Winery Wedding Invitations

Denise and Adam truly had a unique vision for their invitations. With the help of their talented friend, Nestor, and the design skills of Kayleigh Jankowski, this couple selected invitations that not only reflect a clever wedding logo (DnA), but that also showcase the elegance and refinement of their day. We can’t wait for their July winery wedding! Printing and paperie courtesy of Cards and Pockets and thanks to Abigail Hancock for the gorgeous calligraphy!

A Brilliant Wedding: Lorraine & Dave

Sarah — Mon, 10 May 2010 12:03:11 +0000

We couldn’t resist sharing these final shots of Lorraine & Dave’s big day. We brought in the Cold Stone Creamery team to feature an ice cream station…it was a huge hit! Another highlight of the evening was their first dance – a choreographed dance of “New York, New York” mixed with “Dirty Water” that dazzled their guests and really set a fun tone for the evening. And finally, a private moment shared between the newlyweds in the wings of the theater. Congratulations Lorraine & Dave!

A Brilliant Wedding: Lorraine & Dave, Reception

Sarah — Fri, 07 May 2010 19:49:33 +0000

Lorraine & Dave’s reception was a dramatic Spring Soiree filled with shades of salmon and green at the Millennium Broadway’s Hudson Theater. The garden-inspired centerpieces from Rountree Flowers highlighted blush-colored peonies – an ideal bloom for this spring wedding design! The escort cards were on a show-stopping bed of pave flowers – a mixture of spider mums, hydrangea and roses. Guests enjoyed a caramel apple favor for their “Big Apple” wedding symbolizing a donation to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering foundation made by the couple. The entire stationery suite was designed by the talented Kayleigh Jankowski and printed by Cards and Pockets and included a hand-drawn rendition of the cathedral and NYC skyline.

We still have one more set of amazing images from this special day, stay tuned!

Coaster-Inspired Wedding

I came across this beautiful coaster by Nectar Ale at a local pub and loved the color palette so much that had to create an inspiration board for it! Just goes to show that your event inspiration can come from anywhere.
