Stunning Winter Wedding

The A Touch of Elegance army stormed the Venetian yesterday for a 600 guest wedding set-up; the break down lasted well into the wee hours of the night. Our team of 23 designers and movers used a fleet of trucks to transport fresh florals for installation throughout the venue. Hawaiian dendrobium orchids were tiered and towered up for a seating card table beneath the gorgeous Dale Chihuli glass sculpture.



Other areas were adorned with all white flowers and vases, with gold candles as accents.







Descending the staircase for their reveal of the Palazzo Ballroom, the newlyweds couldn't have been happier with the incredible decor!






Younger guests were seated at long Tuscan-inspired tables flanking the expansive dance floor, to place them at the center of the action. Tall gold candelabra were draped with crystals and the tables shown brightly with candlelight at various levels.





Several square tables added interest to the room layout. They had unique tableware and linens, and featured smaller floral arrangements atop graduated mirrored columns.




The majority of the tables were round with gorgeous crystal candelabra and hanging spheres of hydrangea and spray roses. The stars of these impressive arrangements were perfectly-opened pristine white amaryllis blooms.



For a modern twist, the sweetheart table was completely made of mirrors, with mirrored columns flanking and a monogrammed mirror backdrop. White padding and fabric behind the table, and plush white carpet beneath softened the raised sweetheart table focal area.








Gold laden tableware, runners, and vases matched the ballrooms gold accents and added a richness to the celebration.







Congratulations to Vanessa and Patrick!! Many thanks to them both for including us in on their wedding day. Lisa and I were honored to attend as guests and experience the energy and joy of an incredible evening.
