Line the Aisle with Textured Greenery

Instead of traditional fabric runners, line your ceremony aisle with rows of lush greenery. The rich green fronds add incredible texture and movement to the space, creating a natural pathway for your processional.

Design a Show-Stopping Floral Arbor for the Bride’s Grand Entrance

Positioning a grand structural arbor at the back of the ballroom completely transforms the ceremony experience. Wrapping the frame in delicate white drapery and layering it with crisp white roses, soft hydrangeas, and trailing eucalyptus creates a gorgeous threshold for your grand entrance. This architectural floral piece beautifully frames the bride against Villa Venezia’s sweeping staircase.

Sweetheart Table Focal Point Design

Carry your ceremony greenery and warm lighting into the reception with a sweetheart table overflowing with all your design elements. Positioning your table beneath a dedicated backdrop, featuring twinkling fairy lights, a cascading floral header, and warm candlelight at varying heights, softens the grand scale of the ballroom.
