FLOWER PORTAL

PROJECT

JULIE + ZANE CLAES, 2023

Commission for Private Residence 

Permanent Flower Portal Installation

The Flower Portal came to life with a visual journey of growth—our permanent installation featured a flower bursting from the ground and slowly blossoming. As guests walked down Julie and Zane’s ceremony path, the unfolding bloom became a beautiful symbol of their wedding day. Additionally we created blooming metallic table centerpieces in the same style as the Flower Portal.

Process Details

The Portal piece was made up of many waterjet steel petals and rolled schedule 40 steel pipe. All the pipe was cut to portray a tidal wave movement, then welded to a steel base that was staked into the ground at the property. The color choice was a unique metallic color fade that went from cool to warm colors, all mixed at the shop and executed with a 2K car paint system and high gloss.  To match the Flower theme we fabricated flower table centerpieces to hold finger foods. These 12-18” tall flowers had their leaves bent out to be the surfaces that held various items.
