Contemporary Artists Nicole Coson and Kristian Kragelund welcomed a creative and international crowd to their East London wedding weekend. This wedding featured contemporary fashion designers who are creating work at the vanguard of modern design alongside a vintage piece by Galliano for Dior.
The whole wedding weekend was planned and designed by Liz Linkleter Events. Kicking off their wedding weekend with a relaxed welcome event at Brat x Climpson’s Arch in the heart of London Fields, Artists Nicole and Kristian welcomed friends from around the globe with bespoke cocktails, and seasonal food cooked over wood fired ovens in the open plan space. Floral design by Yinari incorporated sculptural mushrooms and each guest was sent home with a custom hangover pack in their signature wedding colour of red.
Guests received an invitation suite designed by Sixfold Studio which featured the signature colour for the wedding - red.
The Invitations
Bridal beautyWe spent just a few moments prior to the ceremony capturing some film stills of Nicole. Her ceremony look featured a bespoke design in raw natural materials by Filipino fashion designer Carl Jan Cruz. Nicole paired this with Prada shoes and her late Father’s watch. A vintage piece by John Galliano for Dior was sourced for Nicole to wear at the reception later that day. The groom, Kristian, opted for a classic Prada suit.
Nicole’s bouquet was designed by Yinari and featured snake's-head fritillary and black velvet pansy.
