“Art must be an expression of love or nothing at all” – Marc Chagall
When you started dating, one of the first things you bonded over was a love of going to museums and galleries. Remember how you both could stand in front of a large canvas for what felt like hours, not saying anything, but feeling everything? Use this shared passion as the springboard for a unique ceremony backdrop that brings to mind a captivating abstract painting.
To love someone truly and passionately is art in itself. Combining art and wedding is tricky. The purpose of art is to invoke thought and couples who are fans of Michelangelo, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh, this one’s for you.

For an art-minded couple, each moment is refined yet speaks to the messy creativity of the arts. Enter Fauvism – it’s the first 20th-century movement in modern art, was initially inspired by the examples of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Paul Cézanne that uses bold colors to bring out the rich palette and expand on the opulent feel. Use vivid colors and fun pops of expressionistic details and you have nailed this art theme for your wedding!

One of the biggest art of the 21st century is to embrace minimalism. In times when couples have a lot of options to choose from, championing minimalism is considered an act of art. We love how this couple chooses artistic minimalism as their setup. Organic elements coupled with greenery is giving an enchanting vibe.

It’s all in the details when it comes to incorporating art into your wedding. A calligrapher can magnify the art intensity by beautifully sculpting your words. Take an artsy spin on the traditional card table and welcome guests to the reception with names crafted on a stone or quartz.

Cake designers are baking up big day desserts that are nothing short of a work of art, literally. Sweet wedding treats are hand-painted employing loose, painterly brush strokes to create beautiful, texture-rich designs that look like an impressionist masterpiece. Geode, marble texture, ruffles and wafer paper cake are some of the directions you should take.
Select A Surreal Venue

Try finding a venue with Sistine Chapel vibes—think of a property with Renaissance-inspired paintings or timeless sculptures. One such venue is Aynhoe Park which is full of surreal, extraordinary, quirky and extravagant head-turning props and collectibles. It’s filled with sparkle, glamour and mystery that will surely make you feel like you are time traveling with your beau in a parallel universe.
