Mid-Mod Glam & Gay Wedding

Mike & Garret Ironworks Denver

Mike & Garrett’s Luxe Black & Gold Wedding at Ironworks Denver
​
Mike and Garrett’s wedding was nothing short of iconic. Set against the moody, gilded backdrop of Ironworks in Denver—a venue that channels 1920s grandeur with a modern twist—their day was a full-on celebration of love, luxury, and impeccable style. With a glam black and gold palette, mid-century modern details, and a nod to vintage Art Deco flair, their wedding was bold, intentional, and dripping in elegance.
The venue itself set the tone: Ironworks is the kind of place that whispers Gatsby-era glamour with exposed brick, ornate gold trim, statement lighting, and velvet textures. It was the perfect canvas for Mike and Garrett’s vision—equal parts moody drama and timeless sophistication.
Their ceremony was framed by a stunning floral installation in rich, deep tones: black calla lilies, dark plum ranunculus, toffee roses, and dried accents in gold and champagne. We added sculptural greenery, preserved ferns, and metallic touches to elevate the design into something that felt part floral, part fine art. The aisle was lined with glowing candles and black glass vases for that ultra-dramatic entrance moment.
Mike and Garrett both wore impeccably tailored suits—classic black tuxedos with gold accents and velvet details that played right into the vibe. Their matching boutonnieres featured black scabiosa, gold-dipped foliage, and a single toffee rose for a touch of softness. Underneath the glam, there was so much heart—and it showed in every glance, every vow, and every moment shared with their closest crew.
The reception? A total showstopper. Tables were dressed in sleek black linens with gold flatware, black glassware, and dramatic low floral centerpieces in tones of merlot, sable, and burnished gold. Vintage glass taper holders added a sultry glow to the room, while bold, geometric stationery nodded to the venue’s mid-mod roots. It felt like a luxe supper club reimagined for a modern love story.
Their first dance under a canopy of twinkling Edison bulbs, surrounded by friends in sequins and sharp suits, was pure magic. The champagne tower was overflowing. The dance floor? Packed. Every detail was curated with intention, from their signature cocktail (a gold-rimmed old fashioned) to the perfectly timed sparkle send-off.
This wedding was the definition of “go big, go bold”—but at its core, it was all about two people who chose to celebrate their love in a way that felt deeply personal and unapologetically them.
If you're dreaming of a wedding with a luxe, editorial feel—where florals, fashion, and venue work together to tell your love story—we’d love to bring that vision to life. Zalea Weddings specializes in artful, unforgettable floral design for modern weddings across Denver and beyond.
