Follow along at this Brooklyn wedding which takes place at each relationship milestone location
Want to hear the BEST love story to take place in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, NY? Nadira and Dave both moved to the neighborhood before they ever met, got to know each other at a local bar, fell in love, got matching tattoos for their engagement, and got married, all just steps from the apartment they now share together. Each part of their wedding day was held at a place that was a part of their journey, from where they met, to where they went on their first date, to where they got their matching tattoos.
This is one to savor as you follow the journey…
Let’s remember the beauty of fall at this laid-back Adirondack wedding
We knew we wanted it to be in the fall, outdoors, and on my grandparent's property, overlooking the lake that I have been going to since I was born, as well as my mother when she was a kid. It's practically our second home and is the only place I ever imagined getting married.
This “Blasian Invasion” wedding channeled films, diversity, and classic NYC
Blasian Invasion! We looked at this as a celebration of the union of our incredibly diverse community. My family is Afroperuvian and my husband is Filipino. Our heritage is very important to both of us, as well as our need for artistic creativity and expression. We wanted to celebrate in our home city, NYC, a place that really embodies these qualities.
A 1950s-inspired rustic vintage craft beer wedding
I love ’50s-inspired everything so my dress was tea-length and my makeup was more of a pin-up look with a birdcage veil and victory roll. We also really looked for an off-the-beaten-path location in New Jersey, which is not so easy! We settled on the Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ which is an old grist mill. Our ceremony was in the saw mill. We are also huge craft beer fans, so our tables were covered with hop leaves and our centerpieces were our own personal growlers. I tried to do a lot of DIY with decorating the pallets and using old windows for signs and the seating arrangement.
A little Disney & a lot of creative details at this Disney-inspired New Jersey wedding
Arielle and Bryan are both established actors who have major creative streaks and a love for Disney. Arielle actually crafted her own dress and made her flower arrangement and reception decor, including the amazing Disney-themed display that will blow your mind. Best part? They held the ceremony in the same church in which Arielle’s parents were married! So sweet.
The reception had a casual vibe with no announcements, coloring pages for children (Disney-themed, natch!), a song written and sung by Arielle’s brother(!), and tons of dancing. You’ll want to see the final lift at the end…
Wristbands, fireworks, lasers, & glow sticks at this musical fest inspired wedding
Rachel and Rob love music festivals and wanted their wedding to reflect that passion with festival wristbands, a glitter and glow stick bar, a bonfire, fireworks, multiple music acts, lasers, and live art. They hosted it at all at Stone Tavern Farm in Roxbury, NY with the ceremony in the glowing field beneath a tree. Don’t miss the hot dog-costumed toast, a glitter and glow station, a live painting being created during the wedding, and a surprise fireworks display followed by an after party with live music performed by Space Bacon and an accompanying laser show. Here’s what Rachel had to say about it all…
