Creating the Golden Eggs – A Salvador Dalí-Inspired Ceremony in Figueres, Spain

For our ceremony in Figueres — the birthplace of Salvador Dalí — we wanted to pay homage to the artist’s unmistakable surrealist spirit. The venue itself, where Dalí spent his childhood summers, became both canvas and muse. Every design decision was guided by the dreamlike eccentricity and rich symbolism that defined his work.

At the heart of the set stood two giant antique eggs, relics from a bygone décor collection, discovered weathered and forgotten. These eggs — a recurring motif in Dalí’s art, symbolizing birth, transformation, and creation — became our centerpiece. We carefully refurbished them: sanding away years of wear, repairing cracks, and restoring their sculptural presence. Then, in the studio, we coated each one in layers of metallic gold paint, applied by hand and spray to achieve a fluid, molten finish that captured the light like liquid surrealism.

The eggs were then placed beneath a rustic wooden pavilion draped in deep cobalt blue and cream fabrics, colors chosen to echo Dalí’s palette of Mediterranean skies and divine absurdity. Surrounding the scene, we arranged wild florals — marigolds, lilies, and lavender — bursting from vintage ironwork and softened by delicate chandeliers and warm lights. The atmosphere became a living tableau: part dream, part memory, entirely Dalinian.

This fusion of antique elements, handcrafted details, and surreal symbolism transformed the ceremony into more than a setting — it became a poetic nod to Dalí’s world, celebrating love, imagination, and the golden strangeness of creation itself.
