How much fun are these Bride and Groom?? We had an amazing time stepping outside of the box and putting together an fantastically creative wedding for Kristi and Edward.
We want to start off by telling you a bit about our fabulous clients. Kristi came to us when they were engaged asking for help planning all the details of their wedding. After leaving our first meeting we were thrilled about working with them. Kristi was so warm and such an enthusiastic person. We loved all her ideas. Even more we loved that she wanted a wedding that wasn't traditional and was something we hadn't done before. Kristi wanted a Gothic Victorian type wedding. She wanted lots of black lace, black and white checkered pattern, black magic roses, graveyards, skeletons and lots of candle light. Although Kristi's theme was dark her personality certainly isn't!! Kristi is a beautiful person inside and out. Just being in the room with her will make you smile. She doesn't ever hold back! We had the pleasure of meeting Edward during the planning process and when they say opposites attract... they were talking about Kristi and Edward. Edward is a Doctor. He is the more quiet and reserved one of the two. He is the responsible and practical one. He really helps ground Kristi and Kristi pushes him to do new and exciting things. After spending time with the two of them you can really see how perfect of a match they are. We KNOW this couple is going to have a long and beautiful life together.
We wanted to start off with some Engagement pictures they did in a Brooklyn Cemetery. All Photos are done by Julia Skya whom is part of Jang Photographers http://www.jangphotographers.com/
Kristi got full hair and make up done for her shoot. She put together their outfits and props. She is very creative!!!
Now for the Wedding Photos.......
This is her gorgeous dress!!!!
All the women in the Bridal Party wore black feathers in their hair along with black dresses they were allowed to pick themselves. They all had fun with the theme and dressed the part!
Kristi wore black lace up shoes under her white dress.
The bouquets were Black Magic Roses and Burgundy Calla Lilies. The Bouquets were embellished with black feathers and black lace. Her bouquet had black lace that fell to the floor.All Flowers were done by D for decor- Event Design and Decor
All Make up was done by My Pretty Committeehttp://www.myprettycommittee.com/
Kristi got ready at the posh Gramercy Park Hotel!!!
Kristi made the feather headpiece she wore the whole wedding day!
The groom looked oh, so handsome in black, white and silver.
Her brother walked her down the gorgeous church aisle. Kristi and Edward chose to have large standing candelabras all down the aisle to add romantic candle light.

Kristi and Edward chose to have large standing candelabras all down the aisle to add romantic candle light.Kristi's little secret through the whole planning process was her dress. She told Edward she had bought a black dress to go with the theme. Edward being a little more traditional than Kristi was awe struck when he saw her in her white wedding dress at the church.
The chose to take pictures at Central Park, the fountain in front of Park Avenue Hotel and in the Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO Brooklyn.
Kristi really is a natural in front of the camera!
Kristi and Edward looked at A LOT of venues with us. They decided on Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO Brooklyn. The space is usually used for performing arts. It is a very large and open space with cement walls, red leather booths and floating seating over a black ink pond (yes, inside the space!). It really is something you have to see with your own eyes. This place was perfect for their theme and even more perfect for all the performances they had planned because it also had a huge stage!

The tables were decorated with black lace, red rose petals, large standing candelabras and strings of pearls. The food was served family style with many middle eastern and Moroccan options.
