A Fairytale Come True

If Alice tumbled into Wonderland, then guests at Claire and Austin’s wedding stepped right into a world just as magical—an ethereal dream brought to life beneath the cascading glow of a Wisteria Tiffany lamp. Hosted at the renowned Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, this wedding wasn’t just an event; it was a full-sensory experience, rich with personal history, breathtaking design, and whimsical detail.

For Claire, the inspiration was deeply rooted in memory. As a child, she often watched her father work beneath the glow of the museum’s iconic Wisteria Tiffany lamp, a piece that became both a symbol of nostalgia and the creative muse for the entire celebration. With the visionary team at JLK Weddings at the helm, that memory was transformed into a living, breathing fairytale.

The transformation of the museum’s contemporary space into a lush, hidden garden was nothing short of miraculous. Enter Tanarah Luxe Florals, whose team worked magic with thousands of blossoms, crafting floral installations that dripped from the ceilings and bloomed from table tops. What would normally require three days of setup was accomplished in just 14 hours—an astonishing feat of floral artistry.

To complete the scene, Central Arkansas Entertainment curated immersive lighting and brought in custom faux stone stands to elevate the living art sculptures—yes, you read that right. Real performers posed throughout the venue as elegant, animated pieces of art, adding another layer of enchantment to an already surreal atmosphere.

Everywhere you looked, a new detail revealed itself—each one thoughtful, intentional, and infused with love. From the gentle lighting that mimicked the lamp’s glow, to the florals that seemed to bloom in real time, Claire and Austin’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration. It was a world built from memories, artistry, and wonder.

We could talk forever about every last detail (and believe us, we’d love to), but instead, scroll on for some of our favorite moments from this once-in-a-lifetime wedding dream.
