At Fox & Quinn, we believe style isn’t about trends or color palettes — it’s about meaning. True wedding style begins with listening, empathy, and emotion. It’s the art of translating who you are into a visual language that feels both timeless and unmistakably yours.
Why every design choice should mean something.
At Fox & Quinn, we believe that style is storytelling, and every design choice in your wedding style should carry meaning — because the most beautiful designs aren’t built from color palettes and flowers; they’re built from people.
The best, most inspired design doesn’t start with “What colors do you like?” or “What’s your favorite flower?” It starts with empathy and curiosity — with listening to who a couple truly is, how they move through the world, and what their love feels like. Our job as designers isn’t to decorate a day; it’s to translate a story into a visual language that feels unmistakably theirs.
Listening Before Designing
Every celebration begins with listening.
A couple is marrying in New Orleans, and most of their guests have never been there — so we draw from Mardi Gras, not for the spectacle, but for the spirit of invitation and joy. They fell in love in Italy, so Italian cuisine becomes a quiet throughline of the weekend. Their self-described aesthetic? Hailey Bieber meets James Bond. So the design blends minimalism with indulgence — modern restraint, layered with a little vintage glamour.
That combination isn’t random. It’s their story, told in texture, tone, and tempo.
To design well, you have to listen deeply — not just to what a couple says, but to what they mean. You have to hear the spaces between their words and translate emotion into form. That’s where design begins to hum — when it feels like something before it looks like something.
Translating Personality Into Form
Every couple brings their own rhythm. Our role is to find the visual language that matches it.
A Parisian engagement, an Aspen wedding — candlelit romance against architectural restraint. She’s a gallerist, he’s a sommelier — their tablescape becomes an installation of stone, linen, and sculptural florals, each seat curated like conversation. Another couple grew up on opposite coasts — we built a palette of fog, sand, and shell, letting light mimic that soft coastal dusk.
Each design begins as a narrative thread, then unfolds visually through palette, proportion, and texture. The story is always the constant; the style is how we tell it.
Collaboration as Storytelling
Designing through story isn’t a solo pursuit — it’s a conversation.
We’re transparent with our creative partners from the start. We share the design brief, invite them into the concept early, and collaborate on how the story can evolve through each discipline — florals, stationery, lighting, texture, food. The florist isn’t just making arrangements; she’s shaping emotion. The calligrapher isn’t writing names; he’s setting tone.
Every vendor becomes part of the narrative architecture. And that shared understanding is what makes a wedding feel cohesive — like a single creative thought expressed through many hands.
When the Story Speaks
There’s a feeling you get when you know the design is going to land.
You can feel it in the room before the first guest walks in — the way the light hits the linen, the way the air feels charged with anticipation. The couple hasn’t even arrived yet, but somehow, the space already feels like them. That’s when we know the story is speaking.
At its best, design is empathy made visible. Style is simply how the story speaks.
