Alyssa and Jake’s wedding day at The Holland Performing Arts Center was a lively event, with vibrant hues and delicate botanicals weaving through the contemporary setting. The bride and groom sought to create a celebration that exuded charm and sophistication while maintaining an interactive and timeless feel.
Inspired by the spirited Hollyhocks wallpaper from House of Hackney, the color palette danced with hues of peachy coral, creamsicle orange, periwinkle, spring green, dusty lavender, magenta, and amethyst. The invitation suite showcased modern design sensibilities, balancing colorful paper and typographical designs with finesse. A secondary floral pattern enriched the ensemble, offering a contemporary contrast while allowing the vibrant Hollyhocks envelope liners to shine.
As guests gathered in the courtyard for the ceremony, they were met by a chuppah brimming with vibrancy. Grassy textures at its base seamlessly transitioned from the outdoor setting, while a burst of colorful florals asymmetrically adorned the top, creating harmony with the modern environment. Nursery items skillfully concealed the dense stone wall behind, enhancing the enchanting atmosphere.
Moving indoors, the grand staircase greeted guests with a seating assignment display adorned with accents of the Hollyhocks floral print. Curved golden oak holders added a whimsical touch to the setting, showcasing die-cut floral printed cards that piqued curiosity.
During the cocktail hour, guests indulged in colorful canapés and signature cocktails like the blood orange margarita, served in elegant glassware with iridescent floral swizzle sticks. Meanwhile, musicians performed from above, adding to the ambiance of the gathering.
In Scott Hall, the dinner and dancing atmosphere took on a moodier, more dramatic tone. Lavender suede enveloped the room, accentuated by a crisp spring green valance. Dining tables featured linens embroidered with periwinkle florals, while raw wood diamond-back chairs exuded warmth. Place settings were meticulously arranged, showcasing ceramic china with fluted coral edges and stainless steel flatware accented by green resin handles.
The centerpieces, comprising a collection of colorful glass vessels and candle holders, further infused the table setting with dimension and vibrancy. By opting for single-bloom arrangements to balance the eclectic glassware, the overall effect remained elegant and refined. Moreover, with all centerpieces positioned low on the table, the muted spring green taper candles contributed a sense of height and added an extra layer of visual interest to the table settings.
The dance floor took center stage surrounded by a patterned decal with a soft peach background to complement the venue’s wooden floor while it’s lavender and green geometric shapes tied in the draping hues while providing visual contrast to the floral linens. The band’s stage was adorned with a colorful floral frame, aiming to bring the Hollyhocks wall covering to life with fresh floral blooms like mums, aster, dogwood, and poppies.
To conclude the evening, a three-tier wedding cake graced the scene, embellished with a fondant pattern mirroring the dance floor. Delicate sugar flowers adorned its tiers, adding to the lively atmosphere of the event and leaving lasting memories for all who attended.
