Artistic + Avant-Garde: Wedding Inspiration with a Modern Pink + Blue Touch

Avant Garde Wedding Inspiration

When the mood board reads “Avant-garde, retro, glam,” we tune in, IMMEDIATELY. Taking things to new heights, this team of creatives produced something wild and whimsical, yet modern and cool for Fancier Mag, and today they’re sharing it with us! Featuring a strict pink and blue palette, these hues are soft and feminine, while contemporary—you’ll see what we mean below!

It’s always a good time when you can play off of the design aesthetic of the venue you’re working at, in this case: Kimpton Journeyman. The overall feeling is clean and modern, which translated so elegantly in this editorial. For the modern bride-to-be, especially those that are art enthusiasts, we have a feeling you’re going to fall for these snaps from Twin Lens Weddings, planned to perfect by Elevate Events!

The Details

Erika, of Flowers for Dreams, created floral designs that can best be described as “art,” by combining painted stems with live flora. Such a fun idea, right?

Would you peep those socks! We’ve been having a *moment* with all things celestial lately, and these socks are taking us to the, um, stars… ;)

As for the bride’s look, we’re seriously digging that Alexandra Grecco gown! The subtle natural makeup and the understated, yet full of volume, hairstyle by Erik of Norway Salon was the perfect complement.

The Seating Chart

How we LOVE a cool seating chart, and this team did not disappoint! Shelby Made It lettered all these mirrored pieces, and it definitely has an overall luxe quality.
