A Unique Vision Brought to Life
Laura, an artist, and Rick, a musician, brought their passions to the forefront of their wedding day. With the expert month-of coordination by Erin, every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Laura’s artistic touch was evident throughout the venue, from the Monet-inspired ceremony backdrop she painted herself to the canvases hanging on the walls, creating a stunning gallery-like atmosphere.

Unconventional and Personal Touches
Embracing their second chance at love, both in their mid-60s, Laura and Rick wanted their wedding to be anything but traditional. Laura’s choice to wear a stunning green dress instead of a conventional white gown was a bold statement of her individuality and a reflection of their unique journey together.

The couple’s love for jewel tones was evident in their vibrant color palette, adding richness and depth to the decor. SKYLIGHT’s grid wall was creatively used for the seating chart, an in-house decor choice that added a modern touch to the charm of the wedding.
