Production Technology: 1. Lots of warm-tone flowers and fairy tale elements (butterflies, the moon, firefly-like lights, etc.) reproduce the quietness and beauty of the forest.
2. The main stage mimics a Western-style church with traditional Chinese wooden structures, aided by the interplay of light and shadow to present a flickering visual effect, thus creating a sense of uniqueness and mystery.
3. The meandering catwalk echoes the ladder structure on the main stage, deepening the visual depth and layering.
Design Challenge: How to deliver a unique visual and emotional experience by integrating the Western romance-oriented design concept into the venue with Oriental aesthetics is the design challenge. Chinese wooden structures are applied to construct a Western-style church arch, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere full of oriental charm. Lots of warm-tone flowers add a sense of warmth.
Research: Nowadays a wedding is not only a ceremony but reflects the new couple's attitude towards life and expectations for the future. Drawing inspiration from the Promised Land depicted in the Bible, Canaan Beauty is a romantic, warm, beautiful, and sweet venue, satisfying new couples' personalized needs and aspirations for a better life.
Inspiration: Canaan Beauty is a forest-themed oil-painting garden-styled wedding hall. It is inspired by the good meaning of Canaan in the Old Testament of the Bible, aiming to build an extremely fantastic, beautiful, and romantic wedding hall.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2023 in Heilongjiang.
Operation Flow: The entrance hall is surrounded by flowers that shelter the real door gate, enabling the bride to appear like a fairy walking out of a picture. Walking along the meandering catwalk with exquisite decorations on both sides is just like walking on a path in a serene forest. The main stage mimics a Western-style church with traditional Chinese wooden structures, aided by the interplay of light and shadow to present a flickering visual effect, thus creating a warm and sacred atmosphere.
