My niece Lauren asked me to design her wedding, and the big challenge really was that the church she was getting married in wasn’t that photogenic. So my strategy was to draw the eyes away from the 80s teal carpet. I strung hundreds of silk rose petals that we suspended above the pews, so it would look like petals were falling on Lauren as she walked down the aisle. It was a really ambitious plan, and I was halfway hoping she, or the church, would veto the idea, but everyone said yes, so I had to deliver. It turned out beautifully, and it was so sad when we had to take it down right after the ceremony.
