lIVE DESIGN Calls

Watch your custom wedding installations take shape to scale in real time.

We were the first in our industry to introduce live, collaborative design calls, and it started with a simple frustration: we knew there had to be a better way to experience the design process.

We never wanted to send our clients a PDF full of renderings and leave them to interpret every detail on their own, or figure out how to put their thoughts into a long revision email.

Instead, we sit down together and walk through every concept: why it was designed that way, how each detail contributes to the larger composition, and where we can take it next. Every custom wedding installation is rendered to scale, so you can understand not only how it will look, but how it will actually exist within your space. Then, we design live.

Wallpaper, color, typography, lighting, décor, proportion—we can explore and adjust the details together as the conversation unfolds. Doing this well requires us to design, problem-solve, and make creative decisions in real time, but that's exactly the point.

You get to experience the possibilities as we see them, while still having an expert lead the way.

How It Feels to Work With Us

Grounded From the First Conversation

From the moment you reach out, we take the time to understand what matters to you, your aesthetic, your priorities, and how you want the celebration to feel. You don't need to arrive with all the answers. That's what we're here for.

Where the Vision Takes Shape

You bring us your world, not a Pinterest board. Through conversation, we begin connecting the colors, places, objects, memories, and details that feel like you, then translate them into a design you couldn't have simply found somewhere else.

Precision in Every Step

Once the design is established, we take care of what happens behind the scenes—from material sourcing and engineering to fabrication, finishing, logistics, and installation. You stay informed without having to manage the complexity behind it.

The Moment It All Becomes Real

This is where months of design and craftsmanship come together. We handle the installation from start to finish, bringing every element into the space exactly as intended, so when you arrive, all that’s left is to experience it.

What Sets Us apart

and makes every project distinctly yours

When you book Laconic, you’re booking us. Dana serves as the artist and designer behind every project, while Ethen leads the craftsmanship and fabrication, and we remain personally involved from the first concept through fabrication, finishing, and installation.

Keeping every project closely connected to our own artistry and craftsmanship allows us to create custom wedding installations and details with a level of quality, intention, and personalization that would be difficult to achieve through mass production.

Let’s Design Something Unforgettable

Whether you’re envisioning a sculptural focal point or a fully immersive environment, we’re here to guide the process from start to finish, with intention, clarity, and creativity.
