natalie and ravi got married at the eventi hotel in midtown manhattan, one of our favorite hotels with its modern design and artistic details.  after their first look on the terrace, we took a few wedding day portraits around town and headed back to the hotel for their ceremony–a sweet candlelight ceremony before their family and friends.  they said i do and met their guests on the terrace for cocktails at dusk, while the empire state building became aglow in the blue city sky.  the celebration continued in the ballroom with dinner and dancing.  such an awesome manhattan wedding day for two homegrown new yorkers.

this is not your average backyard wedding.  adrienne’s parents’ home, which has been in her family for generations, is a french country dream, nestled in the woods of cross river, new york.  their home was built on rolling hills so a platform had to be built against a hill to host the tent where their reception took place.  the home itself is an eclectic french country home, each room being ornate enough to host the fanciest of black-tie cocktail parties and at the same time, cozy enough to curl up on a rainy afternoon with the sunday times.  it has all the unique charm you could ever want in an actual visit to the french countryside.

it was a perfect spring morning, weather-wise and other-wise.  brett from la maison fete was running the show while Dana Worlock from Hedgerow covered floral design.  adrienne and per’s sun-speckled ceremony took place in the orchard, just in front of the sculpture/water feature.  after cocktails and lawn games on the patio, guests were invited into the tent for an incredible summer meal by Fancy Girl Catering which included edible florals on nearly every plate.   lots of dancing and a few toasts later, the party was in full-effect.  toward the end of the night, we followed the bride and groom out front where they released glowing wish lanterns into the dark blue summer night sky.  this was one celebration we wont soon forget.  cheers to this unique couple’s nuptials.  so grateful to have been a part of it!

nicole and erik’s wedding day took place at Ashokan Dreams, nestled in the Catskills overlooking the Ashokan Reservoir.  Ashokan Dreams is also the groom’s childhood home.  the eclectic rustic interior is a mix of americana and mountain coziness we loved the taxidermy and the cabin vibe– both complimented the stunning mountain views.  those views became the backdrop for their personalized, emotional ceremony during which their friends and families laughed and cried.  The bouquets, boutonnieres and the ceremony arch were created by A Night in Bloom florists. afterward the ceremony, cocktails flowed and everyone moved into the tent for dinner, which was catered by the lekker food truck.  a dance floor fueled by the truly talented Eturnity Band followed dinner and lasted into the night.  an ice cream station was the perfect treat for this hot summer night.  nicole and erik are so cute together and we are so grateful to have been a part of their beautiful outdoorsy wedding day.

brooke and brian’s wedding day took place at The Sleepy Hollow Country Club, nestled in Pocantico Hills near the Hudson River.  its a special venue with views of the golf course and the town of briarcliff manor.  the ornate interior with gold details and antique, paneled walls was not only impressive but the perfect backdrop for this brooke and brian’s wedding vision– a formal black tie party with exquisite details that felt elegant and unique.  oh, and did we mention brooke’s incredible floral-printed bridal gown?  definitely one of my favorite parts of the day.

although a few rain clouds passed through on the morning of their wedding day, all cleared up by the time their guests were arriving for their outdoor ceremony, overlooking the course.  their heartfelt ceremony commenced as the sun set behind them.  after cocktails, their guests moved into the tent for dinner + dancing.  most seats were empty throughout the entire party– the bride herself has a background in dance and apparently her talent + enthusiasm rubbed off on the crowd. their choreographed first dance ended with a lift and a dip–need we say more?   also completely obsessed with the incredible Dane Wright Band who left everything they had on the dance floor–literally.  toward the end of the night, we remember seeing the lead singer on his back, along with the groom and father of the bride, during an energetic version of shout.  cutest detail ever?  a popsicle cart outside the tent for guests as they left on this hot summer evening.  we LOVE brooke and brian and their amazing wedding celebration.  so grateful to have been a part of it!
