Playing with Colour at the Vancouver Club

Jen + Nav’s wedding design was about as colourful as they come and this is one DreamGroup’s Jessie Kumagai will not soon forget! Rich jewel tones of royal blue, aquamarine, and fuchsia came together in the most unexpected way!  With the direction of Koncept Event Design the venue was transformed into a colourful and dreamy space. Velvet draperies upped the luxury ante along with dramatic gold lanterns creating a fabulous east-meets-west fusion design for Playing With Colour at The Vancouver Club.

It was important to Jen that the wedding feel classy, rich & decadent. She wanted to incorporate some of the brighter colors that are typically found in Indian weddings, balanced with ‘western’ textiles. The tone for their “Indian fusion” wedding was set with their beautiful invitation suite created by Cornwall Stationery, incorporating gold-gilded florals, inspired by Moghul-era Indian architecture, and classic navy and white tones.

With Jen being Caucasian and Nav Indian, they wanted to have a western wedding with an Indian flair.  They wanted the wedding to be a unique and joyous occasion that their friends would remember for years to come. The entire celebration took place at The Vancouver Club with the ceremony in the Lobby, cocktails in the Bar & Grill, and dinner/dancing in the Ballroom.

The couple made their grand entrance into the Ballroom with Bhangra music immediately followed by a fantastic & lively Bhangra dance group that thrilled guests. After the Indian-inspired grand entrance, they wowed the guests a little further with the sabering of a champagne bottle.  Champagne was then served to all guests in time for the welcome toast.

The ceremony & reception set-up were absolutely stunning with jewel-toned florals in hot pinks, purples & burgundy, combined with lush velvet fabric for the linens & draping in a deep shade of royal blue. To bring that “Indian flair” we incorporated tons of Moroccan-style gold lanterns in a variety of shapes and sizes.  They lined the ceremony aisle and were hung from the chandeliers in the ballroom. We also featured them in a beautiful lounge set up in the alcove of the ballroom.  The lounge was draped with blue velvet fabric and had Moroccan-style furniture and gold poufs for guests to sit on.
