Nina & John used the expansive Club at Grandezza to their advantage. The bride, an interior designer, designated different areas of Grandezza for the different segments of the event, each with its own ambience.
The ceremony was held outside in the garden area with music by Seaside Strings. The plain metal arbour was transformed by Signature Florals into a fantasy of braches touched with gold along with dangling crystals. They also added gold branches to the stairway entrance for the processional.
The fireplace in Grandezza's foyer was enhanced with an abundance of candles, crystals and roses in an arrangement designed by the bride's mother, also an interior designer. The cocktail area had hightops with custom-made antique blue and gold linen overlays over honey-gold pintuck linens, accented with candles.
The dining area carried over the honey-gold pintuck linens from Connie Duglin Linens and candles with amazing centerpieces highlighted by sunset colored roses. Roses were also placed on each guest's napkin.
The party continued into a separate ballroom designed with an elegant nightclub feel for dancing and dessert. With black candelabras accented with crystals on the lounge tables and more candles to add to the ambience, the dance floor was bustling to the tunes of DJ Kevin Smith and karaoke from the bride, family and friends.
A special touch was a characaturist creating cartoon drawings of the guests which everyone enjoyed a dessert buffet of wedding cake, key lime pie and a chocolate fountain.
