Hello friends!

Just a quick note today to say that my lovely summer 2017 couple, Starsha + Andrei, are featured on Catalyst Wedding Co.'s blog today. Isn't this family stunning?

They are proof that you can do things your way at your wedding, and have the most amazing time! Spend the money on what matters most to you, DIY the rest if you can, invite everybody to a big party, and have a wonderful time. What more do you need?

xoxo,

My seventh wedding of 2017 was a miracle of connections. Reconnecting with me after a decade through an insta search for #weddingshoes (seriously!), I was so impressed you found me! You had planned everything as you wanted it for your intimate and personal Brooklyn wedding to A, and I was so honored to come on board in the final weeks (literally!) to help bring it all together. Passing the day-of duties on to my amazing assistant coordinator, Katie, we got you through a slightly rainy outdoor wedding without missing a beat. My every warm wish goes to you and your family for a memorable 2018!

xoxo,

As I look forward to my 2018 couples and weddings, I'm FINALLY getting around to featuring all of the gorgeousness and awesomeness of my 2017 couples!

The 2017 wedding season began early for me with this stunner of a wedding! With glorious Gowanus, Brooklyn as their backdrop, this Astoria, Queens couple gathered 120 of their nearest and dearest to celebrate their union at what has easily become one of my favorite wedding venues, The Green Building, which had a former industrial life as home to the Brass Foundry. The bride had a hand in every design detail - from consulting with her florist (Petals & Roots) on the tablescapes, to selecting chargers, flatware, lighting, signage, and welcome table decor - at every turn the choices felt uniquely like the bride and groom.

April showers came early for this late March wedding, moving the first look and all formal photos indoors while I oversaw final venue preparations (including place carding each seat at the table with my handwritten calligraphy). The ceremony, officiated by a mutual friend, was deeply heartfelt, from the couple's written vows, to the groom selecting a surprise song for his soon-to-be wife to process down the aisle to (inside scoop: she recognized it immediately and knew its meaning).

After vows, we flipped the room effortlessly, converting it from formal ceremony seating to reception space, all while guests noshed on delicious food and drink from Brooklyn's own Pies 'n' Thighs (who also catered the buffet dinner). Toasts, dances, and cake cutting followed, until the couple opened the dance floor for a late-night party, while friends scooped up Coolhaus Ice Cream and Pies 'n' Thighs signature pies and donuts. As the clock struck midnight, all departed to the afterparty, and we turned off the lights on this gorgeous venue. But for the bride and groom, their journey was just getting started!
