When the bride and groom had the opportunity to hold their wedding reception in a newly constructed high-rise building in downtown Sacramento, they jumped at the chance.

Wedding in the sky

With the help of Classic Party Rentals, the unfinished office space on the 25th floor was transformed into a contemporary event site. Guests exited the elevators and entered the reception area through double doors gracefully swagged with 12′ high bengaline moiré drapes in a natural color. A sea of round tables covered with floor-length ivory satin, dotted with a family of contemporary stemware, filled the room. Fresh cut white floral centerpieces in short and tall clear vases echoed the look and simplicity of a traditional wedding reception with a distinctly updated flair.

The décor concept capitalized on the building’s angular lines by using the open beam ceiling and framed floor-to-ceiling windows as design elements. Round dining tables, globe-shaped white Chinese lanterns, and soft fabric draping completed the wedding site. Walnut-colored Chiavari chairs with ivory cushions grounded the furnishings and gave the room décor a sense of completion. Scenic views of California’s Capitol building were prominent from each of the 250 guest seats.

Catering by Mama Kim Cooks was fabulous.
