Vivid Reverie by BW Studio + Events
Led by BW Studio + Events, this Designers’ Challenge team indulged in a vivid reverie of color, texture and rich historical details. Hosted at Colvin House, Bryte Media beautifully captured the artistic visions of BW Studio + Events, CMB Catering, Creative Cakes, Marquee Event Rentals, MAXE Designs and Town & Country Gardens.
The team drew inspiration from Colvin House’s rich history and architectural treasures. Situated along the lakefront, this 1909 Prairie-style mansion was built by architect George Maher, a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. To play off of the venue’s intricate features—like ornamental columns, a statement marble fireplace and bright stucco walls—the team embraced a palette of jewel tones intertwined with lush greenery for their design.
The cake, mirroring the venue’s ceiling textures, bespoke hand-painted stationery, and blooming prairies of vibrant flowers all contributed to a contemporary yet historically resonant ambiance. Through a fusion of textured accents and bursts of ruby, amethyst, topaz and sapphire, the team’s design promises to make its own mark in history.
Couples are looking for color again, and we wanted to showcase that it can be done elegantly.
