See the Cutest (Furry) Ring Bearer Who Walked Down the Aisle

Pup lovers rejoice because this fur baby turned ring bearer is the cutest thing you’ll see all day. Mabelle, the couple’s shar-pei carried the rings down the aisle and took this Brooklyn wedding to a new level of fun. Sophie Kawalek captured and we’re hanging out here in the gallery.

From Sophie Kawalek PhotographyFrom the minute I met Rachel & Patrick, I knew their wedding was going to be amazing. Both artists, they set out to create an event filled with gorgeous sunlight, an incredible ceremony + reception space in the heart of Brooklyn, and whimsical yet modern details – including a vintage-inspired Sue Wong dress and fresh greenery by Pamela Cravens throughout the event.

Rachel and Patrick planned the entire thing themselves, hand selecting each vendor to compliment their unique day. It was filled with touches of intimacy, as the couple read each other handwritten love letters during their first look, heard speeches from multiple close friends, and had the bride’s brother walk their shar-pei, Mabelle, down the aisle to deliver their wedding rings.

Everything was inspired by a lush and modern palette of white, classic navy, and fresh green – from the stunning vintage-inspired emerald velvet bridesmaids dresses to the eucalyptus and bay leaf garlands running the length of each dining table, to the bouquets – primarily greenery, with soft white flowers.

The ceremony was led by Patrick’s childhood reverend, who had traveled from Savannah, Georgia, to be part of the event. Interspersed with singing and guitar played by one of the groom’s close friends, it was filled with light and emotion as the couple exchanged beautiful custom rings and read short vows.

Rachel, a bride of Chinese descent, changed twice from her elegant white dress to something more traditional and spent her reception in two stunning red and gold cheongsams that her mother helped select for the big day. The night ended with cake decorated with rows of fresh blossoms by The Movable Feast and dancing for family & friends.

This Online Editor Planned the Ultimate Offline Celebration

Most Brides and Grooms plan an after party to keep the celebration going all night. But if you ask me, what this Bride (an editor at Real Simple) and Groom chose to do is so much more fun! After their New York City-inspired I Dos (apple escort cards and a Momofuku Milk Bar cake), they headed to the adjacent bowling alley, where the party continued, Jenny Packham wedding dress and all. See all the fun from Sarah Tew Photography and Crown Street Productions in The Vault!

From The Bride…I met John in a bar while we were both journalism graduate students at Northwestern University. We were friends for a few months, but we didn’t start dating until two days before I moved to London for an internship. We spent that summer exchanging emails, and he finally came to visit me over Labor Day. That kicked off two years of long distance dating—I moved to New York City to pursue a career in journalism, and he stayed in Chicago to work for a start-up that had formed out of his graduate school work. Finally, in September 2011, John moved to NYC.

We both love the city— it’s where we live and work, and it’s the first city we lived in together. It’s where we cemented our relationship and where we got engaged in November 2014, on a bridge in Central Park that we love. We knew even before we got engaged that we wanted to celebrate our wedding in NYC. I felt strongly about choosing a venue that showcased the city, and I fell in love with Current at Chelsea Piers when it was still just a construction site. I loved how it juxtaposed the natural beauty of the Hudson River with the sparkling lights of the city, plus it promised a sleek, modern design with a showstopper of a ceiling. It felt like our favorite parts of the city mashed together, and, as West Siders, the idea of having a wedding on the Hudson River was especially appealing.

Visiting Current in the months before our wedding and watching it morph from a construction site to a venue made it feel like our project. I wanted the space to look both lush and urban. The first element I knew I wanted was a floating Chuppah, with candles and flowers (which Atlas Floral Decorators brought from my imagination to life). I’m Jewish and John is Catholic, so this modern take on the traditional felt like just the right centerpiece for our ceremony.

While the big picture of planning was, of course, important, I really wanted the small details to bring everything together. A few of my favorites: We used apples as escort cards, with paper “leaves” pinned to the top (a nod to the fall season and, of course, the Big Apple). We both love playing games, so we used Jenga pieces as a guest book, asking people sign their names and include their best advice or a memory (we’ve loved playing our custom game in the months after the wedding). And as a journalist, paper details are extremely important to me, so I worked with a designer on a custom, graphical program and a playful menu for the tables.

Rather than having one big centerpiece on the tables, we used several flower vessels, with lots of candles, for visual interest and different points of entry for the eye. I tried to keep the focus on rich, fall colors, with touches of metallic silver. Abigail Kirsch is known for having lots of food, and they did not disappoint. From the inventive appetizers (mac and cheese cupcakes! pumpkin soup shooters!) all the way to the pizza and pretzel cart on departure, our guests left stuffed. We also love visiting Momofuku Milk Bar on the Upper West Side, so choosing their apple pie wedding cake was one of our easiest decisions.

On the day of the wedding, we took photos at The Highline—one more great example of the natural meeting the modern. Our mutual friend, Angela, became ordained for the occasion—she brought us together more than six years ago in graduate school, so it only felt appropriate that she bring us together in this official way. Everyone warned me that the ceremony would be a blur, but for me it was one of the clearest memories from the day—we delivered our own vows and we each had one of our siblings give a reading, which was especially meaningful. Afterward, we danced all night to Element Music’s Radio Underground—my family and friends are big dancers, so finding the right music was a must. And, because we weren’t ready for the party to end, we finished the night by bowling (yes, in my wedding dress) at Bowlmor in Chelsea Piers.

A Wedding Straight From Your “Secret Garden” Dreams

This bride has that perfect go-with-the-flow mentality I think anyone planning wedding needs. “A few minutes before my bridesmaids and I were to walk down the aisle, a bridesmaid sprayed Sprite all over the girls’ dresses! The hairdresser started blow drying them and I ate some cookies. The only tears I cried that day were happy ones while exchanging vows with my husband,” she said. Heather Waraksa captured all those happy tears and a secret garden-esque gallery you’re going to LOVE.

From the Bride…

What did you envision your wedding being prior to planning?

Romantic and classic. We knew we wanted part, if not all, of the wedding to be outdoors. We both love nature and wanted to be in a garden or forest. As we continued planning, I began falling for a more whimsical theme. We had several guests tell us the night was magical (one guest said she expected fairies to fly out during the reception because of the beautiful venue!)

What was your color palette and your style vision?

I wanted muted colors since the greenery of the venue is so vibrant. Our main color was a light, dove gray. We also included elements of very pale pink (blush), white, and light mint. Since my husband’s (and now my) last name is Silver, we stuck with silver for any metallic elements and shied away from gold and brass.

What unique elements or DIY details did you include?

I worked with the graphic designer to custom make the save-the-date and venue map (which was a program insert). I designed the goodie bag Welcome & Information notes on powerpoint and printed them at a local print shop in NYC (Village Copier). We really loved our paper products, from the laser print invites to our Mr. & Mrs. Silver napkins. My mother is from the south (Tennessee) and wanted to incorporate a Southern tradition into the wedding. The mothers and Matt’s grandmother were given Tussie Mussies with flowers (mini bouquets held in ornate silver, cone-shaped carriers) to hold as they walked down the aisle. My mother and I spray painted the heart BHLDN place card holders white since they came in a brass color.

My husband wore his late grandfather’s ring and I wore my late grandmother’s ring for our vow exchange. Our venue wouldn’t allow sparklers so we handed out LOVE-labeled bubbles instead, which we felt added to the whimsical theme. Our female guests loved the RescueFlats we provided to help them dance the night away. Our planners had the idea to put the foldable shoes in a beautiful white, open bookshelf covered in flowers. This idea maintained our atheistic with the modern shoe packaging.

What was your favorite moment? Your favorite crafted detail?

Hard question! But I would say our first dance. Matt had surprised me by getting us last minute dance lessons. Even though I made a tiny error in the moves (we laughed through it!), we nailed the ending with a perfectly timed dip (the song was The Beatles “And I Love Her”). Matt was so happy to have gotten it right on cue! My favorite crafted detail was the greenery hanging from the chandeliers in the reception tent. Every time I looked up at it, I was reminded of our ceremony location. The tent also had twinkling string lights throughout, mimicking the night sky.

What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be?

To let go the day of and enjoy. I am a planner, but I didn’t fuss over anything the day of our wedding. A few minutes before my bridesmaids and I were to walk down the aisle, a bridesmaid sprayed Sprite all over the girls’ dresses! The hairdresser started blow drying them and I ate some cookies. The only tears I cried that day were happy ones while exchanging vows with my husband.

What happens when you combine the chicest Bride ever with a wedding at the Brooklyn Winery? Major allure. Starting with that show-stopper of a gown (I mean, hello velvet neckline!) to the speckled purple orchid bouquet (total perfection), we’ve got Brindamour Photography to thank for this stunner of a celebration. See it all in The Vault!

From Brindamour PhotographyI’m so excited to share this Brooklyn Winery wedding. Badr and Michèle are dream clients, the sort I literally write about in a notebook when at a photography workshop and am instructed to describe my dream client. They are calm and totally relaxed, they trusted me every step of the way, their families were so sweet and kind to me all night, and on top of all that, they are gorgeous and have great style. Michèle wore a stunning Tom Ford gown with a beautiful velvet neckline and carried a speckled purple orchid bouquet designed by Gabrielle Aronas of G! Designs. I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into their wedding day! XOXO

Don’t Have a Green Thumb? Let These Handpicked Flowers Inspire You

With its 250 acres of Catskills forest preserve, Onteora Mountain House set one gorgeous stage for Mia and Alex’s rustic wedding. The family affair included handpicked flowers from the gorgeous Bride and her sweet daughter, a vintage wedding dress and this beautiful setting. And thanks to Betsi Ewing Studio and Oh Stella Studio, we can gush over it all in The Vault!

From Betsi Ewing StudioThe clouds lifted just in time for the Catskills to paint the background for this mountain celebration. Mia, Alex, and their lovely daughter Vivienne invited friends and family to Onteora Mountain House, a stunning place of serenity and love. Betsi Ewing gracefully and playfully captured the day, which was accented by delicious food from Blue Mountain Bistro, perfect flowers by Lindsay Rae Design and blazing tunes from Pinkwing. Everyone was jeweled with the bride’s gorgeous Mia Lara jewelry pieces.

I had been waiting many years for this perfect day to come for Mia and Alex. I met them in Woodstock years earlier at Mia’s best friend Heather’s wedding and made fast friends with the two Brooklyn couples who lived nearby me. I watched as Mia and Alex’s relationship progressed from boyfriend and girlfriend, to parents of beautiful Viv, to husband and wife. They do everything with such calmness and kindness. The whole weekend, not just the wedding, was certainly one to remember!

Everyone gathered at the Onteora Mountain House to help Mia and Alex set up for their big day. Mia and daughter Viv picked flowers at a nearby farm to add some extra color to their decor, while friends set up the photo booth, seating cards, desert table (including cake balls from Milk!) and the band Pinkwing arrived from Brooklyn. Most of the weekend was rainy but the skies cleared just long enough for Mia + Alex to wander around the green Onteora property for some stunning photos. Friends and family stayed the weekend at the campy Graham + Co Hotel nearby in Phoenicia, biking around town and breakfasting at the local famous Phonecia Diner.

Think You’ve Seen An Elegant Beach Wedding? Think Again

The Hamptons. The name alone evokes luxury and elegance. And this East Hampton wedding from Brklyn View Photography embodies that classic Hamptons style. From the Bride’s monogrammed Jack Rodgers sandals to the handmade driftwood arbor adorned with soft, romantic flowers, this fall day is the beachy elegant wedding of our dreams. See it all now in The Vault!

From The Bride…When it came to planning our wedding we knew we wanted it to be a fun and intimate event that reflected our style as a couple. We grew up at the beach and wanted to incorporate the beachy elegance of The Hamptons into our wedding. After visiting East Hampton Point we knew their waterfront location was the perfect fit. We were married overlooking the water, surrounded by close friends and family, by the same judge that had married Brenden’s parents, and there was not a dry eye in the room by the end of the ceremony.

Little details were carefully planned to personalize the day. A custom laurel wreath monogram was created for our invitations and a vintage map of East Hampton was used for the envelope liner. For my something blue, I wore a vintage brooch on my bouquet that my Mother had worn on her wedding dress. We also created two signature cocktails, Little Plains Beach, the location where Brenden proposed, and Navy Beach, one of our favorite spots in Montauk.

The floral design was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. We incorporated mercury glass vases and votives into the table design, along with pops of blush flowers to add a soft romantic feel. A handmade driftwood arbor filled with flowers created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and fit in perfectly with the scenery.

I have been planning my wedding ever since I was a little girl and the day was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. We were so lucky to have the help of our amazing families and vendors to make the day so perfect.

They Wed in the Same Church Her Parents Did 37 Years Earlier

Trust me when I say, it doesn’t get much more nautical (or prettier) than this New York wedding. From the ceremony at the same church where the Bride’s parents said “I do” to the yacht club reception, this navy and pink striped day is quintessential nautical. And with vendors Brklyn View PhotographyViolet And VerdeWeddington Way and Sweet Booths, it was an absolute dream. Get pinning now in The Vault!

From The Bride…Steve and I were married on a beautiful day in October, at the same church where my parents walked down the aisle more than 37 years before. Our ceremony set the tone for a day we envisioned as a timeless celebration that combined tradition with fun details that expressed our personalities.

A palette of navy blue and pink – accented with classic stripes – was brought to life through custom save the dates from Sincerely, Jackie, and carried throughout our attire and décor.

Keeping with our vision, I paired my Rosa Clara wedding dress with my mom’s veil and grandmother’s pearl necklace. Steve and his groomsmen wore grey suits and striped bow ties, while each bridesmaid chose her own navy Alfred Sung dress.

Our reception venue, Bridgeview Yacht Club, served as a beautiful waterfront setting for some of my favorite photos of the day captured by the incredibly talented Brklyn View Photography. The venue’s ballroom provided a classic backdrop for colorful, garden-inspired floral arrangements by Violet and Verde, which popped against the room’s navy and gold décor.

By choosing a venue that handled coordination and catering among many other things, we were able to focus more time and budget on personal details for our guests to enjoy – like a fun photo booth and favors, the groom’s favorite black and white cookies.

After an evening filled with toasts, food and dancing, the celebration came to a close with delicious donuts from a local bakery – a perfectly sweet ending to an even sweeter day!

From Jessica OH… Nate + Golnaz were married at Studio 450 in NYC. Paying homage to Golnaz’s hertiage, a “so-freh” was placed at the ceremony sight + housed many elements signifying different blessings for the couple. During the ceremony, the couple fed each other honey + had sugar sprinkled above their heads by family + close friends.

Golnaz’s gown was handmade just for her by one of her favorite designers, Hussein Chalayan. Wanting a handmade touch to her chic wedding day, Golnaz’s mother knitted all the little hearts for the seating chart.

The couple opted to have a logo that was featured on her invitation suit, welcome bags + a neon sign overlooking the dance floor. The couple also had their hashtag, #nateandgolnazforever made into a neon sign for the guest polaroid book table.

This Party Gets the Best Brunch Ever Award

This shower crafted by Twenty Three Layers along with florals by Van Vliet & Trap should get the best ever brunch award and it has everything to do with the dessert spread. Donuts, artisan marshmallows AND gem shaped cookies are only the beginning. Try adding a savory farm-to-table breakfast, like 3 billion choices of drink bars and a sea of pretty color captured by Kathleen O’Donnell. It’s proving that being surrounded by pastel is the best way to brunch. A mimosa bar helps too.

We just loved planning this very special shower for our guest of honor! Such a fun theme with our favorite color palette (pastels) + a modern twist of geometric shapes giving the room a clean, fun and lively vibe!

As guests enter the space they drop books and gifts onto the custom book cart. Servers offer them welcome cocktails and a specialty mocktail we named “Flower Child” as the mocktail was adorned with edible flowers. We built a custom juice bar with Juice Press organic juices which was a total crowd pleaser! Along with a Mimosa + Bloody Mary station set up on opposite ends of the bar.

Working within a raw space, we wanted to create a warm and comfortable environment by adding a lounge area which we styled using pastel touches.

For the kids, we created their own little area where they were able to do fun diy projects and take photos of each other using pastel polaroid cameras! There was a DIY Onesie station where adults were able to have some fun with the kids-hanging their dolled up onesies from a close line.

Poppy’s Catering provided a Farm to Table experience offering delicious salads, proteins and yummy quiches! And for that sweet treat, we created one of our signature style dessert bars filled with yummy treats For the backdrop we framed a piece of the same fabric we used for the table runner, tying it all in.

Their Love Story Began In New York, So They Returned For Their Wedding

If you heart New York, then you are going to heart this classic New York City wedding. From the English Garden-inspired Bryant Park ceremony and Bryant Park Grill reception to the Momofuku Milk Bar wedding cake and all-night dance party thanks to 74 Events, this was the ultimate Manhattan affair. Add in a glamorous Bride and Groom and Ryon:Lockhart Photography to capture al the magic, and you’re left with photos as iconic as the city itself in The Vault!

From The Bride…Our story began in New York City – meeting through mutual friends and the rest, as they say, is history. Our lives melded together seamlessly, falling in love with the city as our backdrop. Shortly after our engagement we made the decision to move from New York to Los Angeles, kicking our wedding planning into high gear!

Nestled in the heart of the city, Bryant Park Grill was a quintessentially New York venue. The view from the roof offers the city skyline while also overlooking the lush greenery of Bryant Park in August. It set the stage for the “English Garden” vision in my mind, which the brilliant Rawan Rihani of Aurora Botanica executed perfectly. Rawan’s expertise in floral design, along with her kind spirit, make the wedding floral planning process seamless! From the flower adorned cake to the sweetest flower girl crown, and everything in between, it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

Our cross country move had an unexpected twist – it led us to our amazing photographers, the husband and wife team at Ryon:Lockhart Photography. Recommended by west coast friends, we were trading places with Sarah and Tim as they relocated from LA to NYC, just in time for our nuptials. We overlapped with them in Los Angeles and were able to do some engagement photos in Venice beach. I love that we did our engagement photos in Los Angeles because along with our
wedding photos, we capture our tale of two cities. The moments Ryon:Lockhart captures with their artistic eye and gorgeous use of natural light are lifelong treasures for our family.

The wedding weekend quickly arrived and it was an incredible kind of homecoming for us. To have all of our friends and family surrounding us in New York City for the weekend was truly magical. It’s a special time capsule that I can always replay in my mind. Kicking off the weekend in our old neighborhood favorite, 12th Street Ale House, our rehearsal dinner at Perry Street, and the perfect wedding day at Bryant Park Grill – it was a dream weekend with our beloved friends and family. Our DJ, Duane Harriot of 74 Events, had the crowd on its feet throughout the night. Looking out from our sweetheart table at dinner, Phil and I were overwhelmed with gratitude to be surrounded by the wonderful people sharing in the joy of our wedding: parents, aunts, and uncles who have nurtured us through the years, friends who have become family. Phil’s mom exclaimed the next day (as we polished off the top of the Momofuku wedding cake in her kitchen!) “you could feel the love in the room – it was palpable.

This Southampton Day is Not Your Average Beach Wedding

When this gorgeous Bride and Groom began planning their dream wedding, they knew they wanted a beach wedding with a certain level of elegance.

From the ceremony in the sand to the classic tented reception, every detail of this day is elegant beach wedding perfection. See all the pretty in The Vault!

From The Bride…Zach and I met in college and after dating for almost 7 years we got engaged just before New Years on a hike to the top of Aspen Mountain. It was picture perfect! Surrounded by family and friends we immediately fielded questions about where and when we wanted to get married and we didn’t hesitate in choosing the Hamptons. I grew up going there in the summer and now my dad lives there full time so we’ve been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time there. With our mutual love for the beach, we couldn’t wait to share such a special place with our friends and family. September is such a beautiful time out East so we decided to enjoy a longer engagement, which also gave us plenty of time to plan our wedding from across the country since we live in San Francisco. I actually loved the planning process, so I was happy to have plenty of time to really think through every decision and keep the stress to a minimum!

It’s been my dream since I was a little girl to get married on the beach, but we wanted to ensure a certain level of elegance too. We didn’t want it to feel like a casual family clambake, although we certainly love those! We wanted a classic but casual elegance to really inform the design and feel of the day and we were fortunate enough to find The Bridgehampton Club for our venue which allowed us to have our ceremony on the sand and also have a Sperry Tent that was a bit more protected from the what could be harsh conditions on the beach. It was the best of both worlds!

For the ceremony on the beach I really didn’t want to over-decorate and compete with the natural beauty of the beach and the ocean. We decided to go with white benches rather than chairs to keep things as casual and natural as possible. Instead of doing an archway or something similar to mark the altar, we decided to add beach grass to define the space while still feeling appropriate for the beach. And of course, Claire Bean truly executed it perfectly. We also loved designing our own ceremony from song selections, to readings, to writing our own vows. It all felt so perfectly us and I think our friends and family would agree!

In true Hamptons fashion, we went with a blue and white color palette keeping the flowers primarily white with pops of greenery. We brought in the navy blue with throw pillows for the chaises during cocktail hour, hand-stitched napkins with our wedding logo, customized menus that also acted as our place cards and blue and white ginger jars filled with hydrangeas to flank the dance floor. One of my favorite DIY details was the escort cards that we designed. Zach and I, and the majority of our friends, were members of The Tiger Inn in college. We designed our escort cards to mimic a TI pass. We though it would give everyone a laugh! At cocktail hour, his and hers cocktails were inspired by our dog Jake, a Labrador Retriever who sadly had to stay home. We were worried he’d try to go swimming during the ceremony! Zach’s choice was a “Ginger Lab” and mine a “Salty Dog.” The dinner menu was inspired by all of the incredible local bounty in the Hamptons — we served a burrata salad to start, the Groom’s favorite, and then the guests were given a choice of striped bass or chicken for the main course. It was delicious!

I’m not quite sure how to go about choosing one moment as my favorite part of the day. Zach and I decided that we wanted to do a first look prior to the ceremony. While it certainly allows you to spend more time with your guests during cocktail hour and the reception, it also was important for us to see each other so we could calm our nerves. I knew that once I saw Zach and we had a special moment alone, I would feel totally calm, at ease, and ready to get married! I also did a first look with my Dad, which was so wonderfully emotional and the perfect way to start such a magical day. I got dressed in my room with my mom and bridesmaids and walked down the stairs to see my dad holding my bouquet. He wanted me to keep my dress a secret, so it was pretty emotional when he saw me in my wedding gown for the first time! Another memorable moment was during the ceremony when our good friend Kyle came up to do his reading of the Apache Wedding Blessing. Zach published a novel last year — Kings and Pawns, check it out on amazon! — and Kyle came up to do his reading out of Zach’s book! Everyone laughed and at first I thought they must be laughing at me! It was such a fun touch. Kudos to Kyle on that one!

We cannot thank all of our vendors enough for making our vision really come to life. And the weather! I’m not quite sure what we did to deserve such perfection, but we couldn’t be happier about it! And a special thank you to Claire Bean who made planning a wedding from so far away such a wonderful, fun experience and really getting us. She even went so far as to decorate the chandeliers with my favorite flowers — hydrangeas — which really escalated the understated, but lush florals that we wanted for the reception. Walking into the tent for our first dance my draw dropped. It was even better than I could have envisioned it. And I spent a lot of time envisioning it! The party would also not be the same without our fabulous band, 45 Riots. One piece of advice I would give to a bride-to-be would be to consider doing a mini dance set prior to dinner. It was so fun to get everyone up on the dance floor after our first dance and get them really excited for all the dancing that was to come. A key factor for us in our wedding planning was to have one big fun dance party and 45 Riots made that happen. Every since person danced the night away with us! We went so far as to choose a final song — Billy Joel’s Piano Man — which had everyone singing along. In fact everyone put their arms around one another and created a big circle around the dance floor swaying back and forth singing. Zach then pulled me into the middle for our final dance of the night. It was an unforgettable moment and an unforgettable night!

Intimate Winter Wedding at NY’s Iconic Gramercy Park Hotel

Vintage glam with a romantic twist, this ridiculously stunning and intimate Gramercy Park Hotel wedding captured by none other than Christian Oth Studio is just New York City wedding perfection. With sweet personalized details and two of the most adorable dogs ever, this gallery of images is just as good as it gets. See even more in the VAULT. 

From The Bride…Michael and I met eight years ago in New York City through a mutual friend. Though we dated long-distance for three years between London and New York City before we both finally called the Big Apple our home, it was our love for traveling and our two puppies that kept our spark alive. True to form, he proposed during our trip to Costa Rica and I immediately started our wedding planning!

From the moment we walked in, we knew Gramercy Park Hotel was going to be our wedding venue. In fact, it was the only venue we visited. We wanted a classic New York wedding that was glamorous and chic, yet intimate and cozy at the same time. The rooftop terrace at the GPH provided us with just that and more. From the candlelit lanterns that lined the terrace to the lush, green garden throughout to the fireplace in the light bulb room, it was a beautiful, stunning venue. Not to mention it had an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline as well as eclectic works of art (Damien Hearst, Andy Warhol), all of which set a romantic, yet playful tone for everyone. As food lovers, we were even more excited when we found out Union Square Hospitality, a Danny Meyer company, would be catering our event.

Given the venue, we knew vintage glam would be our theme but with a romantic twist. I chose a mermaid Vera Wang dress that had a stunning train and a beautiful jeweled sash to go along with it. My bridesmaid wore rose champagne sequined dresses that I found from Australia. My mom and I also decorated two birdcages for cards and well wishes with feathers and pearls. She’s also into figurines so she made two Hello Kitty bride and groom figurines. Table signs and escort cards also had tints of gold on them, which complemented well with my flowers of white, rose pink and gray.

Personalizing the details to our wedding was a lot of fun. My favorite was the inclusion of our dogs, Cuba and Harvey, in their tuxedos in the wedding photos and the walk down the aisle. They are such a huge part of our family and we love them so much! We even had a reading titled “How Falling in Love is Like Owning A Dog” by Taylor Mall.

As romantics, we also decided to choose to do a wine box ceremony, to help us remember the reasons why we got married by writing love letters to each other sealed in a special wine box. To honor my Chinese heritage, I also changed into a traditional red Qi Pao for dinner and my father/daughter dance. The day prior at the rehearsal dinner, we performed a Chinese tea ceremony at an Italian restaurant named Valbella in order to infuse and honor Michael’s and my culture together.

As wine lovers, we also brought in our favorite champagne and wines to accompany our wedding. In particular, one of the Bordeaux bottles (Calon Segur) had a label with a heart on it, which helped us symbolize our love on the day. Because of this, we incorporated the wooden wine case into the display during cocktail hour. And instead of a traditional wedding cake, we went with an ice cream cake from a local Brooklyn ice cream shop to reflect our love for Carvel when we were kids!

Finally, as a tribute to our travels, the tags to our wedding favors from Macaron Cafe were printed like passport stamps. Michael and I love to collect passport stamps from around the world.

In the end, it was a really magical day for us. For all the work brides put into making this day a perfect day, a great photographer is extremely important to help document this special moment. Jack Jeffries from Christian Oth Studio did a fantastic job for us, getting beautiful shots that looked editorial as if they were to be placed in a magazine. And no matter how much brides plan, there will be stress in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Having a good on-site event manager and/or a month-of-wedding coordinator can help brides alleviate a lot of the stress. Kay from GPH and Kristin Beckler certainly did for me. After all, it’s the biggest day of most girls’ lives and brides should enjoy and remember every moment of it.

From Cheeky DetailsBarbara and Trevor are such a beautiful couple, inside and out. Their genuine love for each other really does shine through from the first time you meet them. With five months of planning time, Barbara and Trevor contracted us after they booked their venue which coincidentally is one of our favorites on the island. They chose Hempstead House (Sands Point Preserve), a historic gold coast mansion built in 1912, because it fulfilled their desire to have a setting that was timeless; a blank slate where they could showcase who they were through all of the details of the day.

They said “I do” during a completely romantic ceremony overlooking the water amidst a clear blue sky. Their outdoor cocktail hour immediately followed where guests enjoyed a formal yet relaxed atmosphere just as the sun was setting. After which, guests were directed to find their escort card (which sat on a bed of flowers) and make their way into the mansion by following a beautiful path of white rose petals and candles.

The design concept was really important to Barbara. She knew that she wanted a very romantic French vintage vibe from the beginning and was a wedding planner’s dream come true when it came to all of the details. Since we literally had to bring every single aspect of the wedding into this venue, we were able to really make this huge mansion feel like their home for the night. Guests sat at a mix of rectangular tables, some exposed wood with draped lace runners and some covered with a variation of soft grey, blush and cream linens with just a pop of sequin. An abundance of candlelight flickered on the tables and through all of the rooms of the mansion. Vintage place settings, hand torn menus draped with silk ribbon and embroidered numbers all made an appearance on the tables as well.

The flowers were a mix of large flowing arrangements and smaller trinket pieces all in the muted palette that complemented the wedding. We brought in vintage furniture to the empty rooms of the mansion so that guests could stroll through and enjoy throughout the night. Two of our favorites were Barbara’s grandmother’s dresser (that her mother took pictures in front of on her own wedding day) that we used as part of our dessert lounge as well as her dining room table that Barbara and Trevor sat at that night. Barbara is very close with her grandmother so it made it even more special. Since one of B + T’s favorite things to do is enjoy the mornings together over coffee (also how Trev popped the question), we incorporated that into their favors and sent guests home with fresh beans from their favorite coffee spot.

From The Bride… Trevor and I met through mutual college friends 6 years ago. We then ran into each other in Boston and stayed in touch ever since. We connected instantly and formed an incredible friendship. Turns out after a year of friend ship we finally both admitted how we really felt, neither of us thought we were each others type so we never expressed how we felt! Trevor brought out this giddy high school crush feeling that was so refreshing! Since that day our relationship has been such an amazing adventure. We feel so lucky to have found each other.

Our wedding day was such an amazing reflection of us and to this day was one of the most magical days of our lives. We held in in an empty Guggenheim Estate and got to be apart of every decision for the aesthetic and decor. We wanted our guests to feel like they were attending an event in our own home. Even with over 100 guests it still felt personal and like “us.”

We mixed rented vintage furniture with pieces that had meaning to us. The table Trevor and I sat at was my Grandmother’s dining table and the dresser/mirror that our desserts were set up on was the vanity in my mothers old bedroom. It was the same mirror she got ready for her wedding day in front of. The day was incredibly magical, I transported to another world, a beautiful, ethereal, place I might have dreamt about as a chid. I’ll never forget the way it felt walking toward Trevor for our first look, and the look on his face!

We had Fitzgerald love quotes written on mirrors and on our ceremony program to evoke the time the mansion was built. The menus had hand torn edges, we used hand embroidered table numbers and vintage handkerchiefs were handed out for the ceremony. Long tables filled with candlelight to give a more of a personal feel. The best part of it all was being able to express our love for each other while being surrounded with our closest friends and family!

Spring Wedding Style Inspired by the Great Impressionism Artists

With April’s arrival, there’s no denying spring is on its way! It’s time to surround ourselves with those pretty pastels once again and what better way to get the party started than with this shoot inspired by artists we all admire. With dresses that Monet and Renoir would have gone gaga over and soft hair and makeup thanks to Face Time Beauty, Bespoke Only created the scene before us, showing off exactly why we love spring so much. See every blissful bit in our Vault thanks to Judy Pak right this way!

From Judy Pak… Inspired by Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and the one and only Claude Monet, the creative concept started by borrowing the unique nuanced approach of Impressionism artworks, to blend, mingle, whisk a subdued color palette to achieve a dreamy painterly effect, or “impression” – that is every bit romantic, but also rich and full of vibrancy.

Being set in a luminous glass farmhouse, a fluid color movement is unfolded in intriguing layers of subdued tints merged with a common transparency given by the softly veiled natural light. An unclothed farm table is a canvas itself for this textured painting made of a mix of hues of pale blush, soft yellow and periwinkle – dots of colors intermingle with one another on layered semi-sheer linen and tulle sequin; matte and glossy hand blown ceramics; unexpected blooms and foraged kumquats; illuminated crystal cut glass and candlesticks all together form a harmonious play. A rich sensory is revealed in the juxtaposition between the delicacy of floral gowns and the rather sparse farmhouse surrounding; nostalgia in the oil paintings and an otherwise modern decor.
