From ceremonial structures, centerpieces, and linens to entertainment and cuisine, there are so many aspects that go into planning a beautiful wedding. All of these features are lost without amazing lighting. Lighting can be used to completely transform the look and feel of a venue, creating a breathtaking setting where memories that last a lifetime are made.

Finding your wedding dress can be a daunting task. You want to feel and look beautiful as soon as you put it on. You want the dress to be something you can’t stop thinking about even while sifting through rack after rack of other beautiful designs. Ultimately, you want what you wear down the aisle to represent you. Today, we talk with our featured bride Sophia about the moment she knew when to say “yes to the dress.”

Part 2: Wedding Gown & Personals

Like many brides-to-be, Sophia began the search for her wedding dress online. The worldwide web can be an overwhelming place, especially when looking for something that means so much to you. Sophia had an easier time than most though. “I spent a lot of time on the Internet looking for wedding dresses and found one that I kept going back to. As I went through the trying on process, it was the one that I would always compare the other dresses to. It didn’t take long before I knew that that first dress was the one for me.”

Sophia was enjoying drinks with friends on a Thursday evening. After catching up over a few rounds, she stepped away from the group to sit down and check the time on her phone. Her concern about the late hour and going to work in the morning must have been apparent because just seconds later a complete stranger approached and said, “Hey there! Why do you look so bored?” After introducing himself as Sam, he offered to buy Sophia a drink and introduce her to his friends. Once they got to the table, Sophia turned to Sam laughing and said, “Actually… these are all MY friends!”

Geometric Glamour at the Green Building

by

Ashley and Tiffany’s Brooklyn wedding at the Green Building featured geometric elements softened by a pastel palette. Their love was felt by the whole room as they tied the knot under a gorgeous suspended floral chandelier!

 

 

Ashley and Tiffany were amazing clients to work with! Tiffany had a very specific vision for her wedding decor, and carried elements throughout the whole affair that brought a beautiful softness to Brooklyn’s Green Building. The former brass foundry was built in 1889 and then converted into an event venue. Tiffany recalls how she and Rachel planned the florals for the space. “The venue is very rustic and I knew softening the floral color would bring a romantic feel to the space. I wanted the colors to be soft, however I left everything up to the creative direction of Rachel and her team as far as type of flowers would be used.”

 

Guests were treated to a stunning suspended floral chandelier under which Ashley and Tiffany exchanged vows. The rounded chandelier was created using lush and voluminous hydrangea for the base, several varieties of white, cream, blush and pink roses, pink carnations, cafe au lait dahlias and greenery.

 

Tiffany and Ashley carried geometric shapes throughout several of the wedding details to bring cohesion to the decor. It started with a gorgeous geometric invitation by Amanda Day Rose. Interlocking triangles and squares were repeated on table numbers, menus, signage, the wedding cake. For the tablescape, we designed a mixture of pastel toned cafe au lait dahlias, ranunculus, garden roses and Phalaenopsis orchids in terrarium and square glass vases that created a rustic feel across their long tables.

 

Tiffany recalls that her favorite moment of the night was actually after the wedding! Close family and friends of the brides went on a spontaneous karaoke outing. “Singing in our wedding attire was a perfect end to the night!”
