The Portland Museum of Art houses a boundless amount of art in its many galleries, but the Great Hall is an austere, vast, sleek space that begs for human intervention. It’s a study in granite and a modern, clean aesthetic making it a perfect foil for the trimmings of a bygone era. So the concept became one of minimal versus lush, juxtaposing elements that seem incongruous until they combine in beautiful harmony…much like love. From Angela Adams’s clad banquettes to vintage mink, the tone was set. Add a big band, classic cocktails, a mélange of gorgeous characters, and you have the makings of a perfect small wedding celebration.
