A destination wedding to Florida's Gulf Coast.

Bright hues and a unique tented wedding under the stars.

Dreamy weather and dining al fresco

It was a gorgeous day for H & H.

It was an honor to design H & H's destination wedding. They knew they wanted to lean towards a more private venue, they wanted to utilize a beautiful clear-top tent, and they were open to thinking outside-the-box when it came to the venue spaces. We chose to design a tent with the help of Myrtie Blue, that not only welcomed guests right into the ceremony, but would also flip into the band's stage and focal dancing location for the rest of the night.

A unique layout

Encouraged everyone to dance the night away!

Avis envisioned a large clear-top tent that would be split in half with a large band stage. Intricate draping details were sketched out to fully visualize how we would not only create a beautiful ceremony backdrop, but also a place where the band could load-in and soundcheck before the ceremony without the guests knowing any different. A quick cocktail hour around the adjacent pool allowed for a quick transformation of draping and for the band to fully appear. We designed the 3 strolling food stations to be positioned behind the band without actually seeing the back of the band. Guests were able to enjoy spirits from a large semi-circular bar, and dine al fresco around the large tent after the visited the food stations.

A PLACE FOR RICH CONVERSATIONS

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

A magical evening had by all
Seeing the images for the first time makes me so happy! Some things I didn't even see - much of it a blur. Thankfully, we have pictures. Beautifully done, Avis and crew!

Creative, thorough, and a genuine pleasure to work with
Myrtie Blue has worked with Avis for the last 12 years. She understands the many moving parts of producing a beautiful event and doesn't hesitate to ensure all details are accounted for. Avis thinks outside of the box and creates spaces that are intriguing and unique.

Dancing the night away

Once the guests enjoyed a wide array of food choices, they were encouraged to head back into the newly transformed dancing location! Thankfully, East Coast Entertainment recommended a band who could be flexible with their setup. We made sure we could take care of the band so the band could perform their best all night!

The Details

In order to fully understand our layout and flipping the space,

Avis hired a graphic artist to create virtual renderings of the space. Thankfully, it was a huge help to visualize the space and the clients were sold on the whole concept! It's hard to explain something you've created in your head, so utilizing an artist to make those come to life really helps to present our design concepts.
