A New York City hall wedding with chic roaring ’20s Chinatown reception
Rachel and Tim started their day with some portraits that celebrated the city they love, New York City, with a panoramic view on top of The James Hotel. Then it was off to New York City Hall for the ceremony in their chic and retro-inspired outfits. That alone is eye candy galore, but it gets even better!
For their reception the next day, it was all about Gatsby bliss for 75 guests at Jing Fong in Chinatown. Think flapper dresses, peacock headpieces, a knockout cake, and delicious dim sum.
Turtles! Brunch! Dogs in ties! This rainbow lesbian wedding is all about furever love
Since Caitlin proposed to Kris with the tortoises at the Southwick Zoo, we included the turtles in all our little details including a custom logo designed by Caitlin/paper straws with turtle cutouts (save the sea turtles!), handknit turtle coffee sleeve favors which doubled as a seating chart by Caitlin’s grandmother Marcia, and even more turtle decorations.
Since it was a lesbian wedding, we of course had to include rainbows!
A magical Italian fall wedding inspired by autumn leaves
Morena and Fabio were married at Masseria Bonelli in Noci, Italy in a warm, magical, sun-lit Italian wedding. You have to see her pink vintage-inspired dress and matching hat, their luscious fruit-covered cake, their sweet bow-tied pooch, and the dried flowers and rustic touches everywhere.
