Justine and David imagined their celebration at Rosewood Miramar as a meeting of a chic Parisian fête and contemporary Montecito. Working with Lynden Lane Events, we developed a design that could move with guests throughout the evening, revealing itself differently as each part of the celebration unfolded.
Cocktail hour took its cues from a French bistro. Custom floral paintings echoed Mindy Rice’s cascading arrangements, first appearing as panels along the bar, while a chocolate-shop-inspired escort display invited guests to discover their table assignments beneath illustrated truffles. The same floral pattern reappeared on dinner menus, creating a thread between each experience without repeating them in quite the same way.
Dinner held a clue to what was coming next: hidden within the menus was a password granting guests entry to the after-party. From there, the aesthetic began to evolve. Signage introduced a roaring-twenties-inspired transition, and dancers led guests through a cake room where the floral pattern reappeared as wallpaper... and when guests pulled back the velvet curtain of the cake room, they found themselves entering a modern-day speakeasy.
What began as a floral painting became a thread guests could follow throughout the evening, each iteration revealing a little more of where the celebration was headed.
