Crystal Bridges Wedding - Claire & Austin

A Fairytale Come True

If Alice fell down the rabbit hole into the magical world of Wonderland, then we had the privilege of walking into the magical world of Claire and Austin’s adventures in the wisteria lamp. Growing up, Claire would see her father working under the glow of the Wisteria Tiffany lamp that was so generously donated to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This lamp became the inspiration utilized by JLK Weddings to transport everyone into a living version of the lamp, so to speak. A beautiful hidden garden in the middle of Bentonville, Arkansas. Tanarah Luxe Florals completely transformed the museum space with thousands of flowers cascading from the ceiling, or rising from the tables, in an installment that would normally take 3 days, and was completed in 14 hours! Along with Central Arkansas Entertainment, who brought in lighting, and helped to fill the space with many details, including faux stone stands for the living art sculptures. That’s right! LIVING ART SCULPTURES! Everywhere you looked there was more and more detail with thought and love put into each one. We could go on and on literally forever about this wedding, but instead, here are some of our favorite moments from what felt like a dream. Full vendor list at the bottom.
