Devon Sanford’s wedding at the Hilton Renaissance was designed with intention, artistry, and a clear visual identity that carried throughout every detail. From the very first paper piece to the final moments of the evening, the celebration unfolded with a sense of cohesion rooted in thoughtful design.
At the heart of the wedding was a custom floral watercolor crest, created as the signature element of the celebration. Softly painted florals framed the crest with organic elegance, balancing romance with refinement. This artwork became the visual thread that tied the entire day together, offering guests a consistent and meaningful design experience from start to finish.
The crest made its debut on the save the dates and invitation suite, setting expectations for a celebration that felt polished and personal. From there, it carried seamlessly into the wedding day details. Menus, place cards, table signs, and a mirror seating chart all echoed the same artwork and typography, creating a layered and cohesive aesthetic that guided guests through the evening with ease.
One of the most striking design moments came when the crest was transformed into a floor gobo. Illuminated across the space, the artwork moved beyond paper and became part of the atmosphere itself. This unexpected application reinforced the importance of a strong design foundation, showing how a single element can live across multiple mediums while still feeling intentional and refined.
Set against the elegant backdrop of the Hilton Renaissance, the stationery and signage complemented the venue’s classic architecture without overwhelming it. Every detail was designed to enhance the space, not compete with it, allowing the crest to quietly anchor the celebration.
