Black velvet leads guests out of the cocktail area .... 

And up the stairs ... 

And toward the ballroom ... 

The fabric then creates the ceremony's chuppah. The room featured 500 yards of uncut fabric, black X-back Chameleon chairs, and gold chandeliers. Rental providers: Casa de Perrin, Classic Party Rentals, Line 204 and Town and Country.

Dramatic dining tables are dressed in black velvet with gold rope accents. Linens were supplied by BBJ and La Tavola.

Each place setting features gold-rimmed chargers and black china and glassware. Lilla Bello oversaw tabletop decor.

As dinner progresses, guests are treated to 360-degree projection mapping, showcasing the grooms' many travels around the world. High Voltage Lighting handled the digital mapping.

Another view. The Lighter Side oversaw lighting for the wedding.

Guests move from dinner to the lounge, walking beneath a stunning of 100 black paper airplanes dipped in gold, again saluting the grooms' love of travel. Constantine Del Rosario created the work.

A custom backdrop in black and gold says "love." Entertainment was provided by Luxury DJs and the Yari More Latin Band.

The beautiful lounge.

Golden "gun" lamps are backed by the black bar.

Haute Chefs oversaw the menu, which featured a range of cuisines.

A fun presentation for icy cocktails.

The handsome wedding cake, from Fantasy Frostings.

Guests leave the ceremony to enter the dining area, where escort cards in the shape of boats salute the grooms' boat-side proposal.
