Special niches in the rotunda display meaningful sayings and items I brought in for the bride and groom. The containers hold a cache of their favorite sweets. When guests emerged into the custom-built rotunda, centered with an enormous hand-crafted tree, the grand ballroom space is revealed.

I started with the garden gates and commissioned a hand-engraved monogram, hand-calligraphy throughout and searched endlessly for monochromatic vintage postage stamps, all with views of New York City.

The bride’s dress was dramatically set off with long strings of pearls and a dramatic yet feminine bouquet. We welcomed guests with enormous urns of greens at a gritty SoHo locale, and a custom hand-painted runner stretched down the stairs of the church to the street, creating a clean and striking backdrop.

The duplexed program interior hints at the garden theme for the upcoming reception, and after a long search, I commissioned a custom keepsake program tassel.

One challenge was creating an intimate cocktail party in bright afternoon sunshine on the longest day of the year. Windows surround the space, so the emphasis was naturally on the breathtaking views.

The View
Account has been suspended
Although the view was breathtaking, I wanted to create focus in the party space, too. A 30-foot bar commands the attention of guests, and the custom “floating” glass bar-back allows an uninterrupted sight line, transforming into a glowing gathering spot when the sun went down.
