Weddings at the Gallery

10 Photos

Our clients wanted to create something quite spectacular to celebrate their wedding recently at Christchurch Art Gallery. The couple with their bridal party and close relations all made a grand entrance into their reception from the staircase, which they wanted to be adorned with elegant beautiful pale blooms.

In total we constructed over 60 metres of garlands to create this effect. The fragrance of the Oriental lilies gently filled the area.

The staircase was also used as a feature for their family, guest and group photos, and our flower wall was enjoyed by all throughout the evening to capture amazing selfies.

Lighting enhanced the venue in the form of delicate fairy lights and bold pink uplighting around the building perimiter.
