A wedding is rarely a single evening anymore, and the surrounding events deserve as much intention as the day itself. For our own celebration, I designed each gathering as its own complete world, so that no two nights felt alike.
The welcome dinner took a celestial, zodiac theme, its paper goods and palette built around the night sky. The bridal luncheon turned in a different direction entirely: an Alice in Wonderland table in fuchsia and pale pink azaleas, playful and lush. The groom’s dinner became a Dutch still life, referencing the old master flower paintings, down to a gold gorilla in a ruby crown presiding over the room.
Composed, not repeated
The lesson I carry into clients’ weekends is this: a considered weekend is composed, not repeated. Each event should have a distinct point of view, carried through the invitation, the tablescape, the florals, and the light, while still feeling like chapters of one story. That is the same instinct I bring to an interior, where every room is its own atmosphere and the house is still whole.
Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a bridal shower, or a rehearsal dinner, I design each as its own immersive experience.
