They were both really excited about the argyle socks for the boys. Note the purple diamond in the mix, one of their colors.

Check out Lisa’s dress- sparkly gorgeousness. Lisa fell in love with the dress for its own merits, but also enjoyed the fact that it was designed by the Project Runway winner Kenneth Pool because she loves the show.

Lisa and Scott poured their heart and souls into the paper products. They did a great job creating a consistant feel using their colors of aubergine, eggplant and fuchsia.

The program…

The reception table seating cards…

The labels for the candy take-away boxes…

The labels for the gift bags for guests staying at the hotel…

Her invitation suite was purchased through Cartier. Love the simple elegance of it.

Lisa and Scott had seen our engagement sign-in album when we first met them at the bridal show. They later selected to have us create their guest book from their New York City engagement session. The images were great; I am glad they chose to use them in this way.

One of the most exciting details of the wedding was all of the music. Jazz musicians of CZONE performed during the cocktail hour and during the reception.

And the lion dancers of Gund Kwok kicked off the reception with pomp and circumstance.

First there was the cocktail hour, complete with sushi, a saute station and carving station. Guests were wowed by all the delicious offerings, especially the ones prepared right before their eyes.

Once the guests were seated. They received this gorgeous shrimp cocktail.

Then a beautiful salad.

The dinner concluded with a succulent Surf and Turf of lobster tail and steak.

But dessert was not far behind. The cake cutting soon followed.

And then the staff rolled out the candy bar. Guests had a blast filling up their gift boxes with all sorts of yummies.

All this talk of candy and chocolate and sweets, oh my! I need to go find a snack.

Really exciting news- Allison and Adam’s wedding was just published in Destination Weddings and Honeymoons magazine. The mag recently hit the stands, and it looks awesome.

You can actually catch a sneak peak here. Our spread is on page 58-59. But here’s what it looks like.

Still, if you actually want to read it and see the pix better, you have to check out the real thing.

First the flowers. Lisa selected Teresa from Mimosa to create her floral design. From the very first moment, it was clear that Lisa had chosen the right professional for her wedding. Her bouquet (above) and all of the personal flowers arrived in a gorgeous box. And each piece was beautifully crafted. I love the soft pinks and whites of peonies and orchids.

The groom’s boutonniere.

The ceremony site was decorated with beautiful tall arrangements of willow and orchid branches. The colors were soft pinks and greens.

A close up of one arrangement.

The flowers for the reception were equally stunning. Centerpieces included willow branches with orchids attached or at the base. In vibrant hues of pink and purple, the room was magical.

One table.

Variation on a theme.

Still more variation at another table. (Side note- Lisa and Scott created the table number displays and aren’t they amazing? I love the look of the lace in the shadowbox frame.)

For the cocktail reception, a similar style with a focus on the greens….

Beautiful touches at every corner! Thank you to Teresa and her team for giving us this floral art to photograph. Stunning work, Teresa.

When the guests first arrived, they were greeted by a security detail and serenaded by violinists.

They entered the Grand Ballroom of Gotham Hall to find their escort cards laid out on this beautiful table. Then took their seats for the ceremony behind it.

At the top of the entry, you see the full view of the ceremony space. The aisle lined with elegant floral arrangements on pedestals. But the Chuppah was simply out of this world. I love the view from the inside looking out. This is one canopy I would gladly start the rest of my life under, and for that matter spend the rest of my life under (assuming the flowers wouldn’t die).

And a close up…

And you can get the full awesomeness of the scene, as the bride takes her first steps done the aisle…

Another amazing aspect of this wedding was the food- the presentation was simply a work of art. The champagne was chilled in ice sculptures.

An array of sushi in every shape, size and color.

The bride and groom were Russian Jews so the food also needed to pay homage to their roots. Each guest received a rainbow of caviar at his seat.

And the piece d’resistance, the stunning cake designed by Sylvia Weinstock. The craftsmanship, technique and attention to detail that goes into her cakes are exemplary.

During the cocktail hour, the David Tutera team transformed the space from the ceremony arrangement you saw above to the reception arrangement below. I think they had just over an hour to get it all done.

They turned the Chuppah into a canopy for the sweetheart table. This is the bride and groom’s view (looking to the right) during the reception.

And another view (straight ahead), where they can see the dance floor.

Some of the tables were arranged in a criss-cross patern. In the center was this tall arrangement with roses, willow branches, and all kinds of flowers pouring out of the urn and the pedestal.

These displays of calla lillies, roses, and crystals were placed throughout the hall and reached way into the sky.

The whole look was stunning. A huge thank you to David Tutera and his team. We are so thrilled that we could be a part of this beautiful design and capture these images for you.

Deana selected merlot and lavender as the primary colors for her wedding, perfect choices for the vineyard and autumn.

The guest cards…

Bridesmaids bouquets…

Ceremony flowers blend beautifully with the look of the full gardens on the property.

Some accent flowers with a brighter flare…

Deana also had some custom designed elements that really showed off her sense of style.

The menu and the gift…

A better look inside the box, these are wine flavored gourmet chocolate truffles. So delicious!

The meal was a special treat- surf and turf prepared in California style, with all fresh ingredients.

Finally the cake was an elegant square shape with beautiful gold swirls, surrounded by burgundy rose petals.

A few other special touches…

The wedding invitations.

The super cool stamp.
