As wedding planners and designers we are always intentional about the mood and overall vibe we create for our clients and their guests. Our inspiration for A + S draws heavily from contemporary design, featuring clean lines, bold simplicity, and an artistic approach to light and texture. Here are a few key elements that shaped the vision for their wedding weekend :

1. Sculptural Lighting and Architectural Minimalism

The geometric wall scones and grid-like lighting installations from our initial inspiration jumping off point brings a dramatic, futuristic touch. By incorporating sculptural lighting into the venue, we are aiming to create a soft, glowing environment that feels intimate yet spacious. Lighting is not just functional; it sets the tone, and in this case, it mirrors our couple’s modern aesthetic.

2. Textured Glass and Reflection

The metallic and reflective surfaces, such as sleek mirrored candle holders and frosted glass doors, highlight a sense of sophistication and modernity. These reflective elements will be infused into table settings and decor to amplify natural light and add ethereal quality to the spaces atmosphere.

3. Bold Minimalist Floral Design

We’re steering away from over-the-top floral arrangements in favor of minimalist designs. Think low, structured centerpieces in rectangular glass vases with soft white flowers. This creates a clean and organized space that still exudes modern romance. The white-on-white florals pair perfectly with modern, reflective decor to maintain an air of sleek refinement.

4. Fashion Forward Details

The couple’s wardrobe reflects a blend of tradition with avant-garde fashion. From the billowing sheer fabrics featured to delicate embellishments, each detail in their attire is crafted to embody understated luxury. The transparent layers provide a sense of delicacy and movement, adding dimension to the overall look.

5. Touches of Silver and Metallic Shine

Silver tones and metallic textures serve as a core design component. From the polished candlesticks to the shimmering silver couch, these accents will be reflected in the reception’s furniture and decorative details. Metallic finishes add a futuristic yet glamorous edge, elevating the overall aesthetic while maintaining a cohesive, minimalist vibe.

6. Refined Table Settings

Even the smallest details like the diamond-encrusted knife and fork create a sense of elevation and refinement. We will design a table setting that feels opulent but restrained, focusing on high-quality materials and simple, elegant decor. The use of silver flatware paired with sleek glassware adds a modern touch without overwhelming the simplicity we’re aiming to achieve.

7. Textures and Comfort in Lounge Spaces

The lounge areas will feature plush, contemporary seating to encourage a relaxed, intimate vibe during the cocktail hour and reception. We were inspired by the luxurious textures seen in the metallic furniture and soft rugs from our inspiration board. By mixing different textures and materials, we create a space that feels both luxurious and inviting.

To sum up our thoughts as A + S’s wedding planners and designers , this design inspiration balances minimalist elegance with bold, modern touches. We want the couple’s wedding to feel sophisticated, intimate, and timeless, blending fashion-forward aesthetics with clean, contemporary design. Every element—from the lighting to the floral arrangements—works in harmony to create a truly unique experience for them and their guests.
