I am currently working with a darling bride to plan her early spring wedding next year.  It’s taking place at a brand spankin’ new venue, Bridgeport Art Center.  To say I’m IN LOVE with the space is a massive understatement – we already have two client weddings booked here.

  

The setting is gorgeous – raw but polished and warm.  Exposed brick walls meet timber beams and soaring original skylights.  Countless windows allow for unparalleled views of the skyline {a benefit of being in…well…Bridgeport!}

Here are a couple of images of the newly finished space:

I am seriously loving the opportunity to play around with different styles and color palettes that would do a proper job of showcasing the beautiful backdrop of the venue.

Tomorrow, my darling bride and I begin the decor process and I have put together this inspiration board to use as a planning tool:

The bride loves the setting and wants to enhance it with a gorgeous palette of saffron/mango, rich ocean/teal, dusty greys and white.  She loves vintage, eclectic touches, rustic but refined details and a warm and celebratory feeling.

Can’t wait to see how this continues to take shape!

{PS:  Loving dreaming about what we’re going to do with the fabulous 80 passenger open-air freight elevator that takes guests up to the event space…a specialty bar and chandeliers will only be the start of it!}
