About these weddings. Vow & Velvet is a fictional studio, so every wedding, couple, detail and caption on this page is sample content written for a concept project by Statica Design Agency. The photographs are stock imagery by independent photographers; see the credits.

A spring wedding for 140 at a private estate in Winter Park. The team restored the garden’s original terrace for a ceremony beneath the live oaks, then moved the evening indoors to a single long table dressed in garden roses, taper candles and pale linen.

An autumn evening in a glass-roofed conservatory in Orlando. The palette was claret, amber and candle-smoked green: a silk-draped sweetheart table, a ballroom lit by chandeliers and tapers, and a first dance timed to the minute the last light left the glass.

Destination and Partial

Sixty guests, bare feet and a cathedral-length veil on Florida’s Gulf Coast. We planned the ceremony around the tide table, kept the arch to one sweep of white, and served supper beneath the palms as the string lights came on.

Destination and Design

A three-day destination wedding for thirty-two guests between the Dolomites and Venice. We arranged a private boat to a hidden cove, a gondola to the ceremony and a supper on a villa terrace, with transport, translation and a welcome dinner handled quietly in the background.

Partial Planning

A winter garden supper for 96 beneath a live oak in Orlando. The couple had their venue and their florist; we built the timeline, managed the vendors and styled the tables with dahlias, anemones and low candlelight.
