IN BLISS

Think of it like this: essentially, you are hosting a party. You want all of your guests to feel comfortable, since that will make the evening more enjoyable for everyone. Your friend probably would not have asked if she didn’t think it could potentially cause a problem. If seating her somewhere else does not interrupt your entire seating arrangement, you should put her somewhere else. And if moving her to a new table is just not an option, then the two should not be seated next to each other. Think of it like this: essentially, you

D eta i ls Image courtesy of Skylight One Hanson Lavish neo-classic details paired with geometric intricacies in art deco design, that juxtaposition is one of the reasons this period remains so fascinating. Why not bring some art deco appeal to your wedding? We’ve scoured the U.S. for some of the best art deco venues around the country. Find the details below! Image courtesy of the Willard Intercontinental THE WILLARD INTERCONTINENTAL WASHINGTON, D.C. Upon entering the hotel lobby, the first word that comes to mind after one regains her breath is: grand. This sumptuous classical hotel as we know it today opened its doors in 1901 and has retained its lavish beaux-arts style since then. Be sure to check out the Red Robin and Scotch Bar for art deco detailing. The Willard is known for their staff and exceptional five-star service, so it’s no surprise that everything in their wedding package is customizable. The maximum guest list for a seated reception with dancing is 300. Wedding packages start at $195.00 per plate. 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, District of Columbia 20004; 202-628- 9100 THE RALEIGH HOTEL Miami, Florida The hotel equivalent of a glamorous hipster but in the nineteen twenties. Miami is the quintessential spot to find art deco architecture in America, but none put on a classier wedding than the Raleigh Hotel. Rent the ballroom and get the views of the famous scalloped pool from its giant windows. The enamel black and orange striped columns are reminiscent of the jazz age but still maintain their simple cool. Stay a few extra days and rent the exclusive “Art Deco Suite” that boasts 580 square feet of historic décor in ocean hues and private beach access. Call for wedding package price quotes. 1175 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139; 305- 534-6300 SKYLIGHT ONE HANSON Brooklyn, New York This venue is truly a masterpiece. With interior spaces clad in 22 varieties of Italian marble and 63 foot tall ceilings, and meticulously appointed mosaic ceilings that could be in a museum this is truly a place that will impress your guests. Have guests order cocktails through the old bank teller windows. Hang out in the basement’s old vault that once foiled a robbery with its 60 ton door. Skylight One Hanson can accommodate 100 to 500 guests for a dancing and dinner reception. Rental prices start at $15,000 with a discount for residents of Brooklyn. 1 Hanson Place, at Ashland Place, Ft. Greene; 718-230-0400 Image courtesy of The Raleigh Hotel IN BLISS 61
