if i had to describe the feeling of this wedding i would say: breakfast at tiffany’s meets the french riviera, painted through the lens of monet. a design that truly made my heart flutter 🦋
we took Madeleine Hill ‘s watercolor illustration from her save the date and ran with it. Stephanie Benton dreamed up the full design and brought every layer together. from SBE’s iconic pattern mixing and powder blue lampshades to the pink glassware, the ruffled linens and all of those tiny details in between, everything felt so special and cohesive.
for the flowers, we looked to monet’s gardens for inspiration. we built a romantic, elevated palette of blush, soft green and the palest touches of blue. we designed lush moments of garden roses, peonies, delphinium, orchids and the most fragrant hyacinth sculptures with tiny dancing nerine lilies that floated above the tables. a dream!🩰🦢
the best kind of design is when every element feels like it belongs to the same story, and this one really did. it was romantic without feeling precious, playful, elevated and a little unexpected.
and when a client trusts their creative team, we get to push the ideas a little further, make unexpected choices and create something that feels completely their own.
