Often 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.

Linden and Jacob's Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in the spring was so beautiful that it took forever for me to get this blog post together! I had such a hard time choosing pictures from Heather Waraksa, one of my very favourite photographers. The vendor team we collaborated with produced such exquisite work and Linden and her mom were a joy to work with. Blue Hill at Stone Barns is truly spectacular in June. Everything is so lush and green throughout the property.

J&C were married on the water at Liberty Warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The weather was not cooperating with us that day with a steady drizzle all morning. However it cleared up just in time for us to setup the the ceremony outdoors and for the portraits to happen outside. A million thanks to Poppies and Posies for making it happen outside with a tight setup time!

Read moreBlue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Hunter and Ryan
We could not have asked for a more perfect spring day for Hunter and Ryan’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding in Pocantico Hills, New York. Hunter wore a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown with sheer sleeves and floral embroidery and an oversized asymmetrical bow at the back. On her feet she wore a hair of hot pink Manolo Blahnik heels. Ryan wore a navy and black tuxedo from Isaia with lace-up oxfords from John Lobb. I am slightly obsessed with the wildly romantic bouquet that Putnam and Putnam designed for Hunter. Featuring peonies, hellerbores, tulips, rannunculus and roses, it had such gorgeous texture and colour!

Read moreBlue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding: Liz and Gabe
There 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!

I 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.

Here is Linden and Jacob’s video highlight from their Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding with McKenzie Miller Films! I absolutely loved their ceremony that took place under the cafe awning in the courtyard. The rain forecast wasn’t being very clear that day, so we pushed the decision as late as possible, and ended up setting up under the covered area in the courtyard. It worked nicely for their count of 110 guests and created a long aisle for Linden and Jacob. The ceremony florals growing up from the ground by Poppies and Posies actually looked even better against the brick wall of the restaurant than it might have done against the grand tree in the courtyard!
Read moreBlue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding Anniversary
Most 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!
