With a wide range of venues providing an array of different backdrops, Hilton weddings come in all themes, types and colours. When it comes to wedding aesthetics, we think that Hilton is the ideal setting for a ‘Fine Art’ style wedding! Intrigued? Read on to find out more…
What is a ‘Fine Art Style’ wedding?
All weddings are an art to pull off, but here’s what we mean by a Fine Art wedding:
- The style is both classic and traditional
- Beautiful and well-thought-out at every turn
- The decor is designed around nature and organic materials
- Sophisticated and modern
- Above all, the style is intentional
What kind of couple suits a Fine Art wedding?
- Appreciate well-curated events
- Appreciate art and fashion
- High-style
- Inspired by nature
- Have an artistic vision
The key to a Fine Art wedding is that every aspect is intentional, flows well and perfectly placed; using colour theory, hand-selected furniture, fine linens, candles of the perfect shade and unique foliage and flowers.
Here are some other characteristics of a Fine Art wedding:
- Photographed in film for a soft, elegant and dreamy look
- Fine art weddings are both simplistic and sophisticated – instead of flashy decor, you’ll find more natural-looking components (think foliage and beautiful plants, stone and clay vessels and lots of natural surfaces like as stone, brick, wood and marble)
- Fine Art weddings lean more towards soft pastel colours and neutral colour palettes
- The overall look is romantic and soft, with feminine flowers and flowing fabrics
Most importantly, your entire wedding becomes a work of art, with every detail beautiful and creatively assembled. You may have a natural eye for this yourself, or you may need to find a wedding coordinator or decor team who do.
Why a Fine Art wedding in Hilton?
Hilton weddings are just made for the Fine Art feel!
One of the major events for which Hilton is known is the Hilton Arts Festival, the premier arts festival of KwaZulu-Natal and one of the leading festivals in South Africa. The festival is held annually at Hilton College every September and encompasses dramatic performances, music, crafts, fine art, theatre, dance and visual art in all shapes and media. It’s the perfect place to visit to feel inspired for a Fine Art theme. Perhaps you’ll even be able to purchase some key pieces that work perfectly for your Fine Art look.
And did we mention the mist? Hilton is known for its misty weather in summer, which provides a magically soft and romantic setting and photographs beautifully. Although you can’t curate the weather, the mist can add an etherial touch of mysticism and magic to your Hilton wedding day.
Harrington House is situated on the Hilton College Road, only a few kilometres from Hilton College, home of the annual Hilton Arts Festival. It’s a convenient base from which to enjoy the festival, and also an ideal venue to host your Fine Art wedding.
