As the guests entered The Geraghty, they were greeted by elegant, white floral in the foyer. Inside the cocktail space, an intertwined “love ring” focal of paving green and white floral was flanked by two ornamented lucite terrarium place card tables. Lounge groupings provided a contemporary, tailored touch to the English garden cocktail space. Guests followed a dramatically lit, towering chiffon walkway to dinner, which was surrounded by soaring 20’ white velvet walls. A more whimsical interpretation of the garden aesthetic — the ceiling highlighted a mixture of ivy, maidenhair fern, banana leaves, wild smilax, white phalaenopsis orchids, and other greenery — accompanied with 36 crystal chandeliers. The wall behind the head table featured floor-to-ceiling boxwood with trailing ivy. Tall white taper candles on the tables along with the ceiling installation, created intimacy within the space. Mirrored tabletops amplified the greenery and soft candlelight.
Following dinner, two of the velvet wall panels opened to reveal a surprise. A hidden walkway, laced with greens, and lanterns’ shadows led to the afterparty. The afterparty design was inspired by the swirling patterns and lively palette of a vintage Pucci scarf. The inspired design was incorporated into a circular dance floor and large suspended discs. This design was also reflected in the details of accent pillows, cocktail napkins, and an upholstered bar front. The lounge featured plum velvet seating, sectional ottomans, and smoked glass tables — all designed with a residential feel. A custom photo op with gold paillettes and a heart-shaped neon light invited guests to personalize their memories.
