This elegant wedding at the Filoli Gardens perfectly embodied the romantic “Bridgerton aesthetic.” As a graphic designer for Kathleen Deery Design, I created custom, intricate designs that wove into many wedding elements. Each design was thoughtfully tailored to reflect the wedding’s whimsical, floral-inspired theme.

Using Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, I illustrated delicate floral motifs that became the foundation of the wedding’s visual identity. One central focal point was the atrium fabric design. Various floral motifs arranged into a seamless pattern, printed on fabric, and upholstered onto the atrium tent structure. Up close, the fine details of the pattern were captivating, while from a distance, the overall aesthetic created a harmonious, colorful backdrop that complemented the venue’s natural beauty.

Another focal point was the entryway doors. For this, I designed a symmetrical, intricate floral pattern, which served as a stencil template for the hand-painted doors. This bespoke design added a charming touch to the dinner reception entrance, setting an elegant tone for guests as they arrived. Finally, I created the dance floor, incorporating the same floral motifs into a vibrant border and center design, printed on vinyl and stretched across the floor. This centerpiece became a visually striking element at the reception, creating an inviting and memorable space for guests to dance.

Collaborating with the Kathleen Deery Design team throughout the project, both remotely and on-site, gave me invaluable, hands-on experience in event production design. This enriched my design skills and deepened my understanding of translating artistic concepts into large-scale event installations. Contributing to this wedding was an honor and a defining moment in my career, fueling my passion for creating captivating designs that enhance and elevate event experiences.
