The amazing photography was done by Katie DiSimone who has the all-important gifts of being both inconspicuous and in the right place at ALL the right times! (She also happens to be great at keeping the day running on time... something we cherish!) And the flawless flowers were by none other than Flowers by Kim.
Kristen and Chris were an easy-going couple, who were completely "twitterpated" with each other (sorry guys, no other word seemed to describe it quite as well). Kristen's sense of understated elegance and love of natural beauty truly inspired all of the vendors who were lucky enough to participate in this wedding.
The Ceremony
We collaborated with Flowers by Kim to create an understated and refined floral design that highlighted the immaculate landscaping and lush views at the groom's family home. A winding garden-path style aisle led guests into the amphitheater seating. The mother of the groom ordered a few special accents to really personalize the day for her future daughter-in-law. This was garden elegance at it's best!
The Reception
Continuing the garden feeling into the reception at the Park Ballroom, we kept a neutral palette of taupe, pale pinks, and ivory. This allowed the dark green patterned carpet of the ballroom to remain a neutral lawn-like backdrop to the gorgeous architecture and gleaming wood. Flowers by Kim used lace and a "garden" variety of flowers for the centerpieces. This was offset by mercury glass votives, and the entire reception was highlighted by ivory lace overlays and champagne pink and pearl accents. One of our favorite accents was the 3-tier ombre pink cake, which added just a touch of modern glamour to the romance of the evening.
