Modern Gatsby Wedding @ Clifford Pier

When we think of the Jazz Age, we think of Gatsby’s distinguished fêtes of iconic white feathers and gold accents, complete with the glitz and glamour of the 1920s. 

 

Our featured couple had a strong inclination towards the fabulous ‘20s, but also had a fond love for the colour red. As Gatsby’s parties invoked energy and passion, we were sure that we could work red into the theme without a hitch! 

The combination of red and champagne-silver resulted in a modern take on The Great Gatsby. 

 

Keeping in line with the elegance, we refined the bridal bouquet with dainty red carnations and plush white peonies. Petite ostrich feathers tied the bouquet in with the rest of the theme.

 

 

 

We introduced white ostrich feathers to the tan pampas for a polished finish. The feathery texture brought the exuberance of the 1920s while the accompanying crimson red roses completed the scene of timeless love. 

 

Lining the aisle with extravagant floral stands consisting of gold leaf accents and tall white pampas presented gracefulness and poise in this beautiful ceremony. 

 

 

The focus flowers chosen were white hydrangeas and wine red roses.

Red astibles were incorporated into the arrangements to give a pop of colour. 

 

Our couple initially asked for a hanging floral installation but was delighted when we advised that a floating installation was feasible, making the flower arrangements even more majestic and magical.

Using clear acrylic structures, we suspended the regal installation consisting of rich pampas, luxuriously white peonies and romantic red roses high in the air on the main platform.

 

The clear acrylic structures were specifically built to support the blooms at the perfect couple framing height, making it perfect for full-body shots as well as intimate, affectionate photos. 

 

The Great Gatsby form came together perfectly under the naturally lit venue of tall, white walls in this exclusive wedding ceremony.

 

 

We are sure the glitz and glamour will last throughout our beautiful couple’s marriage. Congratulations and our best wishes for your journey ahead!
