Rachel A. Clingen’s Modern Garden Tent Wedding at Aga Khan Museum

For Steve and Allesandra's wedding at Toronto's Aga Khan Museum, Rachel A. Clingen Wedding & Event Design created an immersive garden setting that moved from a floral ceremony into a modern tented reception. The design set natural forms against contemporary architectural lines, balancing a sense of abundance with refined structure.

A ceremony framed by meadow-like flowers

The floral environment was conceived as a softly layered garden: abundant arrangements were placed to frame the ceremony rather than obscure it. Their organic silhouettes brought texture and a natural transition between the exterior setting and the event's more structured installations.

A contemporary tent filled with trees

The reception introduced a striking contrast. A black-framed tent established strong architectural lines, while large sculptural olive trees gave the dining space a feeling of an indoor-outdoor garden. Oversized drum chandeliers added warmth above the tables, creating a setting in which floral artistry, furniture and lighting worked as one design.
