Industrial Wedding Venue

Le Coeur Bohème wanted to stay neutral and play with linen, off-white, wood, and marble. The goal was to create something unique and different playing with a Moroccan feel, while still maintaining an African vibe. This was really important for the shoot because the
real-life couple is African and we wanted to be sure to represented them and their culture.

They chose the space,
Espace Artemia, for its industrial feel. With a modern design,
Espace Artemia is an essential choice for a modern industrial wedding. They loved the mix of elements such as wood and metal, and the black accent wall was a cool feature.
Services Rose Bonbon created gorgeous florals to soften up the the industrial feel of the venue.
