Because of the large open space of the reception site, the desire was to create a more intimate space for the head table, highlighting the stone fireplace. When seated at the table, the tree with its overhanging branches, mimicked the feeling of being inside of an enchanted forest through the use of moss and wicker globes, soft copper wire lights, cascading strands of greenery, ninebark seed pods, and trailing green amaranthus. The tree itself was made entirely of foraged and hand-twisted bittersweet vines, lending to the natural feel.
The goal was to highlight the rich history of Gunstock Resort, the stonework inside the reception space, and the natural beauty of the surroundings.
