Halloween Liberty Warehouse Wedding

Halloween 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.

A Colourful Weylin Wedding

The 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!).

The Foundry Wedding: Bingqing and Han

Bingqing and Han had a Foundry wedding on a snowy winter day!  We had really lucked out as there was a big snowstorm the day before.  The day of the wedding, the skies were clear, but the ground was blanketed in a bright white layer of fresh snow.

Monet Inspired Harold Pratt House Wedding

I am dreaming of spring and all these lush Monet inspired florals that Quatre Coeur created for Lindsey and Alan's wedding at the Harold Pratt House.  This elegant townhouse built on the upper eastside in 1920 is one of my favourite venues for an intimate city wedding.  The old world charm and classic details were perfect for this couple that met at Princeton.  

Lindsey looked absolutely stunning in a mermaid lace Ines di Santo gown and a cathedral length veil edged with lace.  She loved lilac and even though it isn't an easy flower for a bouquet given the need for water, Ruth from Quatre Coeur still made it happen!  I loved the magnificently lush arrangement she created for the escort table and the romantic garland winding its way up the staircase to the ballroom upstairs.  

The cocktail reception took place in the library and Creative Edge designed these serving platters with a cloche covering old linen bound books in the center.  Lindsey and Alan brought their favourite ice cream to the wedding from The Bent Spoon and Creative Edge served these on miniature cones that were a late night hit!  Guests took home jars of jam made by Alan's mother from fruit from her own garden.  I often find with weddings that we have leftover favours at the end of the night, but not with this one!  

Thank you to Charlie Juliet for capturing this classic and timeless wedding in the most beautiful way.

New York Magazine Weddings Winter 2018

When I started Ang Weddings and Events in 2011, one of the biggest reasons that our business took off is that New York Weddings picked us for their listing of New York Event Planners.  For a New York bride who has been reading NY magazine for years, the wedding issue becomes their bible when wedding planning.  I am always grateful for that start and the couples that have found us through the magazine.  Now I am so happy to be a contributor to their articles!  I am so pleased to have helped out with not one, but two articles in the Winter 2018 issue.  Planning a Wedding in Six Weeks and 15 New Wedding Reception Venues.  It is always a treat and still surreal to see my name in print in a major publication.  Thank you for including my tips!

Central Park Zoo Wedding

Carly and Xavier were looking for something unique.  Perhaps an outdoor wedding or a view of the New York skyline.  We managed to find them both of these things at the Central Park Zoo!  They had a small ceremony at City Hall and invited their dearest friends and family to party with them at the zoo.  A zoo isn't immediately what you think of as wedding worthy, but the Central Park Zoo is a special place.  The warm brick columns and the lush green ivy, make it truly beautiful.  Carly wore a stunning lace jumpsuit from DVF and carried a lush bouquet of deep red peonies.

The Surrey Hotel Rooftop Wedding

Chelsea and Kevin were married at an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends on the rooftop of a boutique hotel The Surrey.  Dark clouds had been threatening us all morning, but thankfully it remained dry for their sweet ceremony and gorgeous photographs on the rooftop afterwards!  Guests were welcomed to the penthouse level with an elegant welcome sign of hand calligraphy on a framed mirror.   We had a string trio play Etta James' At Last as Chelsea walked down the aisle in a classic Monique Lhuillier gown with a cathedral length veil floating behind her.  

The reception followed a few blocks away at Chef Daniel Bouloud's michelin starred restaurant.  We just had to bring Chelsea and Kevin to the the kitchen to take some pictures in there!  During the delicious meal, guests enjoyed a jazz trio, which then transitioned to a DJ for dancing later.  

Written Word Calligraphy designed the save the date, invitation and the day of paperie.  I just love her modern calligraphy on all these pieces, making them so unique and special.  The gold foil stamping on ivory was perfectly classic, and her metallic hand calligraphy on the escort cards beyond dreamy.

Thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring Carly and Xavier's spring wedding at the Central Park Zoo!  It was such a unique location for a reception.  Guests enjoyed cocktails around the sea lion pool, with an incredible view of Central Park South, and went on to dinner under a tent filled with twinkling lights.  It was a really fun celebration and I loved being part of it!
