EVENTS AND DESIGN
A private house on the Bosphorus with a garden dominated by a large swimming pool.
The well-known couple wanted a wedding design that was suitably royal in style.
Even in summer, houses on the Bosphorus often get high winds, so I designed a way of supporting the arches by hiding their connecting parts under false flooring.
My dance floor design was based on old garden floor patterns, with the couple's monogram in the centre.
For the wedding ceremony, the couple stood in front of the garden gates.
The couple's monogram was embroidered on to the napkins and printed on the fans.

'Palace garden' wedding
This bride and groom wanted to get married in their own garden, but to keep all their family and friends happy, they needed to find space for than 200 guests. Rather than squeeze long narrow tables around the edge of the pool, I designed a decor that involved covering the pool with false flooring and hiding the lighting rig in a truss system disguised as garden arches.
