INTRODUCING
DY LAN Meet Dylan. She’s a real wild child—free as the wind blows and tough as nails. She likes punk rock and her whiskey straight. She doesn’t run with the boys— they run with her. Ask where time’s best spent and you’ll get one answer: the open road. But don’t be fooled. Under the layers of leather, there’s a sweet side that’s soft as lace. Cork Collection is a visual series dedicated to showing the versatility of Cork Factory Hotel as a wedding and event space. Whether your style is mod and pop, glamor and gold, leather and lace, or a bit of everything, you’ll find the historic charm of Cork Factory Hotel to be the perfect canvas for any celebration. As you flip through the following pages, we hope Dylan’s world fills you with inspiration, ideas, and excitement.
ACT ONE
T H E S H OW E R Somewhere between studded leather and neon paint, lies Dylan’s style— like her, bold and unexpected. Her shower is an explosion of colorful splatters and sharp geometry, sweetened with designer candy and drinks so hard they’ll knock socks off. Every detail is a work of art—even cakes and desserts look as if they were plucked off the walls of a Brooklyn gallery. Received by tears of laughter, Dylan thanks her guests for riding by her side but warns them in jest that the adventure is just beginning.
IN PUNK
Make a splash with decor of retro colors like HONEYCOMB BALLS, SPLATTER PAINT VASES, AND PATCHES PLACEMATS. Finish off the look with SUGARFINA GUMMIES and gifts tied up with DIAMOND STUDDED WRAP, then blast off with CONFETTI CANNONS.
are a work of art and should be displayed like one—this GREY CAKE STAND does the trick. When it comes to florals, they don’t have to be traditional or fussy—go edgy, spiky, and wild. CUSTOM PAINTED MACARONS
ACT TWO
THE BACHELORETTE PARTY On a hot summer evening, dirty jokes are told, bottles are popped, and memories are made. The wild night is kicked off by painting the town red—or at least the hotel room. Over-the-top balloons, mountains of treats, and playful decor set the stage for Dylan’s last fling before the ring. With a slice of pizza in hand, she raises a glass to the girls who have always had her back.
Typographic LIQUOR BAGS and STRIP HE GLASSES aren’t required to have fun, but definitely take things to the next level. Get a room—motel-style KEYCHAINS are fun and functional gifts and come in assorted colors and sayings. Simple decor like black and white HONEYCOMB BALLS can make an appearance in multiple parties.
When you just can’t choose, mix and match FLASKS, COMPACTS, AND NAIL POLISH in lovely hues. Why do cakes always get all the fun? A mountain of donuts is just as worthy of a TOTALLY RAD CAKE TOPPER. Meet pizza’s best friend—MARBLED PAPER PLATES, a poppy take on traditional disposables. Kiss boring favors goodbye—BACHELORETTE RIBBONS are the perfect tongue-in-cheek gifts. Think larger than life when it comes to balloons. DECOLINK BALLOONS come in multiple colors for total customization.
ACT THREE
THE REHEARSAL Just before the big day, there is a gathering to celebrate good things that are yet to come. In between the concrete and metal, her soft side is exposed— gold ribbon and jewel tone florals dance on tabletops alongside bite-sized treats and champagne cocktails. The sun outside is beating, the room is aglow with candlelight, and smiles are brighter than the stars, but the warmth radiates from Dylan.
CONCRETE
An “I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-concrete” CEMENT CAKE is as delicious as it is realistic and mingle seamlessly with NEWPORT CUBE cement vases. Displayed on a WOODEN CAKE PEDESTAL and accented with live florals and AUBERGINE CAKE SERVERS, guests will deem this treat anything but ordinary. F inish the look with FLORAL PLACEMATS and CHALKBOARD PLACECARDS.
ACT FOUR
THE CEREMONY The ceremony is a cinematic sight—a post-apocalyptic wonderland fabricated from metal and chains, taken over by vines and lush florals and drenched in moonlight. But among the grunge, Dylan is a ray of light floating down the aisle dressed in angelic lace. On this day, she has traded her ferocious eyes for gentle ones blurred with tears of joy. Her passion is fiercer than ever as she affirms her love, and forever begins before she knows it.
Sneak in something blue with moody ODEON NAIL POLISH. Overgrown ferns, vines, and florals add natural elements to suspended metal grates, fences, and panels. Painter’s dropcloths are a fresh take on traditional aisle runners. Get things aglow at the altar with candlelight in copper TAJ DISPLAY BOXES and dramatic uplighting.

Create a one-stop-station for cards and gifts using a caged industrial cart. SPLATTER VASES, QUANTUM VOTIVES, and a PINK STAINED LEDGER guestbook mix perfectly with painter’s dropcloths. Boxwood greens and pops of neon color add playful elements to an otherwise rusty scene.
Sneak in some sparkle with DIAMOND STUDDED WRAP on the bouquet. Put the petal to the metal with an uncommon ride—tie tin cans wrapped in DOTS & COLOR GIFT WRAP with layers of ribbon to the back of a motorcycle for a flashy getaway.
ACT FIVE
THE RECEPTION Dylan’s grand celebration works its way through sunset and into nightfall—colors change as the energy builds. Rust, roses, concrete, and copper create layers of color and texture. Hobnail votives and studded glassware sit upon textured linens. Scarlet candlesticks drip while the party goes on, leaving behind evidence of an all-night affair. The room rocks out ‘til the clock runs out. And when it’s all said and done, it’s safe to say the crowd had fun.
IN THE S TA R S
Continue the metallic theme with a RAW NICKEL cake—and RUSTICO CHAMPAGNE BUCKET.
PEDESTAL —the
perfect complement to a constellation
Anything can be a bar on wheels—even a welder’s cart. Style with an LED CINEMA LIGHTBOX, HERS-HISAND-OURS DECANTER & GLASSES, ANTIQUE BRASS CANDLESTICKS, and AMETHYST FINGER BOWLS. Concrete cinderblocks act as pedestals for displaying antiques, photos, or sweet treats.
Set a moody table with BLACK RASPBERRY PLATES, PURPLE STUDDED GOBLETS, contrasting linens, MARBLE CANDLEHOLDERS —which doubled as Dylan’s unity candle at the ceremony—and copper TAJ DISPLAY BOXES. Desserts are a piece of cake with an OLD-FASHIONED ACRYLIC CAKE KNIFE & SERVER SET.
Greet guests at the table with ROOSEVELT PLACE CARDS and GLASSINE FAVOR BAGS , tied with METALLIC THREAD and BRAIDED METALLIC RIBBON. Black-on-black CUSTOM GIFT TAGS seal the deal.
When old typography meets new, visual interest is created—combine MR & MRS CHAMPAGNE FLUTES, TENTED TABLE NUMBERS, and a vintage motorcycle gas tank for an unexpected and unique experience.
