Wedding Spotlight: A Sophisticated West Village Wedding
Jason and Neilly had a stunning and sophisticated wedding in New York where they first met 7 years ago. Initially connected because of their passion for art and music, Jason and Neilly were inspired by the woes of wedding planning to keep it simple, elegant, and fun for everyone.
Rather than fuss with the minute wedding details so often encouraged in the modern wedding lexicon (think endless hand-calligraphied handouts), Jason and Neilly focused on creating a fabulous event that still felt cozy and intimate. They described it as a decadent party at their home where everyone got dressed up and had the freedom to mingle and meander around three stories of their West Village venue.
The couple chose a classic aesthetic with a Greenvelope invitation to match. Their design was inspired by the Indian Sarus Crane, which symbolizes devotion. The cranes mate for life, Jason explained, and are one of the few species who mourn for the loss of their partner at the end of life. The couple found this to be perfect symbolism for their union and ideal imagery for their invitation.
Both Neilly and Jason agreed that the hassle-free venue (a stunning 5 story townhouse rented out and decorated for parties by the resident) along with fine food & drink set the easy and joyous mood of their nuptials. It was wonderful to be able to relax and celebrate without the stress of managing a highly orchestrated event.
Congratulations to the elegant couple, and many thanks for sharing your big day with us!
