I love writing. I love the use of various fonts on my writing. What if I tell you, you could use typography as wedding centerpieces on your wedding reception tables? Would you believe me?
Love, love what David Stark used for table centerpieces here.
David Stark was the event designer for the 125th year anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera, and I LOVE his idea for the centerpieces. “Instead of over-the-top flowers and dripping crystals, fonts were our muse. Exploded, cropped, varied in type and color, the array of graphics not only provided a wonderful walk through the Opera’s historic identities in print but it transformed the tent into a three dimensional collage. Elegant banners gently fluttered above vases and luminaries wrapped with glowing prints from every time period. It didn’t really matter if you could read all of the text. We often cropped at such extreme angles to simply celebrate the sheer form of the lettering and push it into the realm of pattern.”
