A Modern Fall Wedding That Embraced the Beauty of the Fall Foliage
From the planner: Melissa + Alex were very specific about farm to table food that felt light and fresh, so we brought Brandon from Hunt + Harvest down from the Hudson Valley to work his magic in Brooklyn. The king of farm to table, Brandon owns a farm and works with the best meat and produce in New York. We did a taco and dumpling stations at the cocktail hour which were a massive hit, along with the family style meal of short ribs, branzino, gnocchi, delicata squash and broccolini. The favorite dish was the gnocchi with foraged mushrooms, brown butter crumble, and whipped ricotta.
From the planner: Melissa’s family were all intimately involved in the design process for this wedding and truly wanted the Melissa + Alex to have the best time ever. From a design perspective, we wanted to keep focus on the beautiful elements of 99 Scott like the windows and brick, and add softer touches and fall elements through our upholstered rentals, linens, floral, and paper goods. I specifically loved working with Kelsey Malie Designs and Park + Bloom on this wedding, they were both able to craft unique textural elements that played off of each other perfectly.
From the planner: During the getting ready portion of the day, we styled the suite at 99 Scott with nooks for changing and lounge areas to create a homey environment for the wedding party. The ketubah signing took place right outside those floor to ceiling windows so it really created an intimate setting where family and friends could gather throughout the day.
From the planner: Working with Pat + Claire of Pat Furey Photography was such a breeze, they were so calm cool and collected throughout the process and they made Melissa + Alex feel at home and comfortable the entire time. The portraits of Melissa + Alex with Melissa’s veil are some of my favorite ever wedding photos, you can feel the joy through the image!
From the planner: The chuppah was a high note for all of us, we designed it with the intention of it blending in with the background. I don’t quite know how Sarah from Park + Bloom does it but she so seamlessly works into the environments she designs in and it truly felt like it was (a very stunning) part of the existing landscape.
