Historic Charm Meets Modern Chic: A Stunning May Wedding at Milwaukee's Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum

Written By Sara Jihan

Nestled on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum is the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. This historic Italian Renaissance-style villa provides a stunning backdrop for a romantic wedding, and this celebration was nothing short of breathtaking.

With a minimalist yet chic design, the wedding decor let the natural beauty of the venue shine. Soft, dainty bud vases with assorted pink ranunculus, Coral Charm peony, lavender iris, and peach garden roses decorated the reception space, adding a pop of color to the villa’s warm, historic tones. The lush and serene gardens offered an intimate setting for the couple’s first look photos and family portraits.

Guests enjoyed an unforgettable evening filled with love, laughter, and good vibes all around. As the evening came to an end, the couple made a grand exit in true style, driving off in a classic 560 SL Mercedes-Benz. This wedding was a perfect blend of historic elegance, modern romance, and meaningful personal touches.
