BALLROOM ELEGANCE IN CENTRAL LONDON

KNIGHTSBRIDGE, LONDON

VANESSA & DAVID

A CLASSIC GRANDEUR IN A 5 STAR CENTRAL  LONDON VENUE

Vanessa and David’s wedding was a symphony of classic grandeur, where every detail spoke to timeless romance. Against the soaring architecture of a grand cathedral adorned with an 8ft floral arch at the entrance and flowers cascading all the way from the aisles to the altar, their vows resonated with history, tradition and romance. The celebration continued in a candlelit ballroom reception, where an opulent white-and-gold palette, lush floral arrangements, and a grand piano on stage set the scene for an evening of refined elegance.

BALLROOM ETIQUETTE:

When it comes to design, we always start the inspiration by looking at the space. The white and gold adorned walls of The Mandarin Ballroom set the perfect canvas for this elegant reception dinner. Lush white and soft pink florals cascaded across the tables surrounded by glowing candles all over. At AFTR, we love to strike the balance of showcasing an opulent ambience without being ostentatious. With the ornate details of the ballroom and hanging chandeliers, we kept the floral arrangements low. Luxury is not always about having something stand out, but more about creating a thoughtful and layered setting. From the matching gold charger plates and cutlery, all natural flower arrangements,  personalised stationery and wedding favours, we wanted each guest to feel special and dine like royalty. Our bride and groom were lovers of classical music and having a live pianist was one of their early requests. We brought in the grand piano at the stage itself, creating an installation out of something 'practical' which not only brought a touch of elegance to the decor, but also the beautiful music created such a timeless and intimate ambience to the whole evening.
