A Real New York Wedding | Kristin + Aaron's Vineyard Wedding | Blue Wedding Inspiration

Hello Lovelies!

Today we are featuring a gorgeous Long Island wedding, shot by Lennon Photo, on a vineyard!

Kristin and Aaron are such a beautiful couple, here is a bit more about their wedding story from the Bride: Aaron and I met during freshman orientation at Tufts University in 2005. It turned out we lived just feet away from each other on the same floor in the same dorm, and we've been together ever since.
One special touch that has a cute story - Aaron's cufflinks were repurposed T tokens from the Boston subway. Just before we started dating, we went to an OK Go concert together in nearby Cambridge. On the way back to Tufts, just as we got down to the subway station and our train was pulling up, Aaron realized he didn't have any tokens (yes, Boston's subway system was still running on tokens just eight years ago). We hurried through the turnstile together using my one token (don't tell the MBTA!) and with that spontaneous end to an already fun night I realized I was falling for Aaron and that we would be more than friends... I ordered the cufflinks through Etsy and they were a surprise that he opened that morning.

How special and creative! We love all of the personal touches that make up this wedding. Check out all of the gorgeous blue details to start off our something blue week!

Thursday Trend Day | Reversible Bridesmaid Dresses

Hello Lovelies!

Today our trend features the Durga-Kali Dress, a bridesmaid dress which is reversible into the perfect little black dress! Two dresses for the price of one, what a deal! This is a patent-pending collection of reversible dresses that women can wear again and again. None of us want to spend the money on a dress merely to have it collect dust after just one event? These dresses let you be elegant in your gown at that black tie event or in the wedding party - and then be a diva in a little black dress for a night on the town!

Durga Sundaram-McCurdy the designer behind the durga-kali brand was born and raised in the US, greatly influenced by her Indian heritage. The brand was named Durga-Kali after a Hindu goddess, Durga and Kali represent two different aspects of her: Durga is the loving, calm form of the goddess, while Kali is the powerful, menacing warrior who destroys evil.

We love this creative and inspired design for bridesmaid dresses!

A Real New York Wedding | Julie + Ryan's Battery Gardens Wedding

Hello Lovelies!

Our wedding today takes place at Battery Gardens, a lovely venue at the corner of Battery Park at the southernmost tip of Manhattan. Sarah Tew Photography captured the entire day beautifully!

We love the simplicity and elegance of this NYC wedding. Absolutely stunning!

Here is more from the photographer: We started the day shooting their getting ready process in a nearby hotel– Julie looked amazing in her dress and I just loved the necklace she wore (it was her grandmother’s!). My 2nd shooter, Sarah, took Ryan outside before us and set him up so we could do their first look on some stairs to a museum near the Bowling Green subway station. Their wedding was on the same day as the NYC Five Boro Bike Tour so naturally we had to navigate a pack of bikers along our portrait walk into Battery Park towards the venue, but it was adorable and the couple got some bike-bell-rings and congratulations as they made their way. I spotted a beautiful pink-flowering tree not far from the restaurant where we could make the family portraits and not be in direct squinty sunlight or the wind coming off the water… and I gave this tree some bonus points for matching Ryan’s pink tie! We went inside for the Ketubah signing while guests were greeted with a family favorite cocktail in the ground floor of the restaurant. Then we were treated to a very sweet ceremony upstairs, after which the staff of Battery Gardens beautifully transformed the room into a tabled reception with dance floor and band setup while guests enjoyed cocktails downstairs and outside on the patio. Julie & Ryan’s reception had a uniquely lovely flow to it– they did all their eating and toasts first and then launched into their first dance and Hora so that the rest of the night was one big party on the dance floor. Everyone had a marvelous time and it showed!
