VII. The Artist’s Meadow
The entire dinner design (and most important visual piece of L&K’s entire wedding) was inspired by the colors, textures, and florals found in impressionist artworks, mainly Van Gogh and Monet.
The first task to bringing this vision to life was finding the right floral designer. Upon scrolling through IG one night in the fall of 2023, I came upon an amazing designer located in Australia. His works were visually breathtaking…he brought a new perspective to floral design, bringing in new shapes, color combinations, and ideas of what a ‘floral arrangement’ should be. His work was joyful…the exact word that we were constantly using to describe the entire wedding…and it just felt right. One dm later to L and a few emails back and forth…Bryce and the amazing team from
@september___studio were on board.
The second task? Transforming the
@diadetroit into a garden.
After reviewing the venue, we wanted to bring an unexpected element to the design, something different to what has come before in this space. After many iterations of the table layout, we settled on a large master table in the center of the room. This 26’ diameter table was custom built to accommodate 40+ guests dining around the outer edge…with an unprecedented 20’ diameter meadow growing out of the center.
Additional smaller (but still large) round tables were clustered at each end of the room and played host to artful floral arrangements in black wire vases, nodding back to the giant floral installation at the center of the room.
Complimented by candlelight in black cast iron holders as well as colorful linens and place settings, this dinner was joy brought to life.
