Discover the Perfect Luxurious Wedding Venue at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis with Belli Fiori

Your wedding day deserves nothing but the best, and at Belli Fiori, we are thrilled to highlight one of St. Louis’s most opulent wedding venues—the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Set against the backdrop of glittering chandeliers, romantic Juliet balconies, and a dramatic fountain, the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis offers an unmatched wedding experience, making it an ideal location for your dream wedding.

The Ritz-Carlton has numerous event spaces, but we’ll be focusing in on our two favorite event spaces: The Ballroom and The Solarium. Both of these lovely spaces can host a wide range of events from galas to wedding ceremonies and receptions.

The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom: Where Grandeur Meets Elegance

For those envisioning a grand celebration, the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom is the epitome of luxury. This expansive space can host up to 700 guests, making it perfect for large ceremonies and receptions. The soft glow of chandeliers reflects off the padded damask walls, creating an ambiance of timeless elegance.

With the open floor plan of Ritz Carlton’s Grand Ballroom the design possibilities are endless. It’s a great opportunity to mix and match a variety of table shapes and sizes with centerpiece styles of varying heights to add visual interest to the room. Of course, designing a couple focal points in the room to draw guests attention can also make a big statement. Consider a stunning head table, dynamic wedding cake display, or covering your band’s stage in flowers. As a full-service event design company, we were also thrilled to help you select other design details like linens, napkins and chargers. When choosing rentals for your wedding, keep in mind that small elements can have a big impact on the overall look and mood of your event!

Imagine your wedding ceremony adorned with lush floral arrangements from Belli Fiori, enhancing the Ballroom's exquisite setting. Our expert team can create stunning designs that complement the luxurious atmosphere, from grand ceremony structures to elegant centerpieces. For a beautifully cohesive look, remember these essential ceremony flowers: an arch or backdrop, aisle arrangements, statement arrangements for the start of the aisle, and candles for the aisle. Each element will add to the magic of your special day, seamlessly matching your wedding theme and setting the stage for a truly memorable celebration.

We also highly recommend adding a “room reveal” of your reception room to your wedding day timeline. It’s such a special moment to have some private time with your new spouse to soak in all the beautiful details that you put months of planning and thought into. It’s also a great photo op and the perfect time to enjoy a private dance together before the evening’s festivities commence. We promise it’s a memory you will relish forever.

Cocktail Hour Flowers…Cheers to that!

Elevate your wedding cocktail hour by incorporating beautiful floral arrangements that set the tone for a stylish celebration. Whether your cocktail hour is held in The Solarium or adjacent to the Ballroom, adding flowers to key areas, such as the bar, cocktail tables, escort card display, and the entrance to your ballroom, instantly enhances the ambiance and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere for your guests. These thoughtful floral touches bring color, elegance, and a sense of cohesion to the decor, helping to seamlessly transition from the ceremony to the festivities. It’s the perfect way to start the party off right and make a lasting impression before the main event unfolds.

Before you enter the Grand Ballroom, the Ritz-Carlton has a large focal point table that is the perfect spot to make a big splash! It’s often used for an escort card display, wedding favors or for your guest book. Due to its large size, we can truly create a floral display on a grand scale.

The Solarium: A Unique Indoor/Outdoor Experience

The Solarium at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis is a one-of-a-kind venue that effortlessly combines the comfort of an indoor space with the ambiance of the outdoors. With its beautiful latticed ceiling that bathes the room in natural light, it’s a dream setting for photographers and videographers. Ideal for intimate gatherings, the Solarium creates a cozy and romantic atmosphere, making it a versatile option for your special day.

Belli Fiori can transform The Solarium with beautiful floral arrangements that highlight its natural beauty. Whether you prefer a romantic garden-inspired look or a modern, minimalist design, our floral designers can create the perfect ambiance for your wedding.

For couples who host their ceremony and reception in The Solarium, we’ll work with your planner and the Ritz Carlton event staff to transition your ceremony into your reception design. As you and your guests enjoy cocktail hour, we’ll work our magic repurposing your ceremony flowers and adding candles and centerpieces to all of your tablescapes to create the wedding reception of your dreams.

Host your Rehearsal Dinner in The Solarium

One of the many advantages of choosing The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis for your wedding is the convenience of on-site accommodations, allowing your guests to stay in the same location as your wedding weekend activities. The Solarium is an ideal setting for hosting your rehearsal dinner, offering a stunning and intimate space to kick off the celebrations in style.
