A historic venue

A historic venue—such as a museum or landmark—will most likely require little decorations to create a glamorous wedding day aesthetic. The Grand Hall, in Kansas City features resorted brass lanterns, tall ceilings and other historic elements that create a one-of-a-kind setting for “I dos”.

A clean backdrop

A clean backdrop for vows can still ooze romance with the help of a few floral details. We love how greenery crawls down the white drapery in this ceremony setting. It's both eye-catching and whimsical, but doesn't feel overdone.
