The couple said their vows beneath a stunning square archway adorned with dramatic flowering quince branches before an aisle lined with additional branches and elegant white pillar candles. “Throughout the planning process with Joyce, there was one constant aesthetic that she envisioned…clean and classic with subtle pops of color and texture,” explains Senior Catering Sales Manager Lisa Elias, “The final result was beautiful with a romantic glow in the ceremony room with all of the candles lining the aisle.”

The bride held a bouquet of white garden roses, white and green ranunculus, sweet pea, orchid blooms and peony tulips, tied with an elegant corseted champagne ribbon.

The reception was held in the Estrela Penthouse, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Guests were greeted by a pedestal vase of quince branches and lush centerpieces of cream hydrangeas, dappled with green and blush la perla roses.  “In the ballroom, the combination of high and low centerpieces, all with white, cream and blush flowers with pops of green surrounded by candles and enhanced with gold-beaded chargers provided a beautiful tablescape that transformed the Estrela Penthouse into an enchanted garden, especially with the floral runner on the head table,” continues Elias, “Simple, romantic and stunning!”
