Marriage a la Mode
In celebration of our exhibition Mother Was the Bride, Lacis presents an extraordinary wedding and special-occasion faire devoted to avant-garde expression, one-of-a-kind artistry, bohemian craftsmanship, and timeless romance.
Designed for your unique coupling adventure — whether hand-clasping, jumping the broom, marking a civil union, or inventing a ceremony entirely your own — this event celebrates love beyond tradition.
Meet talented independent artists creating breathtaking jewelry, bespoke and luxurious perfumes, veils of every description, and eye-catching ceremonial adornments. Alongside these makers, Lacis will offer selections from our own collections, including antique lace, vintage wedding dresses, orange blossom garlands, modern veils, and rare adornments steeped in history.
Vendors from across the Bay Area include Dark Garden, Glitter Done, Holly Bobisuthi, Rachael Heiman, Studio Trousseau, and LeLi Studio.
Throughout the day, guests will enjoy demonstrations and moments of inspiration — a rare opportunity to explore meaningful pieces for life’s most beautiful moments.
For the bohemian bride, the alt couple, the fairy-festival romantic — we’ve got you covered.
