I am so excited to share this very special wedding styled shoot at the Upper West Side’s Caffè Storico and New-York Historical Society. The truly fabulous Roey Mizrahi Events and I collaborated on a fresh style based on Italy meets New York, modern meets traditional and yellow goes chic!

We are absolutely thrilled to be featured on Style Me Pretty today!

And Here We Are created a beautiful custom invitation suite mixing hand written typography, graphic rosemary imagery and bright yellow.

Winifred Bean’s Iris gown, featuring a fluted peplum bustier top, was just the right balance of modern style and glamor. It is completed with a delicately crafted silk velvet sash with gold and pearl embellishments from Hushed Commotion.

Karma Flowers created a concept for the flowers and decor that would work well in a cafe setting. A blend of sophisticated New York style and natural and unfussy Italian destination style resulted in the exuberant bunches of white and green.

The New-York Historical Society was founded in 1804, making it New York’s first museum. The architecture is stunning. I just LOVE this winding staircase.

Jane Taylor Jewelry’s pieces are so pretty, easy to wear and add just the right touch of color.

Caffè Storico is a gorgeous restaurant inside the museum. The modern design with yellow banquet and walls of white china make for a chic and glamorous setting.

DIY projects are a fun way to include a personal touch to your wedding. These gold spray-painted taxis were the perfect escort to drive guests to their table.

New Yorkers love their dogs! Josie, my French bulldog, was such a good little model! It was a real treat to have her be a part of the shoot.

Madison Lee’s cake was brilliantly executed to mirror the molding in the Caffè and pop with a dazzling bunch of edible flowers. The dessert table was completed with Little Boo Boo Bakery delicious champagne wedding marshmallows that taste oh-so-great in a cup of tea. The marshmallow mountain is topped with a whimsical custom-made topper from Etsy’s The Pixelette.
