Enjoy and dream about the warmer weather as we hear from Bella Notte who helped design this fabulous Spy Museum wedding!

Like many couples in recent years, Jessica and Joe were legally married by the time they hosted this celebration, so they knew the focus was going to be having a big party! Originally, Jessica wanted to go very classic with all white, but we pushed her to consider adding some color in. The cocktail hour bar at The Spy Museum is a bold red and we pushed Jessica and Joe to pull that into their wedding design. After considering it, the couple knew red would be fun in the space and we ended up not only using it during cocktail hour but carrying it through throughout the day. We mixed in touches of red and pink with white and accents of black, being careful to maintain the classic and elegant feel that Jessica had wanted from the beginning. At the end of the day, Jessica said the space was more beautiful than she'd imagined it would be.

Since the party was so important to them, we placed the dance floor at one end of the room and opened that wall, flowing into an outdoor lounge with a custom bar, to give guests a place to mix and mingle when breaking from the dance floor.

Having the lounge space was very important to them, so in the world of smart things you can't see but that will keep you sane, Jessica and Joe book a tent to install, should the weather not cooperate on the wedding day. This way they could utilize the lounges no matter what; luckily we had amazing weather and we were able to keep the outdoor space completely open.
