The Reception Decor

After the ceremony, Tanya and Chris celebrated with their guests in the penthouse of the W Hotel. Cocktail tables were set up on the wraparound balcony, allowing guests to gaze at the full moon over the ocean. Square vases filled with green, white, and yellow orchids decorated the space, and lanterns -- made with candles anchored in sand from the beach where Chris proposed -- added a romantic glow throughout the space. “It was very casual and elegant with our guests lounging on the big white couches or enjoying the huge balcony,” Tanya recalls. All of them later headed downstairs to the nightclub in the hotel and danced until closing time.
