Read moreMegan still remembers the first time that Jodie took her to Stone Barns in Tarrytown. They explored the farm and the adjoining state park. Jodie casually mentioned that if she ever got married, it would be at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. When she proposed, it was a no brainer for them to get married there. Megan and Jodie’s idea for the wedding was on the non-traditional side. The best way they described it was a wedding with all the boring parts taken out. They did not plan on having a ceremony and eloped in Central Park in August instead. They wanted to have an awesome party with their family and friends. None of the typical formality involved in weddings.
Read moreDue to covid, Randi and Evan decided to have an intimate wedding with family two years ago and planned a bigger party in 2022 at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. It was on their 2 year anniversary to the date. They named it a “We Do” Re-Do. Paperfinger illustrated their save the date with Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Katie Fischer Design created their invitation suite which had a painting of their dog Dipsea on the liner, which I absolutely adored. Since they already took a lot of wedding portraits in Randi’s wedding gown 2 years ago, she decided to wear a different dress for their portraits around Blue Hill at Stone Barns with Allan Zepeda.
Read moreThat transition between the end of summer and early autumn is so beautiful. The bride wore a custom gown by Carol Hannah. The Lutosa ballgown with exposed boning and seamed bodice in a brushstroke organza jacquard, woven exclusively for Carol Hannah in Italy. She carried a bouquet with blush café au lait dahlias. The groom wore a pale grey suit and a boutonniere with seeded eucalyptus.
Read moreDid you know you can have a wedding in the main restaurant at Blue Hill at Stone Barns? They offer daytime weddings for a smaller guest count. This worked out perfectly for what Brittney and Adam had in mind for their wedding. With guests arriving at 10AM, we had an early start to the day. Brittney and Adam wanted to take pictures before their guests arrived at Blue Hill, so she woke up really early to start makeup with Face Time Beauty at 5AM in the morning. I’m an early bird anyway, so the early start was great for me. Arriving at dawn at Blue Hill was quite beautiful. For a while it was just me and the baker (who was making the most delicious bread). The bakery is right next to the private dining room, which was where we had Brittney get ready.
Read moreIn what has been an incredibly wet year for weddings, we finally had a day when I didn’t have to keep checking my three weather apps throughout the day. It was a gorgeous September day at Blue Hill at Stone Barns for Carmen and Matt. We had to reschedule their wedding twice due to COVID-19, and everyone was so happy when the big day finally came. Both sets of parents spent many weeks in quarantine on their journey from China. Carmen and Matt were both such a pleasure to work with. They dealt with the pandemic challenges with compassion and grace. I think this bodes well for a long and happy marriage!
Read moreI have always been fond of sunshine yellow and was so happy to hear that this couple loved it too. For the dinner in the hayloft, Poppies and Posies used delicate yellow sunflowers woven throughout their arrangements of olive, geranium, zinnia, lisianthus, cosmos, dahlia and unripe raspberries. These were displayed in ceramic vases that complimented the beautiful china that Blue Hill at Stone Barns uses.
Read moreOften couples come to me with a venue they already have in mind, but sometimes I get to work with couples right from the beginning. It is really exciting to learn what an engaged couple hopes for and how they want to feel on their wedding day. We looked at some great wedding venues all around NYC and the winner was the Four Seasons Downtown Hotel.

Read moreThere is something that is really special about a Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in autumn! The fall foliage for Liz and Gabe was spectacular and made for some incredible scenery for portraits with our photographer Fiona Conrad. Gabe’s friend is an artist who creates wind art using a machine setup in a certain place for a while that captures movements on paper with the power of the wind in that place. Gabe commissioned some of her artwork and Fourteen Forty used the artwork in a combination of metallic copper and navy for the invitation suite. It was modern and really unique!
Read moreI have always loved the architecture and details of the interior of Cipriani 25 Broadway. I have been at that venue so many times, and each time I always find myself taking one more photo of that jaw dropping ceiling. The florals from Fleurs brought an enchanted garden feeling for dinner with plenty of lush greenery and romantic white and blush roses.
Read moreMost of our Blue Hill at Stone Barns weddings range from 150-220 guests, but sometimes we get to plan an intimate celebration and it is small enough to fit in the main dining room in the restaurant. Which I absolutely adore! Michelle and Dmitri celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal at Blue Hill in the fall. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesdays, so it allows us to use the space for a special celebration on a Monday night after a holiday weekend!
Read moreThe time of year when the weather is just turning cooler and the leaves start changing is when Jennie and Travis decided to get married at beautiful Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Pocantico Hills, NY.

Read moreAs the weather is starting to turn cooler in New York, I'm thinking back to this gorgeous autumn wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Sarna and Matthew were married on a crisp fall day at one of my favourite venues. Sarna wore a stunning vintage inspired beaded gown from Jenny Packham and fresh flowers in her hair.
Read moreSara and Chris were looking for a bucolic venue not too far from the city, and they found that at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. They were able to host a wedding that felt elegant, seasonal, wild and autumnal. Sara was 6 months pregnant and wore an elegant silk gown with flower appliques from Elisabeth Fillmore. Chris wore a bespoke navy blue Martin Greenfield tuxedo. I loved the flower girl dresses from Isabel Garreton with the navy details. They looked so cute with their crowns incorporating porcelain berries!
Read moreHalloween is Jenn and Alex's favourite holiday, so it was only fitting when they found that weekend available at the Liberty Warehouse, they decided they were meant to get married on Halloween weekend! Their favourite colours are black and red and they wanted to create a dark, moody and deeply romantic black tie event.
Read moreThe Weylin in Williamsburg Brooklyn is such a stunning and unique venue. Every time I go there I marvel at that ceiling. I was super excited to work there for this wedding! The bride loved colour and Putnam & Putnam brought a bold and colourful take to this black tie wedding, while still remaining elegant and refined. For the palette, they used a variety of shades through red, fuchsia, orange and golden yellow with a touch of purple and plum. Nine Cakes outdid themselves with a textured buttercream cake, gold painted details, sugar flowers and pink peppercorns (now my new favourite cake detail!).
Read moreThe details in Emily and Marco's September Wave Hill wedding were a sight to behold that day. The one and only Saipua created a floral dream that brought Wave Hill to a whole other level. I loved the four lush urn arrangements and the white benches for their ceremony at the romantic pergola overlooking the Hudson. At Wave Hill House, they brought the garden inside with lush garlands, gorgeous flowers, towering trees on the tables and glowing candlelight everywhere.
