Context is everything. The setting in which we see something colors our appreciation and opinion of it. When the Utah Museum of Fine Arts needed to update the building to accommodate the latest in conservation technology, the galleries were reconfigured to better suit the diverse art collection and the walls received dazzling new colors. What better way to show off beautiful rooms than with beautiful clothes? And whether you are the bride or attending the wedding, we think everyone should look great at the wedding. So we framed the eye-popping creations of local Utah designers within the new UMFA. Bask in the beauty.
