Getting married in a big city sure does have it’s benefits. You might not have large grass fields to take photos in or giant refurbished barns to say your I Dos, but you do have a vast trove of inspiration right outside your doorstep. Go ahead, look around and really observe the city backdrop that will be in your wedding photos. What do you see? Square windows, rectangle buildings, hexagon tiles in your apartment’s lobby, glass mosaic cityscape that looks like layers of disco balls sparkling against the night sky. No better place then the urban jungle to throw a geometric-inspired wedding. By using your environments natural inspiration, you create a seamless and cohesive aesthetic that fit right in to your industrial reception space. I highly recommend hiring a professional event designer and florist to create the bigger picture for you. Although smaller decor pieces, like cocktail napkins and favors, are easy and fun to DIY using inexpensive supplies in my list below.
