about the ceremony hall
Gaia’s Blooms gives a glimpse of a frozen paradise, overflowing with a vibrancy of life and celebrating the ancient earth goddess Gaia.
The room is designed with a whole wall of opulent, oversized flowers in an otherwise simple room. Peonies, honeysuckle, roses, daffodils and bluebells all intertwine to create an abundant and opulent revelry of nature, joy and love.
The complex, delicate and decorative details are held in a strong symmetrical design, giving an overriding sense of balance, calm and simplicity. The forms are lit both from within and without, creating a multilayered spectacle of petals, leaves, shadows and light.
