Two weeks ago we designed a beautiful wedding at a private home in Sagaponack, New York. It was a grand affair in a tent on the client’s property. We worked on the design for months and the family was over the moon with the results. As soon as all of the photos come in I promise I will post!
But first a little story for Inspiration Tuesday…..
There were two trees flanking the entrance to the property and a tall tree by the back porch. We filled the trees with long lengths of grosgrain ribbons, strings of shells, hanging lanterns, and wind-chimes. All of these elements swayed softly in the breeze. When the sun went down the trees just came alive. It was magical!! So magical the family asked us to leave the tree by the porch in tact for them to enjoy throughout the summer.
On Sunday afternoon after the last guest had left, she was finally able to sit down and enjoy a moment on the back porch. She felt relaxed and inspired. It occurred to her that the simple sound of wind-chimes was a very powerful design element indeed.
