As a group project, this design focused on a wedding venue on Canada Island in Spokane, WA. We worked with landscape architects to determine appropriate plantings and created a plan for a commercial kitchen, storage, public restrooms and bridal party rooms within existing buildings on the site. Our concept for this design was: "The wedding design for Canada Island is like a night sky. The ceremonial area is the main focus of the island, whichrepresents the moon. The gazebos and bride’s garden add hints of sparkle like stars in the night sky. The trees around the ceremonial space and throughout the island allow beams of light to shimmer through their leaves, creating a literal sparkle in the wedding venue. At night, strings of lights will illuminate the island, especially in the reception area. The buildings are central to the preparation and executions of the event. The sparseness of the grapevines on the archway leading up to the ceremony space will allow glimpses of light to shine through and add more of a starlit feeling. The quaking aspens and water birch trees serve as privacy
barriers without completely blocking the view of the river. The natural concept falls in with branding incorporating the moon and the stars. Working off of the color schemes of the new brand the island uses teal gray and yellow colors with spots of red."
After working multiple different designs ideas we developed a final plan for the island as well as the existing buildings and created a poster that displayed a few perspectives of a wedding in motion implementing our design ideas. After completing our posters we presented our designs to Spokane residents and the Faculty of Riverfront Parks new branding team.
