was far behind the party, trying to keep herself out of sight as she watched everyone else take their places. “Does it look okay?” She asked Grace, a hand lifting to gently tug at her veil. Her mother only met her with a beaming smile, hands coming to rest on her daughter’s shoulders. “Serena, mon ange, you look beautiful. I promise. You don’t even have a hair out of place.” Grace reassured her, which only made Serena smile in response. “Now go! It’s almost your time to shine. Yveltal is waiting; I’ll be in my seat.” With a final, tight hug, Grace parted from Serena and hurried to take her seat.

Before she even made a step, Yveltal hurried over, helping her lift the bottom of her dress so it wouldn’t drag too much in the dirt and leaves beneath them. Serena could see his eyes threatening to fill with tears at any second, willing herself to keep her own tears at bay. “Thank you,” she’d say softly, arm slipping into his, “are you going to be okay?” She joked immediately after, which earned her a rare laugh from the god of death. “I… I won’t lie to you, I likely will end up crying.” Yveltal admits, leading her towards the ceremony. “It’s hard not to do so right now, even. You look absolutely stunning, Serena.” She gives his arm a squeeze in return, fighting back the rising lump in her throat. 

They approached the aisle together, Serena sucking in a quiet breath. Only the music from the quartet filled her ears; the guests were in total silence at her and Yveltal’s approach.

Serena, quite literally, looked like a star goddess. Her dress was draped over her frame, like a piece of the night sky itself was plucked and molded to fit her body perfectly. Long locks of blonde hair were twisted expertly into curls and braids, black roses and smaller white flowers adorning golden tresses. Her makeup matched the intensity of her dress, black void nearly taking over shimmering silver, and a long veil of darkness rest over her like a blanket. Atop her head was the tiara Red got her for her birthday, a crown of stars matching her engagement ring. A few quiet gasps and ‘ooo’s’ rose from the crowd, Serena feeling herself blush slightly, thankful for her veil. In her hands was a beautiful bouquet of deep red roses, complimented with small white flowers. Her signature Mega Ring was missing from her wrist, kept safely at home for the time being instead. A diamond and blue sandstone bracelet rest in its place instead.

Bright silver eyes soon moved away from the guests, rising towards the altar to look upon Red. Red, her fiance, and very soon to be husband. It was such an emotionally raw moment, between being the most dressed up she’d ever been in her life, Yveltal walking her down the aisle, and her getting to marry her soulmate. She hadn’t realized how frazzled her mind had been until she looked upon Red, her thoughts soon finding their usual calm as they did when he was around. He was her sun, the burning light that would illuminate her, mind, body, and soul. The red accent of his Montsuki complimented her flowers perfectly; an accidental match that showed they were on the same wavelength as always.

Once they reached the end of the aisle, Serena turned to give Yveltal a hug, holding on tight as tears were battled back once more. “Thank you,” she whispers. The hug is returned as carefully as Yveltal can muster, not wanting to mess up her hair by mistake. Serena feels him begin to shake slightly, tears dripping onto her shoulder. “I love you, dad.” And with that, they’d part, Yveltal watching her join Red at the altar through tear-filled eyes, soon joining Xerneas’ side in the audience.

A hand leaves her bouquet, immediately finding Red’s as she faced him. Sunbeams filtered through the trees above, bathing the two in the soft glow of the sun. She could see why he was so adamant about her staying out of the room when he was trying his Montsuki on. He looked so good, so stunning, so handsome, she was still utterly awestruck and blown away that she got to be his wife. It felt too good to be true, but it wasn’t.

“You look amazing,” Serena said quietly, the music now slowly winding down with the two joined at the altar.

{{ whenever there’s an event of any kind (irl or elsewhere), my design student/fashion/styling fanatical lil brain immediately hyperfixates, so w/o further ado: Jasmine’s look(s) for the event of the season, the #ROUGELUNEWEDDING !!  (and yes i went overboard af) }}

forewarning: lots of reference pics below:

~while Jas has a very laid-back fashion sense about her, and has never really been one to doll herself up, there are a few occasions for which she will go the extra mile: weddings, being at the top of the list. Adding to the fact this is the wedding of a dear friend and in Kalos of all places, she just had to bump it up a notch! (for all intensive purposes, Valerie is stealing all credit (I hc them as being somewhat of acquaintances) but let it be known that between Jimmy Choo, Philip Treacy, Tiffany, Alexander McQueen and many others, miss ma’am is styled for the gods):

For the main event, it’s very important for Jasmine not to have a silhouette that teeters too close to the edge of “bridal”, so a maxi dress would be the perfect choice in this scenario. The teal/royal blue paired with the puff sleeves is enough of a statement, without being too distracting from the woman of the hour.

The pillbox hat adds a nice touch, giving the ensemble more of a Kalosian flair.

To balance the look’s essence of drama, simpler accessories would be ideal: the cooler tones of the dress are benefited greatly by silver or white-gold accents, as well as crystal or white pearls. (there’s also a slight floral motif going on, to fit with the wedding’s venue!)

(the way i have the earrings and plexi mini bag bookmarked for myself...)

As far as hair and make-up, Jas isn’t too fussy with anything more complex than the basics. A soft glam approach would be taken here—light blush, nude pink lip, soft smokey eye with hints of peach, and thin liner. Her signature winged pigtails would be ditched for a regal high pony: basically, Ariana during that one Grammy Awards she looked so sickening at. 

Inevitably, Jasmine would want to switch from the glam, and so for the reception, she’d change into something a little more her style. This McQueen tie-shouldered mini dress is something she’d legit wear 24/7 (like I sought it out specifically because it just screams JASMINE!!). It’s comfortable, but with enough construction going on that it isn’t at all lifeless.

Accessory-wise, she’d swap the crystals for pearls, their versatility complimenting the warm hues of the outfit. 

The move from colder hues to warmer ones is symbolic in a way, although Jasmine doesn’t have much time to mull over all that: she’s just thrilled to be here to see Serena wed the love of her life!!

(the earrings and mini dress will be returning to Johto with her sorry Val)

Has he gotten everything prepared, well in advance? Yes, of course he has!

His clothes are ready, he’s gotten the invitation date and time saved in his phone just to be double sure of the details, and he’s already buzzing with excitement for the happy couple. This is going to be such a wonderful day!

Something Lucas has always suspected, but has never been able to confirm until now: he cries at weddings.

[obliviscii]

NO ONE LOOK AT HIM

[luckynatured]

“HILBERT!” Carmen practically screeched at Hilbert the minute he opened the door. She hopped over and shoved an envelope into his hand. “A fancy card came in the mail and I’ve been dying to know what it was! Read it, read it!!” 

“Uhh, okay...?” Hilbert opened the envelope and scanned the words. A moment passed before he immediately bolted out the door, over Carmen’s protests. “Oh, shit-”

He’d explain what it was to Carmen later; he had to make sure he had something appropriate! And maybe a pretty dress for her too; it’s the least he can do for keeping her in suspense like that.

[shadesandrollerblades]

You better believe he was at Serena and Red’s wedding, and definitely brought his boyfriend along. Good for them.

[twilighttheater]

The event is pretty noisy, but Red and Serena look happy as could be and everyone is happy for them. He is too, even if he won’t say it outright. Good for them.

[gardenofgods]

HE LOVES WEDDINGS SO MUCH HE IS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE RN-

[dawnedon]

“A black dress is such a good idea... of course it’d be Serena making it happen and absolutely killing the look.”

[faesandfaunas]

There are petals littered across the ground in the fae realm completely haphazardly, from a young Xerneas trying very hard to perfect her flower girl skills before the wedding itself. Zacian has tried to tell her that it’s not that big of a deal but she’s not listening.

But at least all three of the faes in question have their outfits set out and ready for the big day.

[sereina-archive]

One thing is for sure. If she could cry, she would be crying right now.

...

Like hell is she going to ever admit it though.

{{ now seeing as Jasmine is getting dolled up, naturally the Pokemon with her also deserve a bit of the star treatment! A little of that razzle dazzle — as a treat. }}

Since Edie mainly minds her business at the cottage, Jas thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take the lil lady on a trip! Edie has such a sweet temperament, and loves events like weddings or baby showers, so it was kind of a necessity she tag along.

She wants to be like her mama, so a teal hat is a must (keeping it on brand). Edie also rocks a cute lacy collar and a bedazzled sash around her waist, repurposed as a skirt (she’s smol): 

What kind of person would Jasmine be to not bring the twins? Besides both getting a good polish, they’d also have matching bowties (because, honestly, how would you dress a Magnemite). Tilo wanted their bow a tad more blue, to stand apart.

[alibraryofsouls]

“Part of me is surprised you’re even coming, and that you’re dressing up. That’s quite ah, shock for you, wouldn’t you say?”

“And your kimono is going to give my dad a run for his money as a beacon. Just help me already.”

[timebranded]

Wait...does he even have anything to wear that’s apropos for a wedding?

[obliviscii]

Yveltal is messing with the flower on his suit with careful hands, finally able to detach it from the fabric without ripping or tearing any of it. Perfect. When the time came, he would put the pendant Xerneas got him for their anniversary in its place.
