Any fine art enthusiasts out there looking for the perfect way to incorporate modern art into your wedding?

Our bride and groom (a real couple who tied the knot just a week later!) look sleek and elegant while the ceremony backdrop and reception florals pop against the bright white space, requiring little embellishment to complete the scene.

Just beyond Robertson Quay, Singapore, inside an unassuming warehouse building, lies a minimalist-chic art gallery. This light-filled space with white walls and inviting multi-dimensionality provided the perfect blank canvas for a modern art inspired wedding editorial. Our response was a modern, minimal wedding aesthetic with flourishes inspired by the work of artists we admire. This shoot was made entirely possible by the hard work and top-tiered talent of an incredible team of passionate local creatives.

Curated abstract artwork hanging from the gallery walls provided a backdrop to inimitable sculpture-like florals with tropical Southeast Asian overtones. For the couple’s solemnization backdrop, This Humid House sought to create a wall-mounted installation that had the gravity of one of Robert Morris’s felt sculptures. Foraged seaweed contrasted with the delicate flowers of petrea volubis, whose expressive vines were harnessed for their dynamism. As the bride and groom approached two large white doors leading to a private inner room, a sense of mystery unraveled into wonder as they discovered an awe-inspiring botanical installation suspended above the table, like a Julie Mehretu painting with floating planes and multiple perspectives.

It was a kind of suspension of lightness and joy by way of clouds of bougainvillea, interrupted by shocks of color and a cacophony of unexpected ingredients—beans, rocks and gourds. The playfulness above was extended to the table beneath with simple arrangements strewn against chunks of wire-cut clay, and rich, oversaturated piles of turmeric, influenced by the work of Anish Kapoor. These intermingled with carefully curated earthy ceramic plates, understated black taper candlesticks, a texturized wedding cake replete with delicate edible lunarias, and a flattering invitation suite, which helped echo our theme throughout the shoot.
