Romantic & Elegant New York Garden Wedding

Casual, yet elegant; romantic, but fun – we always love a good garden wedding! For their beautiful ceremony, Kristen and Chris were particularly inspired by classical English gardens; but they added their own style with soft colors, fun typography, lush and romantic centerpieces, and their own amazing programming (fire pits, dessert buffet, a cigar bar, and a photo booth were just a few of the amazing amenities). Jen Huang Photography was behind the lens capturing the beautiful memories as these hometown sweethearts wed in true style. With immaculate details and execution by Roey Mizrahi Events.

Check out the beautiful and inspirational details below!

From Roey Mizrahi Events… Kristen and Chris’ love story begins in the town in which they both grew up. While they hadn’t met until several years after high school, they quickly made up for lost time and crafted a playful relationship. It was clear they were destined for one another and as a result, Chris asked Kristen for her hand in marriage at the top of the Belvedere Castle in Central Park.

The couple was inspired by thoughts of an elegant English garden for their late August wedding. After a handful of venue visits, Kristen and Chris fell in love with NYIT’s de Seversky Mansion. It was the perfect combination of old world charm, elegance and beauty. On the day of, a quaint glass terrarium settled upon a rustic wooden table served to provide guests with custom programs and handkerchiefs for the ceremony. Behind the mansion, in a setting adorned with natural and lush florals, the ceremony was held underneath a towering linden tree. The couple recited custom vows, crafted by Collette McGuire from Ceremonies and Beyond, to one another before friends, family, and loved ones.

After a plentiful cocktail hour, guests were escorted into the dining room for a round of toasts presented in front of the large marble fireplace decorated with an assortment of candles. The room had a romantic & soft glow, each table lit intimately by a handful of votives. The centerpieces were lush and romantic, overflowing olive branches draped onto the shimmering linens. Anne Kilcullen from Blade Floral & Event Design truly transformed the space into one that was unimaginable and beyond the couples expectations. After dinner, the celebration moved towards a glass-enclosed porch which allowed for the stars above to act as the backdrop to the couple’s emotional first dance and the ensuing merriment. The guests had the freedom to congregate on the outdoor patio surrounding fire pits, indulging in the abundant dessert buffet, the cigar bar and the playful and entertaining photo booth.

From the beautiful Bride… With the endless guidance, advice and vision from Roey Mizrahi Events, everything fell perfectly into place. Her team was there the day of to ensure that the couple had the most amazing time and everything ran smoothly. Jen Huang Photography and McKenzie Miller Films beautifully captured all of the days moments from start to finish. This stellar team of vendors truly created the most magical day for Kristen & Chris, a day they have vocalized will be cherished forever and looked back upon with such fondness and swollen hearts.

I just wanted it to feel really warm and romantic without being too frilly. I also love classic elements but I didn’t want our wedding day to be too traditional. So I tried to mix the two with a soft and somewhat muted color scheme, really lush and romantic flowers, natural fiber linens, clean lines when it came too my dress and our stationery but then introduced some fun swirly calligraphy and of course lace. Our venue also helped capture that warm aura without feeling too vintage or too formal and stuffy. When everything came together, it was better than we could’ve imagined. I kept saying “I want our flowers to feel like an old English garden” and I think that’s exactly what Anne, our Florist accomplished, but it didn’t feel too casual thanks to our amazing & elegant venue!

Shannon & Stephen’s Wedding – Savannah, GA

Take a moment to be transported back in time to the Gatsby era.

We are so excited to see the stunning photos of Shannon & Stephen’s wedding, immaculately executed by the amazing designer Emily Burton and photographed by The Mullers.

Shannon had a unique vision to create a Great Gatsby-styled theme: elegant, classy, and with a whimsical touch, which we were thrilled to be a part of through our Glamour and Romance linen collections.

Shannon and Emily chose three different linens to create three different types of textures. They went with our Silver Sequin Taffeta from our Glamour Collection to coordinate with the Bridesmaids Dresses. For the Cake Table, they chose our Gold Sequin Linen. As for the Guest Tables, they went with a Raised Rosette from our Romance Collection.

The beautiful Bridesmaids’ Dresses from Saks Fifth Avenue were a subtle compliment to Shannon’s gorgeous Wedding Dress by Ready or Knot, while hair and makeup were skillfully executed by Joey Salinas and Pretty Much to keep the lavish 1930’s theme authentic and true to Shannon’s original vision.

Shannon and Stephen were really the front and center of the show, especially with the stunning, two-sided floral arrangement that served as an elegant reminder of who this special day was all about.

We truly hope that Shannon and Stephen’s marriage is as beautiful and ever-lasting as the beauty of their celebration.
