An intimate wedding day at Wave Hill
When I received an email in my inbox for help on a wedding that was just shy of three weeks I responded immediately. I knew this perspective client would really need my help with such a short window of time to gather all the details together. We had connected over the phone, contract was signed and I took over the details she had already. Her wedding was to be held at Wave Hill in Riverdale, NY. A historical, oasis in the bronx. It’s a true dream location for a planner to work. Through the upcoming weeks I helped book the remaining vendors such as musicians and became the sounding board for the hired vendors. Kristen and David waited ten years to get married so we did our best to make things as perfect as possible.
The photographers were able to sneak into the Tropical Garden of the Conservatory, grabbing bridal portraits and gorgeous moments between the couple.
Aquatic & Monocot Gardens
To follow they wandered to the the acquatic gardens to finish the final couple portraits.
The Badeken
After the Ketubah was signed, the Groom covered his bride's face with a veil. This is an ancient tradition dating back to biblical times, signifying that the Groom acknowledges he is marrying the woman beneath the veil for her soul and not merely her beauty. Kristen looked on truly happy, it seemed she was really in the moment.
The Ceremony
The pergola overlooking the Hudson River provided a stunning view of the Hudson as the sun set the lighting was truly breathtaking. My associate and I looked on in awe. The sky was like a painting and a wedding day gift. in my eyes.
The Reception
Friends from around the world gathered in celebration of Kristen & David. The staff at Wave Hill made sure everyone was safe and comfortable to celebrate with masks on. Those that couldn’t make it watched on via zoom. It was touching to see. It’s been a tough year for all but to witness two people being able to get married despite it all is a remarkable experience I’ll never forget.
