A Luxe Celebration | Avalina and Gianmarco’s Chic Checkered Dance Floor
Dive into Avalina and Gianmarco’s unforgettable wedding day at Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island! Their celebration began with a heartfelt ceremony at the historic St. Joseph’s Church, where timeless architecture set the tone for a day of elegance and romance. The reception at Belle Mer was nothing short of spectacular, featuring a chic checkered dance floor that perfectly complemented the venue’s modern aesthetic. A stunning mirrored head table reflected the couple’s impeccable style, while pops of blue in the decor added a fresh and vibrant touch.
