“There is that family aspect – both my parents and I still live in parts of the building. We are at The Foundry every day and consider it our home.” For The Foundry’s Managing Director Allison Du Val, running one of New York City’s premier event venues is much more than just a job. She grew up in The Foundry, skipping through the building’s maze-like corridors and exploring its raw grounds daily. Over the next two decades, she watched the former metal foundry, which was also her home, transform into a captivating space for hosting weddings and exclusive parities.

When it comes to inspiration, flowers can be incorporated into just about every element of your wedding including stationery. And nothing announces a romantic event like blossoming invitations. What is so great about about floral motifs is that they can be used to compliment any wedding style ranging from refined luxury to whimsical garden.

We know that couples in the midst of planning their wedding right now are being faced with decisions like never before. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you.

From the dress and shoes to hairstyle and manicure, every detail of the bride’s ensemble is an expression of her unique style.

While we love talking about gowns and accessories, nothing gets us more excited than the topic of wedding bouquets. We could go on for hours about the fresh, sophisticated romance of Priyanka Chopra’s ribbon accented arrangement. Since many of our clients have celebrity wedding photos pinned to their vision boards, we thought it would be fun to highlight the famous brides whose bouquets captured our eyes, hearts, and imaginations over the last near seventy years.
