A Colorful Retro Funky Space Wedding
When it comes to designing your wedding or event, there truly are no rules. At Fierce Productions, we love taking your ideas and bringing them all together into one cohesive design.
A couple reached out to us for assistance planning their wedding. When asked about their vision for the event, they declared:
“…we don't have a super clear vision of what we want the style of the wedding to be, besides a beautiful event that's lush and eclectic and doesn't take itself too seriously”.
Through our meetings and discussions we came up with a solid concept: a Retro Futuristic vibe. To keep things “retro and funky” we incorporated some daring color combinations - reds with oranges, and even some yellows and purples. The colors were gorgeous together. There were bright red flowers upon orange linens and hanging floral decoration to add texture and dimension into the space.
Some Ceremony Inspiration:
For cocktail hour, the couple wanted a speakeasy vibe, with The Jetsons as an inspiration. Another twist! We leaned into the retro aesthetic and incorporated sparkles, neons, and even planets for some futuristic spacey fun.
To add some playful elements, the couple got creative with their seating chart. Instead of a classic foam board, escort cards, or name tags, they commissioned Eleanor Kahn to design glowing, hanging planets with guests’ names and table numbers. Once they found their planet and took them to their seat, they provided the perfect lighting and ambiance for dancing the night away.
Some Dance Party Reception Inspiration:
What was Fierce about this event?
The couple had custom fortune cookies made for guests to enjoy. Instead of fortunes though, inside there were trivia, facts, or fun games inside which encouraged guests to mingle, connect, and “match” cookies with each other.
Instead of a father / daughter dance, it was a father / daughter Juggle. How fun!
For wedding vows, the bride decided to do a slideshow presentation.
There was a live string quartet playing during cocktail hour.
The color palette!
The hanging neon planets that were used for both seating arrangements and dance floor lights.
