EVENTS AND DESIGN

Taking the woodland setting a inspiration, I designed this invitation in the form of a wooden log, with a naive hand-painted floral motif and a fun swivel twist.

Kemer Country Orman Evi, a small grass area surrounded by woodland, was exactly the kind of rustic country atmosphere the bride and groom were looking for.

The bride and groom wanted to keep the place feeling very relaxed and informal, with traditional wooden furniture and natural local greenery for flowers. I seated young guests near the large dance floor, and older guests sat at flower-shaped table formations under hanging light 'gazebos'.

The couple got married under the trees on a stage covered in ferns, logs, moss and candles.

The family own a ceramics firm so I designed plates for each of the courses.

The family own a furniture-production firm so I worked with the family to custom-design and produce all the furniture.

Mixing the chair styles helped create a more informal boho feel.

Older guests sat at flower-shaped table arrangements beneath 'gazebos' of sparkling fairy lights.

Modern Turkish
welcome party
This Turkish couple based in the US wanted to host their wedding weekend in Istanbul, but for political reasons they felt strongly that it was very important to show their international guests the modern face of Turkey.
For their welcome party at the Four Seasons Bosphorus hotel, they asked us to design a party set-up that hinted at the historical Ottoman past while showing the colour, happiness and fun-loving spirit of all truly patriotic Turks today.
Seen here is a view of the terrace where they would be receiving their guests.
