At the suggestion of Adolf Frey and architect Gustav Gull, Welti was commissioned in July 1901 to design a frieze for the wedding room of the new town house in Zurich. Painted from Easter to the beginning of June 1902, the designs were not executed due to financial considerations. In June 1904, Welti added the 'Wedding' and the 'Bridal Carriage' in the spaces provided for the windows.
