While this wasn't a typical art event, I went to a wedding last night at the historic Grain Exchange in downtown Milwaukee last night and it was so extravagant and wonderful, it basically was an art event. The building was decorated so tastefully and wonderfully with over-the-top large Christmas decorations, combinations of warm and cool spotlights, and beautiful table decorations, not to mention the outfits of the guests! Fashion is not a huge, respected thing in our small city of Milwaukee, but a collection of the few people who do pay attention and can afford it were there. I have never seen so many stilettos in one room in Milwaukee before. But even better than all of that, the bride and groom hired a dancer, Edyta Śliwińska, from Dancing with the Stars to perform at the reception. It was a surprise to all of the guests and the rest of the wedding party, as if the whole thing hadn't been fabulous enough. The dancer was beautiful and did two outfit changes. I have never been able to see such a great dancer up close and in person like that. Being able to shoot it made it even more fun. She had the most flexible legs and was twirling and flinging them all over the place. She did a lot of lifts and twirls with her partner. The whole night was truly breathtaking and no other wedding I have ever gone to or done videography for has been so tasteful and fun.
