A Whimsical Cat-Themed Wedding at Montsalvat: Celebrating Frank and Miko's Love Story
Nestled in the enchanting grounds of Montsalvat, an artist’s colony and a testament to medieval European architecture in Melbourne, Frank and Miko’s wedding unfolded like a page from a fairy tale, with a delightful twist – a theme celebrating their love for each other and their five cherished cats. The 8th Day Studio had the immense pleasure of planning, styling, and flowering this unique celebration, crafting an unforgettable experience that seamlessly blended romance, whimsy, and a touch of feline grace.
From the onset, Frank and Miko expressed their desire for a wedding that not only commemorated their journey together but also paid homage to their furry family members. The historic and artistic backdrop of Montsalvat, with its lush gardens, stone buildings, and tranquil ambiance, presented the perfect canvas for this distinctive theme. The challenge was to integrate cat-inspired elements in a tasteful and elegant manner that complemented the venue’s natural beauty and the couple’s personalities. The result was nothing short of magical.
The ceremony was held under a beautifully designed canopy, where guests were welcomed by an array of cat decorations that set the tone for the day. Intricate cat silhouettes danced among the floral arrangements, and bespoke cat-themed art pieces added a personal touch, reflecting Frank and Miko’s deep affection for their pets.
The culinary experience was a highlight, with a special focus on desserts. The patisserie chef crafted an assortment of cat-shaped treats, from delicate macarons to sumptuous cakes, each a masterpiece of flavor and design. These whimsical creations were not only a feast for the eyes but also a nod to the couple’s playful side.
The 8th Day Studio’s award-winning floral design team outdid themselves, creating massive, breathtaking arrangements that adorned every corner of Montsalvat. The flowers, chosen for their vibrant colors and textures, complemented the cat-themed decor and added an element of luxury and romance. Candles flickered softly among the blooms, casting a warm glow over the evening festivities and highlighting the intricate details of the menus and table settings, each bearing subtle cat motifs.
