This sunny New York City wedding is just what the doctor ordered to cure our winter blues! Sarah and Glenn wed on a gorgeous day in historic and stunning Bryant Park in front of their closest friends and family.  We are so happy that Sarah chose to contribute a little piece of Lovely – her pretty LoBoheme hair accessory and Lovely veil – to the occasion!

Lovely: Tell us about THE dress and what inspired your look

Sarah: My wedding dress was unabashedly feminine with incredible movement, which completely inspired my look.  The keyhole back provided that extra “wow” factor and a heightened sense of romance, which fit in perfectly with our wedding location.

Lovely: What were the most important details to pulling off your dream wedding?

Sarah: I did not have a wedding planner, so I worked closely with our vendors to ensure that they understood our vision, but also relied on their creativity and expertise to execute.  We wanted to create a very warm, intimate and unique atmosphere, so we spent a lot of time on those small details, such as working with our floral designers to create a unique hanging rose altar for the ceremony, serving our “signature drink” at the cocktail hour, and serving cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake.

Lovely: What was the most memorable moment?

Sarah: Walking down the aisle with my father by my side and my husband standing at the end was my most memorable moment. It was a moment of pure joy and happiness.

Lovely: If you could give future brides any advice, what would it be?

Sarah: Wedding planning can be intimidating, but if you stay true to your vision and plan ahead, things truly fall into place and you can have a lot of fun in the process.  Also, network with other brides to determine which vendor’s style will best suit your vision.  I was able to identify all of my vendors through referrals and it truly paid off!

Thanks to ban.do, we’ve been struck my cupid a few weeks early

Shut the front door. How beautiful is this bride?

Dreamy delight

Sometimes our weekly choice for best dress is just as clear as black and white.  This stunning bride wore her gorgeous Wayne Cooper dress with black tulle underlay to a T and she has got to be of the most stylish ladies we’ve ever seen walk down an aisle.  Can you even get over how she rocked that drop dead gorgeous veil?  Beautiful.

We love the idea of incorporating non-traditional elements as your ‘something blue’ and found these unexpected bits of blue to carry subtle yet sweet reminders of the tradition.
