In a celebration of queer love and creative genius, Quintin Jancola of Q Jancola masterfully orchestrated a styled shoot that transformed the Tinsmith's solarium into a verdant wonderland. The botanical theme was a vivid expression of identity and innovation, brought to life with a modern palette of green, gray and black. The collaboration with Madison-Milwaukee's finest creatives culminated in a setting that resonates deeply with those dreaming of a wedding both unique and memorable.
The setting was elegantly defined by an invitation suite that balanced elegance with playfulness, featuring monogrammed "Q", elevated fonts, and thoughtful paper layering. The detailed inclusion of personalized vow books embossed with botanical patterns and menus doubling as place cards introduced a personalized touch to the celebration, enhancing the guest experience.
The floral designs elevated the venue's ambiance, with a stunning foam-free floral installation that floated overhead during the ceremony. This arrangement included an array of botanicals that complemented the venue's natural greenery, creating an immersive environment.
As the day transitioned into the evening, the floral arrangements expanded to include tulips and hellebores, which gracefully cascaded over the elegantly set tables. The tablescapes themselves were a showcase of luxury and modern design, featuring sage green taper candles, pleated glass votives and robust floral arrangements that filled the space with warmth and texture.
Each design element, from the black-rimmed chargers and two-toned flatware to the smoke-gray plates and moss-patterned napkins, contributed to a modern, masculine aesthetic, while the cake's textured design drew from the solarium's industrial elements to make a striking statement.
