An Autumn Wedding at Chelsea Square – A Secret New York City Oasis!

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]For our wedding, we chose a color theme that felt soft and romantic. We went with blush, light pink, and ivory as the base colors, which gave everything a delicate and timeless feel. To balance the softness, we incorporated lush greenery throughout the space, bringing in a touch of nature and to breakup some of the pink to not feel too feminine. We also added gold accents throughout the space, which really elevated the whole look and complemented the beautiful old-world architecture of our venue. One of my favorite details was the abundance of candles we had all around – they created this gorgeous, romantic glow, and the light reflected off the gold vaulted ceiling, making everything feel warm and intimate. It all came together so beautifully, creating the perfect atmosphere for our day.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

For our wedding, we wanted the design, vibe, and overall vision to feel romantic, elegant, and timeless. We chose a color palette of blush pink, light pink, and ivory, which set a soft and delicate tone for the entire day. To complement that, we brought in lush greenery and beautiful flowers, especially for our outdoor garden ceremony. The garden was the perfect backdrop, with vibrant blooms surrounding us and candles placed throughout to enhance the romantic atmosphere. Gold accents were added to the decor to elevate the elegance, tying perfectly with the stunning old-world architecture of our venue. Inside, we filled the space with candles, which not only created a glowing, intimate ambiance but also reflected off the gold vaulted ceiling, adding warmth and depth to the room. Our vision was to create a dreamy, unique and unforgettable atmosphere where every detail felt thoughtful and romantic, bringing together the beauty of nature, the elegance of gold, and a glowing, intimate setting for our special day

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Ryan proposed exactly how I imagined—just the two of us, in an intimate moment. He’d set up a story about dinner plans with his parents, and I had no idea the evening was building to the proposal. At home, surrounded by flowers, our dog Remi wore a sign that said, “Will you marry my dad?” It was the sweetest, most personal touch. Ryan also surprised me with vintage champagne and a night out at The Polo Bar in NYC. It was everything I’d hoped for—an intimate, memorable proposal full of love.[/field]

[section title=”The Fashion”]
[field title=”Wedding Gown”]For my wedding look, I wanted something timeless, unforgettable, and comfortable. I envisioned a dress I’d still love in 50 years. I found the perfect one at Bridal Reflections in Manhattan, designed by Leah Da Gloria. It was elegant, timeless, and fit my body beautifully, making me feel radiant and confident. The craftsmanship was stunning, but it was the comfort and how it made me feel that sold me. Later, I changed into a fun, chic Milla Nova afterparty dress for dancing. It was perfect for the celebration while still feeling elegant. My wedding day look was a perfect balance of beauty, practicality, and confidence.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]My maid of honor (she was the only one in our bridal party other than the Best Man) wore a stunning gold dress that was the perfect complement to our wedding venue’s vibe. The rich, warm tones of the dress beautifully echoed the gold accents within the venue, creating a seamless and elegant look. It added just the right touch of glamour while still feeling timeless, and the way it sparkled in the candlelight perfectly matched the romantic, glowing atmosphere of our celebration. It truly tied everything together beautifully.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The food and drinks at our wedding were a huge highlight of the celebration. For the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres like caviar-topped mini potatoes, along with other unique and delicious options. The reception dinner featured indulgent mains of Wagyu steak and salmon, complemented by a fresh burrata starter. For dessert, we had gorgeous wedding cakes and an array of passed desserts that everyone loved.

To top it all off, our after-party featured NYC’s famous Joe’s Pizza and passed espresso martini shots, keeping the energy high and the celebration going strong![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Our wedding decor, thoughtfully designed by the talented team at LLG Events, was a true reflection of our vision for something unique and special. For the ceremony, we transformed an outdoor garden into a lush, romantic space filled with greenery and florals, despite the weather challenge. A clear tent ensured we could still have the garden feel, with a stunning floral Chuppah as the focal point. The reception space was designed to amaze from the moment guests entered, with a glowing ambiance created by an abundance of candles that reflected off the venue’s beautiful gold vaulted ceiling. To brighten the dark, old-world architecture, we incorporated lush florals in light pink, blush, and ivory, along with greenery, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The florals were abundant and vibrant, perfectly complementing the candlelight and tying everything together in a cohesive, romantic style. Personal touches, like custom signage and decorative elements, added to the unique feel, making our day unforgettable. Florals played a key role in bringing our vision to life, enhancing the beauty and elegance of every moment.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Our wedding cake was a stunning four-tier masterpiece, each tier offering a different delicious flavor. It was beautifully decorated with intricate sugar flowers and greenery that perfectly matched the florals throughout the venue. The combination of the elegant design and the variety of flavors made it not only a visual highlight but a delicious treat for our guests to enjoy. It was the perfect finishing touch to our celebration![/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Our band, Jordan Kahn Orchestra was absolutely incredible, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. They brought an unmatched energy, even joining guests on the floor to sing and interact, with their instruments out among the crowd, creating an unforgettable vibe. For the after-party, we switched things up by moving from the 11-piece band to a DJ, who played our curated playlist filled with all of our favorite songs and artists, keeping the celebration going strong and ensuring the party never stopped![/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The most special and anticipated moment of our wedding day was definitely our ceremony. We had been excited (and a little nervous!) to get married in front of our closest family and friends, and the emotion in the air was palpable. Reading our personalized vows and officially becoming husband and wife, surrounded by the people we love, made the moment incredibly meaningful. Another unforgettable memory was walking down the aisle and seeing Ryan waiting for me, looking so handsome and excited—it was everything I had imagined. Beyond the ceremony, a major highlight was dancing with our family and friends. The joy, energy, and laughter on the dance floor were magical, and it truly felt like the perfect celebration of our love.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]ur wedding was captured in every beautiful detail, with the help of a talented social media content creator who made sure every moment was shared in real-time. To keep the fun going, we had the best photobooth in the business, MirMir, which had everyone laughing and creating memories that made everyone look incredible. Guests loved the experience, and the photos captured the energy and joy of the day. Additionally, we placed disposable cameras on every table, encouraging guests to snap candid moments throughout the night. These personal touches added to the overall fun and allowed us to relive the day through the eyes of our loved ones, making it even more special. [/field]
