I celebrated my birthday on Monday amidst lilacs and florae hiking at Blue Hill Reservation, MA with my sis, my baby niece, my bro-in-law, and Chandler. It was an ideal day.
The lush outdoors is still on my mind. I'm posting a couple of more from Anli and Kenneth's BBG wedding to keep me there.
More to come from this beautiful wedding once I'm back from my weekend away, shooting an Indian wedding in Delaware...Thanks to Yeram my new intern for helping with these grids and posts : )
On two pages in two different features in Brides New York magazine this season.
It's not easy to plan a winter wedding in NYC. No one knows what the weather will be like. Layering in a beautiful way is tricky, and impending snowstorms are definite considerations.
On Jan 3rd, Irene Vallye and Quinn Martin Jr. lucked out. Situated in the heart of the historic South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan, the sun set beautifully over their venue: the beautiful glass enclosed Bridgewaters.
The talented graphic designer, Irene Vallye, designed and planned her wedding from scratch. She created her invites, monograms, coasters, menus, maps and more stationery for her guests. She designed the program and favors on paper and had them all printed professionally, while everything else she letterpress printed herself. The plan was to letterpress everything, but she ran out of time and had to outsource. I was still really impressed!
A melange of top of the line vendors assisted in the making of the couple's wedding day. Here is the List:
Location, food and cake: Bridgewaters
Stationery (invitations, favors, menus, coasters, programs and save the dates): Irene Vallye, the bride herself.
Dress: Legends by Ramona Keveza
Veil: designed by Anna Vallye, her sister
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman for the ceremony + 1st dance. Christian Louboutin for the Reception.
Bridesmaids Dresses: Ann Taylor CELEBRATIONS line in Crimson and Grape.
Bouquets: Irene and her bridesmaid Nadya bunched calla lillies for she and her maids.
Boutonnieres, corsages, cocktail hr. and reception centerpieces: Ali Barone of Diana Gould Ltd.
Make Up: Her bridesmaid Suzy Gerstein who normally does make up for fashion shoots.
Band: East Village Exchange
Ceremony Musicians: Juniper String Trio
Hair: Stacey Pitt
Marty's Suit: Calvin Klein
Irene's Fur: Vintage
Broach: It's actually a button from M& J Trimming (in Manhattan).
Inspiration: Irene found me and a lot of other inspiration on the fabulous Style Me Pretty blog!
John and Elizabeth were married at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Both are incredibly creative: John is a puppet fabricator, special effects artist and sculptor and Elizabeth is a floral designer (she actually designed her flowers and her friends acted as freelances to execute them). They met at Curious Pictures working on a stop motion animation series called "A Little Curious" on HBO. They were building sets and characters. How cute is that?
I absolutely love Elizabeth's style of dress, their wedding purples and greens, and their arrangements too. Stunning wedding.
Happy New Year!
