Whether you’re hosting your wedding reception in a ballroom or an outdoor tent, crystal chandeliers will add an air of elegance to any spot. A canopy of chandeliers not only looks stunning but also provides soft lighting that casts a warm glow over the entire evening. Play around with different centerpiece styles to evoke extra drama: Trade out a few arrangements for tall, nonfloral structures such as curly willow or manzanita branches

Look for a venue that’s both glamorous and bold. Opulence is key. The Hotel Du Pont has been hosting lavish soirees since 1913. With two ballrooms to choose from (and the most Instagrammable staircase for pictures) this hotel is perfect for a Gatsby-style party. The larger Gold Ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests and the smaller du Barry room fits up to 150 for smaller more intimate gatherings.
