Kat Creech Events won the NACE One award for “Best Wedding of the Year” (budget greater than $100,000) for this April 2016 art deco-infused event. Creech says the bride and groom “liked the idea of a not-so-literal ‘Gatsby’ inspiration, but wanted to focus on the dreamer vibe of the era. They loved the minimal use of color and maximum use of different texture.”
