Summer Travels

“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.” – Albert Einstein

April showers do bring May flowers, vacation planning and rsvp-ing to wedding invites. Whether traveling abroad or doing a road trip, don’t forget to stop along the way and appreciate/smell nature’s unique trees and flowers. When you return, you’ll impress your friends and loved ones with your vast knowledge on horticulture, or just plant life outside of New York.

After the ceremony is finished, they can be placed throughout the reception space or even hung from outside

Very Very Cool Chuppah Design

This just in… One of the coolest chuppah structures we have ever seen! It was from a wedding at the New York Public Library. It’s made of books and hanging light bulbs from the center. We can’t imagine how much time was spent on creating this. Hopefully the books were recycled!

Photos were taken by Dave Robbins Photography. Check out these fantastic pictures.
