Bold and Moody Wedding Inspiration on the Rooftop

Ready for an added bit of drama to your day? This styled shoot comes to us from a creative team including Carrie King Photography, Banks & Leaf, Flora by Nora, and Perfect Petal and you just know it’s going to be special when there are not one but TWO floral designers on hand. The result is purely dreamy, with a geometric cake as the icing on top.

From the event designer, Banks & Leaf: A labor of love, this shoot brought together some of the best talent in Denver to pull together a look that was refined and modern with a moody edge. With the purpose of showcasing the brand new Halcyon Hotel, we wanted to highlight the elements of the hotel’s decor and structural materials. The hotel is laced with dark rich tones, copper accents, masculine furniture, and neutral colors to play off of.

The rooftop was the obvious focus with views of the city and front range and a crisp clean palette to work with. Here we brought in a bold modern splash of texture, copper and concrete pieces, and soft florals to add a feminine touch. When designing the ballroom, we went with an edgier, artistic vibe: we brought in more copper and concrete, but added in deep blue textural elements and rich wild florals. Another unique design feature was the geometric cake, embellished with copper pieces that peeked through acrylic corners which contrasted beautifully against the dark chocolate fondant. After the styled shoot we invited all our industry friends to the enjoy space and celebrate in style.
