We wanted to try Hampton style in NYC! We created couple of different set up for wedding tables, flower, and food. We made the yellow and gray bouquet inspired by combination of buttons, especially vintage clock buttons. It was hand-tied with dusty miller, billy balls, yellow roses, daffodils and mixed vintage buttons. For warmth and an intimate mood, we used yarn balls in the main color scheme and combined with branched lemon to get the freshness. The table was set for a “romantic dinner for two” with vintage tea cans, stock, baby’s breath and arbicum in pastel blue and green.
The cheese, antipasto and bread display was a collaboration between the florist and caterer. The rustic theme was “Farm to Table.” The florist provided moss, little daisy flowers, and other greenery. The caterer provided vegetables (leeks, radishes, greens, turnips, beets and more) from Union Square Green Market to tie in. Whole bread and Parmesan bread sticks added to the “rustic” charm. Situating this station in front of exposed bricks was an excellent idea. Gary’s Loft has many antique and white washed tables and chairs that we were able to utilize. The mock kitchen at Gary’s Loft is a perfect place for a dessert station. Whether you go for a seated dinner or a buffet style event, having this dessert station is a nice idea. We included French macarons; lemon meringue pie; homemade apple pie; red velvet cupcakes; homemade chocolate chip cookies; cranberry, macadamia nut and oatmeal cookies; meringue cookies and favor jars filled with different flavors of jelly beans.
The silkscreened invitations showed a young country couple sitting on a bench, inspired by rustic and vintage style with an indie pink color.

From the Bride-to-Be… As undergraduate student athletes, we were champions competing at rival schools. Needless to say, we didn’t speak — ever. Our first encounter occurred when I drove from Boston to Albany to pick up my best friend Meghan who was visiting Jonathan with Larry, her then-boyfriend. Jonathan cracked a joke about speeding, and I replied with a smart remark. A few years later, we met again at the Dreams Resort in the Dominican Republic for Meghan and Larry’s wedding. During the trip, we took two pictures together and only had a single one-on-one conversation. Jonathan delayed my shuttle to the airport to make sure that he gave me his phone number. From August 12th on, we would talk on the phone for hours every day and began building our relationship as friends. Within a few months we were officially a long distance couple. Sustaining this type of relationship would have its challenges, nonetheless, it forced us to communicate openly and grow, both individually and as a couple. We’d arrange three-day weekends and meet in Albany, NY; Boston and Springfield, MA, every two to three weeks. After two years of long distance, I was accepted to Albany Law School and excited for the move.
From the Groom-to-Be… Before she moved here, I had spoken with both her family and mine to ask for their blessing. Everyone replied with a resounding YES! I custom designed her engagement ring in New York City to symbolize how special she is to me. On August 12, the date of our second anniversary and her moving day, I planned a detour at the state border to propose. The plan was to leave Boston with enough time to see the sun set at the peak of Mt. Summit, located on the border of New York and Massachusetts. But when we got there, we had just enough time to find a campsite before the sun set. I pulled out my pre-written engagement letter and began to read it to her. She started hyperventilating and repeatedly pushed her left hand in my face … no spoken response. Although she was speechless, we understood what that moment meant for both of us.
From the Couple… Since then, we have transitioned smoothly into this stage of our relationship and have begun planning our wedding. Still over a year away from the actual day, we have already taken engagement pictures in Central Park, New York City (by G.E Masana — AMAZING!). We are to be wed on our anniversary weekend next year.
