With a mix of light and dark and, minimalistic and romantic details, this inspiration shoot is everything, bringing what you wouldn’t typically expect together to create absolute perfection, all dreamed up by Crowned Events! An industrial backdrop was the venue of choice and Building 177 was the perfect fit for Organic Flora to create a hanging floral installation for the ceremony and lush and playful blooms for the centerpieces. Pura Soul captured all of the beauty in the modern, whimsical details including the brides stunning off the shoulder Galia Lahav gown! Go ahead and start saving not one, but all of these images for your own wedding day!
From Skylar Stetten of Pura Soul Photography…Whether you’re a planner, a bride, a florist, or a photographer, it’s not easy to make a large space feel small–but somehow this group did it. For this shoot, the hanging ceremony arch installation helped to lower the ceiling and make the venue feel more intimate. The flowers that flooded the tables filled up space with their overflowing opulence, not to mention they were locally sourced from the florist’s home garden! And most of all, the Galia Lahav dress showed up front and center with its couture beading and romantic sleeves that made up this minimalist-maximalist shoot.
From Crowned Events…The inspiration behind this design stemmed from the desire to fuse styles that we generally find in opposition to each other– dark and light, moody and romantic, clean lines and delicate details. Pura Soul’s expertise in fine art photography, Organic Flora’s timeless aesthetic and Crowned Events love for adding a modern spin to classic design produced a synthesis of contemporary ideas and refined presentation. We knew Building 177’s vaulted ceiling, modern white columns and open-air feel were the perfect canvas to showcase this concept.
Organic Flora’s ceremony installation created a sense of whimsy and grandeur which we grounded with the clean, midcentury lines of Catalog Atelier’s Leigh and James chairs. Sarah, of Beauty Bespoken, kept our bride looking fresh and beautiful, highlighting her natural features. Our bride wore a stunning oval-halo Honey Jewelry Co ring and a gorgeous, ultra-feminine Galia Lahav dress that we feel complimented the softness in the ceremony installation and playfulness of her bouquet.
For the tablescape, we knew Catalog Atelier’s sleek glassware and marble chargers would be the perfect compliment to Borrowed Blu’s clear + white Siren plates and matte black Luna flatware. We added organic cotton Fawn napkins, a dark velvet linen, and a slate blue table runner to introduce some varying texture and movement through textiles. Organic Flora’s arrangements featured soft pink, lush blooms, adding a feeling of delicacy to our tablescape. We used unexpected mediums, such as acrylic and leather, to create special details like candle holders and name cards. Sophia of Sophia Loves Letters’ entire suite captured the essence of light vs dark and soft vs hard we hoped to communicate in all aspects of our design.
