al fresco reception scene
One sixteen foot grand dining table dressed in layers of sheer white and ivory linens will be set up under the stephanotis arch. Guests will dine under a canopy of bistro lights, flowers and vines with a large crystal chandelier as a focal point above the table. Smaller standing chandeliers will be set at each end of the table. Table numbers will be fashioned to look like vintage French house numbers. Old World centerpieces of dahlias, peonies and lush garden roses will grace each table mixed with antique candelabra. The ambience will be authentically European to blend with The Terrace architecture. The scene will be that of an al fresco dinner party in an Italian garden. We will fly in a cake from Maggie Austin Cake for the scene as well as letterpress invitations to match the vibe of the setting. Tables will be set with beautifule cutlery, antque glassware and classic style plates from Set Maui.
