Irie Event Design embarked on a journey to soften the boldness of an art deco inspired wedding design. This styled shoot is proof the mission was a success! The George Washington Hotel, with its grand allure, was the perfect canvas for bringing this vision to life. The model bride graced the occasion in a gown from One White Lane Bridal Gallery adorned with exquisite art deco detailing, mirroring the jaw-dropping design of the cake expertly crafted by Alex Robba Cake. Complementing the bride’s look, vintage jewelry from Orr’s Jewelers added a touch of timeless sophistication. With a stunning 1920s updo from Simply Captivating Salon and a bold lip from See Jane Blush, the model bride exuded elegance and style. The groom’s velvet tuxedo jacket had our heads turning too! A mix of black and gold pigments seen through details such as the stationery and china was eased by a romantic floral palette from Finch and The Sprout. Just wait until you see the ceremony arrangements in addition to how the tablescape and the floors of the venue look together. This look in its entirety is a masterful fusion of art deco influences with romantic twists. See the the best of both worlds as captured by Liza Kirk Photography.

About the Shoot

My vision was to create a soft, feminine take on an art deco inspired shoot. Since art deco design can tend to be pretty dramatic and bold, the goal was for each element to have a soft, delicate touch to it.

The George Washington Hotel, which was built in the 1920s, served as the perfect backdrop with its grand architecture, historic charm, and vintage appeal.

My vision for the cake was very feminine and I wanted it to mimic the art deco pattern of the dress. I knew there was only one person who could pull off the pattern seamlessly. Alex Robba is so insanely talented and his attention to detail is exquisite.

Since I went with a classic 1920s updo, I wanted to keep the makeup simpler, with a soft eye yet a bold lip.

Orr’s Jewelers provided the perfect vintage pieces to compliment the dress. The earrings and the pearl ring truly completed the look.

Finding the right photographer was key. Liza Kirk has this way of portraying her images as if they’ve perfectly been captured in the 1920s. I knew right away that I wanted her on board.

The tablescape adorned art deco touches, such as the china and stationery, but was softened by the romantic floral palette done by Finch and The Sprout. Flowers were the main focus of the shoot, and she absolutely nailed the design.
