This Inspiration Session is Where Modern Meets Boho

Modern design tends to be sleek lines, cool colors and the philosophy that less is more. Bohemian design, on the other hand, is all about rich colors, bold patterns and romantic whimsy. The two styles seem complete opposites, but this inspiration session from Clane Gessel and Linen + Lilac proves opposites attract. See how lush florals transform this concrete setting in The Vault!



From Linen + Lilac… Imagine the tulle fog rolling in through the Berkeley Hills on a cool summer evening, surrounding an intimate wedding dinner at the iconic Claremont Club and Spa’s outdoor arbor. Inspired by the rich blue of the hotel’s Hillary-Tenzing room balanced by a softer rose quartz, we drew style inspiration from the hotel’s new modern interiors while giving a nod to the traditional feel for which the Claremont has always been known. An elegant bar backed by Maryanne Moodie’s intricate weavings, delectable bites on modern Heath Ceramics place settings, and a little woven throw for each guest to stay warm while enjoying cocktails and good company, all nestled under a sea of loose, romantic hanging greenery, is the ideal setting for a private wedding celebration or elopement with just your nearest and dearest.
