Questions to ask your vendor
What to ask before you book
- 1.Have you designed sculptural floral installations that need to be structurally self-supporting, without traditional armature?
- 2.Can you fabricate or source geometric metal or acrylic arch frames, or do you work with a fabricator?
- 3.How do you approach a monochrome floral brief — single bloom, single color — without it reading as sparse or underdone?
- 4.Does the venue support projection mapping or architectural lighting that can complement the modern aesthetic?
- 5.What's your experience with custom neon or acrylic signage — do you produce it in-house or commission it?

Navy is bold — anchor it with crisp white and warm gold. Avoid pairing with black (too formal) or red (too patriotic). Champagne softens it perfectly.
Season planning
summer wedding tips
- —Golden hour in summer falls late — often 8–9pm — which gives you a long, beautifully lit reception window
- —Shade is essential for outdoor daytime ceremonies: position the altar so guests face away from the sun
- —Keep guests cool with hand fans, chilled water stations, and breathable seating arrangements
- —Floral hydration is critical in heat — work with your florist on conditioning and misting
Golden hourSummer golden hour lasts 30–60 minutes before sunset and produces the warmest, richest light of the year.
Things to consider
- ·Book air-conditioned transport for the wedding party
- ·Ice-cold signature drinks or a granita station keeps guests happy during cocktail hour
- ·Confirm venue has power for fans or misting systems if outdoors all day
