This is Why We're Crushing Hard on Spring Weddings
I know everyone and their brother is crushing hard on spring right about now, but this wedding will blow it all out of the water. Because when you say "I do" literally covered by pink blossoms, it's pretty much a fairytale come true. Spring brides, take note from this New York couple and don't be afraid to embrace the season on your Big Day. More from Stoffer Photography and Kiss the Bride Films below!
From the Bride... You could say that we are a very New York couple: I'm a fashion designer, and Elon is a stand-up comedian. When we began searching for a wedding venue, our first stop was the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We loved the idea of having our wedding in a garden within the confines of the city that we both love so much. When we arrived, we were told that a hold on the weekend after the Cherry Blossom festival had just been released, and that if we wanted it we should book that day. We both looked at each other, and knew it was meant to be. We put our deposit down later that evening.
Our amazing friend Renee created our wedding website , save the dates, invitations, and programs. We wanted the save the date to really set the mood for what was to come. There was a transparency sheet layer overtop a photograph that the bride took of the cherry blossoms the year before. For the invitations we went with a clean and streamlined tonal white letterpress.
Leading up to the day, the Blossoms caused a lot of suspense. We visited the Cherry Blossom Festival 6 days before our ceremony, and there were only branches to be seen! When we came back for our walk-through on Wednesday the buds had just begun to pop. The day of the wedding was a dream come true, as they all had opened up and were in peak bloom! We could not have imagined a more perfect setting. The day was cool, but sunny, which created the most beautiful lighting for our photographers & videographers (Stoffer Photography & Kiss the Bride Films). John & Maura Stoffer, who are friends of our friends, are the most special photography husband and wife team. We were so in awe of their work, and the connection we felt with them, that we flew them in from Chicago for the big day! Nadia & Andy from Kiss the Bride Films also created a dream video and were absolutely incredible to work with.
Our flowers were done by The Arrangement. We were blown away by everything that they created, especially the Chuppah that was draped in the most gorgeous flowers we could have ever dreamed of. They added the perfect amount of blooms to complement the Cherry Blossoms.
The day of the wedding, the bridesmaids got ready at Salon Orchard, a perfect location to get ready in the city. With 8 bridesmaids, mothers, the photographer & videographer it was difficult to find a space to fit everyone. Chie and her team were amazing and really went above and beyond by closing the salon all morning for us to have a private space to celebrate and get ready.
Our reception was held in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's beautiful, historic Art Deco Palm House. This glass greenhouse was the original reason that we were attracted to the venue. The lights and candles reflect off the glass dome creating the most romantic and intimate space to celebrate and dance the night away with friends and family. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of the celebration, the most magical & beautiful day of our lives!
