We know there’s always areas of focus in an event, but have you ever considered that area of focus to be overhead? If not, it may be time to reconsider. According to Vogue Magazine, one wedding trend to watch in 2023 includes dramatic ceilings. This is why we are here to show you how you too can make a statement with dramatic ceilings.

Floral takeover

Of course we are starting off with a fan favorite, the floral takeover. This particular technique brings life, fragrance, and color to a space with a dramatic and romantic look. Depending on the flowers used, many different effects can be achieved.

We absolutely love to bring our clients dreams to life with custom designs and unique experiences. Justin & Joe’s wedding ceremony and reception is a perfect example of this. This epic celebration of love merges families and cultures in one elegant wedding at Rosewood Sandhill.

Here’s an inside look at the special day.

The wedding was held at Rosewood Sandhill which provided all enough space for the various events, as well as accommodations for guests.

The couple got ready together before taking portraits with their beloved pets.

The celebration began with an intimate tea ceremony. It was a meaningful and beautiful moment for the couple. 

The wedding continued with a western ceremony featuring the exchanging of vows, rings, and a first kiss.

During the ceremony there was a string band to set the mood.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued with a dinner reception that honored the merging of the couple as well as their individual cultures.

The entire day was beautifully captured by a live artist who painted scenes of the tea ceremony, exchanging of vows, and the dinner reception.

During dinner, the Lion Dancers performed entertaining the guests with a vibrant display of color and culture.

Later in the evening, Mexican culture was honored with a Mariachi performance. This was an excellent way to shift the mood and prepare guests for the rest of the evening.

The evening continued and the couple commemorated their love with friends, family, and a ball pit photo booth.

We are so grateful to have been part of such a special day. We absolutely love being able to bring custom events to life that perfectly represent the life and love a couple shares. It is clear to see from the photos that this celebration of love perfectly merges families and cultures in one elegant wedding.

Every year we see new trends emerging within the event Industry. Amongst these industry trends is the increase in use of color when designing weddings. According to our friends at brides.com, the use of color will be one of the most popular wedding trends of 2022. Embracing color on your wedding day may involve creating a monochrome masterpiece, working with contrasting hues, or developing an ombré oasis. Whatever it may be, this is a great opportunity to celebrate with a wedding as vibrant and bright as the love you share.

Ready? Here are a few ways to add more color to your wedding design.

1. Florals

Florals may be an obvious choice, but it is such an effective way to enhance the color palette instantly. From floral backdrops and chandeliers to center pieces and water installations — here are a few examples of how we have incorporated florals to add to the color to a wedding design.

2. Linens

Linens are another successful way to add color to a wedding design, particularly during the reception and happy hour. This is a great opportunity to change, enhance, or add to the color palette as the event develops. Take a look below to see how even pastels can add a bright spot in the design of an event.

Refreshments are such an important detail when hosting for many reasons. This includes adding to the overall design and theme. Fresh, colorful foods are more available than ever before and they are a wonderful way to enhance the color scheme of a wedding day. Here are a few vibrant dishes from previous events we’ve designed to inspire you.

Location may be the most natural and overall encompassing way to enhance or develop a color palette. Selecting a venue or destination with a rich backdrop not only adds to the photos and overall feel of the day, but it creates an extra special memory for all those involved. Here are couple examples when the scenery dramatically added to an experience.
