AL FRESCO RECEPTION
LUXE BOHEMIA
phoenix tent & event rentals sourced a gigantic, glass-walled tent to
host the celebration. The tent was transported from California and installed
over the course of five days. Long wooden dining tables were paired with
wooden chairs from true-blue event rentals. Linen table runners were
topped with low floral centrepieces made with an abundance of fragrant
roses and peonies. Antique chandeliers, hanging strings of edison bulbs, and
hundreds of candles added to the nostalgic, romantic ambience. promosa
executed the lighting production and AV for the event.
A path of candles led to a hilltop lounge that offered guests an ultrasecluded (and oh-so-romantic!) reprieve from the party if needed. The lounge
featured a beautiful pergola from art of the party design inc. Guests
could keep warm with custom pashminas embroidered with the couple’s
favourite quote.
The couple’s wedding dream team (Erin Bishop from filosophi event
planning & design, Cailyn Bays of delovely creative, and Aniko Kovacs
of garlands florist) collaborated to create a luxe-meets-bohemian
environment.
