The groom is an artist and created a stunning sketch of a dragon and a phoenix looking at each other for the escort card wall, a double happiness sign which was transformed to a gobo featured on the oculus of the Mellon during dinner/dancing. 

From silk lanterns, origami cranes as accents, architectural floral pieces - the details and beauty were endless and so personal. 

Not to mention a traditional lion dance as a surprise to the guests. It was a highly personalized event that made it so special to the couple.

Congrats E & K! Stay tuned for more!

Might be the most fun I had on a dance floor thanks to Bad Bunny & a Transformer. But more importantly, this couple's love for each other truly permeated every detail and moment planned in such glorious fashion.

5 months ago, I pitched it

what if we put all 200 guests at ONE looooong table

what if we snaked a serpentine across the entire marble auditorium 

what if the seating chart had no cards and no table numbers and only a map 

they said, hell yah 

so we proceeded to source, rent, hand-measure, and pre-stage 55 tables with 350 feet of linen 

special thanks to @ridgewellsdc and @eventsatmellon for supporting the specs on another one of our never-been-done-before journeys

An enchanted forest inside the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium 🌿✨

The room is stately and formal, which made a garden feel even more unexpected. Greenery spread across the tables, candlelight kept everything warm and low, and lush organic florals were layered with elegant touches throughout. My fave! Even the stationery and place settings got the forest notes. 

I love transforming a space until it’s almost unrecognizable. Immersive design was the goal, and this one was so immersive we forgot we were standing in an auditorium in DC.

For H+N, we brought a little woodland magic to the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium.

Against the grandeur of the room, sprawling greenery and lush florals felt almost as though they’d grown there. Candlelight softened the space, while the paper details and place settings carried the garden all the way to each guest’s seat.

My favorite part? Seeing such a formal setting feel intimate, inviting, and full of life.
