With wedding season in full swing, we’re turning to one of the incredible celebrations we've had the privilege to help shape. This year, we were honoured to be part of a truly special occasion at the V&A South Kensington, brought to life alongside the talented Golborne Collection team.

Harnessing our technical artistry we brought Golborne’s creative vision to life, meticulously balancing every detail – from bespoke lighting and pristine sound to perfectly timed entertainment. As always, our design philosophy centred on thoughtfully enhancing the unique features of the space to create the desired atmosphere, ensuring each detail complements, rather than competes with, the inherent beauty of the venue.

In perfect parallel, Golborne Collection led the planning and design with remarkable creative insight, weaving a narrative that echoed the couple’s shared love for art, London, and the historic V&A Museum. Their concept was layered, expressive, and deeply personal.

“The couple loved art, fashion, and florals, and wanted the weekend to reflect their world in a personal but elevated way. We pulled colour inspiration from a Raphael Cartoon and created a ‘Winter Garden’ concept that captured the magic of London in that season.” – Golborne Collection

Within the Raphael Court, refined lighting illuminated floral arrangements and intricate details, whilst a subtle patterned ceiling wash added drama without distracting from the intrinsic character of the gallery. Later, The Dome underwent a dazzling transformation from elegant cocktail reception to vibrant afterparty, with lighting reimagined to mirror the bride’s stunning second dress, setting an electric tone that kept the dancefloor busy well into the night.

“From my perspective, it was the overall style and décor that truly took this celebration to another level. The Raphael Court looked breathtaking, and the elegant draping in the Dome completely transformed the space. It was a perfect blend of sophistication and elegance, making full use of the Museum’s grandeur.” – V&A South Kensington

The magic of the day resided in its seamless execution, a testament to the cohesive partnership that brought it to life. Driven by a singular creative vision, every supplier involved – from planners and florists to musicians, the venue, and our own production team – meticulously orchestrated each element, ensuring a truly undeniable energy flowed through the entire celebration that truly transcended the couple’s vision!

“Our wedding was a dream come true and far exceeded our expectations,” the bride shared. “It was the most magical, stunning, beautiful weekend of our lives. Everything was absolutely perfect and unforgettable.” – Ingrid & Jeff

As this year’s summer wedding season gathers momentum, our team are looking forward to partnering on countless celebrations, creating unforgettable moments, and filling dance floors!
