Perched upon a serene hilltop just outside of Tulsa, The Bella Donna Wedding Chapel and Event Center is where dreams become reality. With its classic European styling, vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, wedding ceremonies are always remembered as unique and timeless. The fresh and open reception space will accommodate two hundred guests, and its large windows and spacious patio help bring the beauty of the surroundings into every event. The timeless look of the chapel and reception hall create a fabulous foundation from which each bride can create her own unique day.
Amanda and Cord’s Boho Chic Bash
This bride spent months creating, building, painting, and assembling the perfect boho chic wedding. Using vintage gold pieces purchased from thrift stores and secondhand shops, accented with wild flowers, she brought the boho chic theme alive. Each table was designed with a myriad of color and classic decor. Amanda commissioned her florist to create amazing floral baskets that hung from the ceiling in the reception area. The hanging baskets were gorgeous, completing the space perfectly. Boho weddings are unique and can be done at any time of the year by simply changing the florals. This beautiful wedding took place in October and their color scheme consisted of terracotta, pink, oranges, and tans.

Garden parties are beautiful, but when you combine a garden party and a wedding, you get the perfect storm of elegance and whimsical. You can never go wrong with a spring wedding.

The windows throughout the venue make you feel as if you are outside in the manicured lawn and gardens, without having to deal with or worry about the elements.
