Ravenna

A Byzantine basilica in jewel-toned mosaic — deep plum walls, gold leaf, lapis and emerald glass. Scattered tesserae fly in and assemble into your names to open the invitation, every section rises as an arched lunette panel, the day's schedule stands in a colonnade of gilded niches, the countdown glows in haloed medallions and your photographs are laid tile by tile into a mosaic wall.
