•the inspo for our evening ceremony
• I love this sheer, drapey chiffon and baby’s breath art install. I’m planning to spend the summer drying as many of our ceremony flowers myself as I can and installing this in our venue the day before.
•my hope is to line the aisle with as many candles in glass hurricanes and tall dried florals as I can. I don’t necessarily want them quite as alice and wonderland tall as the second picture but I DO love the airiness and whimsical elegance of dried florals so they’ll be as tall as I can get them
•I’d love to have neutral bohemian rugs as aisle runners but I haven’t been able to find any at a decent price and rug rental is oddly steep in dfw 🤷🏽♀️
•our venue is a small converted Industrial space with an old ladder smack in the middle of the wall🪜 if I could move it I would, but I don’t think I can, so I’m gonna charm it up instead with a few more dried floral pieces and draping fabric reminiscent of what will hopefully be our backdrop installation
•in my traditional art, I tend to add lots of “sparkles” or dots or stray petals, small unnecessary flourishes to round out a composition so I love the idea of candle flame and loose petals providing the same element in 3D at the ceremony
•my natural style at the moment is some oddly curated blend of bohemian meets romantic academia if I had to classify it so my hope is that the ceremony reads “elegant bohemian” if that’s a thing.
•if I had to say what “Theme” the wedding is, my hope is that it reads as “airy” “dreamy” or “golden hour”... less the literal interpretation and more the way the world FEELS right as day ends before it slips into evening. That subtle liminal feeling as the suns light dips from gold to terra cotta and from excitement into rest. That sliver of space filled with haunting possibilities.
Mainmony music vibe
• honestly, I’m deeply, intrinsically romantic and the suppressed performer in me loves the drama of deeply cinematic moment. I’m literally just trying to justify my desire to have a crazy rich Asians ceremony moment where the room just feels hushed and ethereal. I want it to feel celestial and otherworldly so I have chosen music accordingly.
• first up, “air so sweet” by Dodie
•second up, “more to me” by steffany gretzinger and chandler moore.
•now the second is technically a worship song, and in that sense it does still apply, but I love the dreamy, airy, almost haunting tone of it.
•it also lyrically suits us so well. Z has always been so special to me in a way labels feel too small to fit. I love that this song is about a connection that is more. More than might make sense that you’ll never let go of.
•did I say I was aiming for cinematic?😅
•it’s hard to explain that I want it all to be very romantic without their brain going “traditional”, unconventional without them thinking “irreverent” and bohemian without them thinking “Woodstock,” so here we are. This is what I mean.
