Inside, guests will find white rocking chairs with Americana pillows, and the main hall will be decorated with red and blue lighting, star projections, and draped fabric. The design includes an outdoor bar with hedges, a Champagne Hedges "Instagrammable moment," and a VIP Garden Lounge with comfortable patio sections, trellis decorations, and white uplighting.
