Art Comes to Life: Old Dominion University Wedding, Part II

In a recent post we shared a few highlights from the fabulous wedding for our "Old Dominion University" couple. Yep, this DC couple wanted to exchange their vows at the same college campus where they met and fell in love. We were hired to plan, design and coordinate their fantastic ceremony and "glam-tastic"wedding reception. In the earlier post (Part I) we shared images from the university's campus ceremony.

Immediately following the ceremony the reception took place at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. For the reception the Bride & Groom did something we love, they just told us what things that they liked and gave us creative license to "make something beautiful"... and so we did! The Bride requested damask, crystals, branches, and calla lily so we presented design sketches (and emailed them to them in a slide format). From a fun contemporary room layout to custom designed lounge area with dozens of floating glass orbs with candles and more... we custom created flowers and decor. The final results were beyond their expectations! Enjoy these images for what I like to call "Part II... the Reception!"

Art Comes to Life: Asian Inspired & Cherry Blossom Wedding - Part I

Once again congratulations to Melissa & Gary!

I know, I know, everyone saids this but really... we LOVE our Clients! We try to create a unique design process (and truly special experience for our Clients)... taking an intensely creative and personal journey with them from envisioning a design on paper to bringing theses images to life. Here's one of our recent favorites! The Bride & Groom (Melissa & Gary) wanted guests to experience the look and feel of a celebration that focused on a Cherry Blossom theme. Throughout our design process I picked up on several Asian-inspired theme and modern style concepts that the Bride and Groom liked and incorporated them into the designs. Here's some of the Original Concept Art and what we brought to life!
