Bridal Shower - Michigan

Our wedding is taking place at the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, better known as The Domes. It is a living museum filled with plants from across the globe. Be warned, the flowers in the domes are in full bloom in May! We recommend taking something if you have allergies.   The Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory project began in 1955 with a design competition that attracted 33 architects from all over the world. A traditionally-trained Milwaukee architect, Donald L. Grieb, won the competition with his futuristic design for three beehive-shaped (conoidal not geodesic) glass domes all connected by a lobby area. Each dome would be 140 feet in diameter at the base and 85 feet high, offering 15,000 square feet of growing space for plant display. Construction began in 1959 and proceeded in six stages.   Each dome was completed in a staggered fashion with the Floral Show Dome in 1964, the Tropical Dome in 1966 and the Desert Dome in 1967. First Lady, Mrs. Lyndon B. (Lady Bird) Johnson dedicated the Mitchell Park Domes in the fall of 1965.
