The Reception

Dinner and dancing took place in the Calderwood Courtyard at Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum. To accentuate the theme of an Italian feast, the florist created a magnificent arrangement of flowers (such as roses and hydrangea) and vegetables (artichokes and eggplants) that rested at the entrance to the courtyard. Other refined touches of Italy: Dinner tables were named after Italian Renaissance artists, and the grand columns that led up to the second floor (galleries were left open so guests could view the museum's paintings and sculptures) were dramatically up-lit.
