Editor's Choice Winner for Best Event Design 2025 Infuses Whimsical Wedding Day with "Legends of Zelda" Design

A masterful blend of whimsy and elegance, the design was inspired by the couple’s shared love of Legends of Zelda and nature. The design featured a whimsical entrance through a hedge maze in the Vibiana courtyard, where guests were welcomed with champagne and serenaded by woodland musicians, including an ocarina player, flutist, and harpist. The ceremony path was adorned with lush greenery and lined with gray and beige ottomans, leading to a romantic backdrop of layered translucent panels nestled among wild flora.

For the reception, the open-air Redbird dining room was transformed into a greenhouse-inspired space with overhead greenery and soft uplighting. Modern string quartet arrangements and a trio of musicians added to the enchanting atmosphere. The evening continued with a relaxed lounge area for dancing and mingling. The design perfectly balanced natural elements, soft lighting and elegant textures, creating a romantic and immersive experience.
