Real wedding: Sarah + Nick
The dress and shoes make this wedding for me…love the sparkle with tiny detailed petals fluttering all over the dress!
Vendors:
Venue: W Union Square
Catering: Todd English’s Olives
The W was the second place I looked at with my mother and our search ended there. The staff would have sold us if the space weren’t beautiful enough. Between the excellent onsite coordinator and quality of the food service, we felt like we were in great hands! And Nick and I are foodies, so guest expectations were pretty high.
Cake: LuLu Bakery
Cake Topper: www.fancyflours.com
I have been told this was the most delicious cake some people ever ate. I was not surprised.
Photography: Tory Williams
Before anyone even saw our photos, we got rave reviews about our photographer. She was always in the thick of things, but never in anyone’s way. She’s a photo ninja.
Florist: Denise Fasanello
Denise is a joy to work with. I wanted the wedding to be full or rich jewel tones and didn’t want to have to stick with a boring palette of two or three colors. Then I asked for food in my flowers. None of this threw her for a loop. She put together rich, lush arrangements dotted with rosemary, artichokes, pomegranates, sprays of olive branch, and berries.
Chuppah: my mom
Denise was wonderful in working with my mom on the chuppah. She kept the structure very simple and modern so that it didn’t complete with the beautiful tree of life design my mom created.
Ketubah: Rachel Deitsch
We decided to echo the tree of life theme in our interfaith egalitarian ketubah. Rachel is an amazing artist and so easy to work with on customization.
Invitations: Umi from Village Invites
I adore letterpress stationery, but found that invitations suites in letterpress were way out of budget. So I was thrilled when the incredible Linda at Village Invites told me that Elum Letterpress also makes a line of flatprinted cards!
Conversation starter guest books: Kate’s Paperie + DIY (inspiration from Martha Stewart!)

Have a fun weekend!
I’m takin’ off early this week to play some mini golf and bike around Coney Island with Chad as we finally say goodbye to summer! I thought I’d leave you with some adorable images of Alex & Jeremy’s wedding near my old stomping grounds of Brooklyn Heights…those guys know how to dress, just look at those coordinating bowties! I’ll see you back here on Tuesday bright and early, so enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Real wedding : Meredith + Andres
I haven’t been to visit Mass MOCA since my college days, but it really is an amazing pace to get married…especially when you’ve got rad art surrounding you!
We met the first day of college and had been together for nearly ten years by the time we walked down the aisle. Our wedding drew on the experiences we had accumulated and the passions we had nurtured together–for art and music, especially–over the years. The venue choice was an easy decision: we agreed that something felt sacred and tranquil about gallery spaces, and we had always loved visiting Mass MoCA. Moreover, we were honored to be the first couple to be married in the incredible Sol LeWitt galleries. In planning everything from the ceremony to the reception, we were particularly eager to blend our separate cultural traditions in ways that reflected how intertwined they had become in our own lives. We think the chuppah embodies this idea beautifully: designed by Andres’ mother, it was hand-embroidered by artisans in Suzhou, China with a poem from the ancient Book of Songs. Friends and family contributed other favorite details, as well. Meredith’s uncle, a New York City-based artist, potato-printed our ketubah as he had his own many years ago. As a wedding gift to ourselves, we worked with Swedish artist Andreas Samuelsson to make a custom print that we displayed at the wedding and used to create table markers and place cards. Each illustration represents a happy memory from our first decade together.
