One of the most striking elements was the grand staircase inside the venue that was transformed into a botanical masterpiece. Abundant greenery intertwined with the black railings, while oversized purple clematis blooms and an array of lavender, white, and pink florals created a statement entrance. This spectacular floral installation, designed during Intrigue Design's flower workshop, demonstrated how architectural elements can become living works of art.
