Vic built two tiers in the sloped backyard for the tables to sit upon. He also planted flowers along the perimeter of each tier and then strung light globes radiating outward like wheel spokes from a large centralized palm tree. This gave the illusion of a tent. Next to the wooden deck/dance floor, cocktails and coffee were served under a white wooden trellis from which hung white, light pink, and fuchsia Chinese lanterns of all sizes.
