Christina & Mike: Classic New York Romance

Christina and Mike Wedding – Bride and Groom Portrait – Brooklyn Botanic Garden – Sophie Kaye Photography

Christina remembers the instant connection she and Mike felt on their first date at an Italian restaurant in New York City in early 2023. “Between the delicious Italian dishes, red wine, and easy conversation, we quickly realized how much we had in common. We even discovered our friendly sports rivalry – Mike is a loyal Jets and Mets fan, while I proudly root for the Giants and Yankees.” By the time dinner ended – only because the restaurant was closing – they were already making plans for their second date.

Meg and Brendan Wedding – Bridal Bouquet – Brooklyn Botanic Garden – Jaymo Jaymes

Finding your bridal style is an exciting journey and how a woman arrives at hers is deeply personal. While some brides may have envisioned their veil-to-train look long before hearing the proposal, others find their style unfolding in real time, learning more about themselves with every choice they make. Which brings us to the next important decision: selecting your wedding bouquet.

Scrolling through inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest often reveals bouquets overflowing with an array of flowers, fillers, and lush greenery. While these abundant arrangements are undeniably eye-catching on social media, they don’t resonate with every bride. For clients seeking a more distinctive alternative, we often suggest focusing on a single variety of flower. The appeal of a mono-floral bouquet lies in its quiet confidence – it reflects an aesthetic sensibility guided by personal taste rather than passing trends.

More than anything, your wedding colors set the tone for your big day, shaping the atmosphere and ensuring the celebration feels cohesive and reflective of your personal style. It’s no surprise that so many of our clients are embracing earth tone wedding palettes now. Warm, romantic, and effortlessly versatile, these neutral hues create a sense of calm and quiet sophistication.

Inspired by the natural world – think layered greens and rich browns of a forest, or the terracotta and sandy blush tones of the desert – earthy schemes bring depth and dimension to a design. Once primarily associated with a bohemian aesthetic, today’s “earth-toned” florals feel far more refined. Through unexpected details, thoughtful styling, and layered textures, we create pin-worthy bouquets, ceremony installations, and centerpieces that feel modern yet timeless, elevated yet inviting.

Shifali and Vikram first met at a wedding he was officiating. Her friend – the groom – had been telling her about Vikram, but she wasn’t interested at first. “Once the ceremony started, I couldn’t stop laughing,” she recalls. “I immediately asked for an introduction.” They began dating soon after, while Shifali was living in New York City and Vikram was completing his residency at Penn. “We knew our relationship was something special early on,” she shares, “because we were both making the effort to travel back and forth to see each other.”

Rebecca and Kevin met in January 2021 during the Pandemic after matching on Hinge. Unable to sit through another date eating pasta outside in the cold under a heated lamp, Rebecca did something she ordinarily wouldn’t do – she accepted an invitation to come to Kevin’s apartment so he could cook dinner for her. Taking a risk paid off. “My thoughts on love at first sight changed,” she remembers. “The man standing in the entryway was everything I hoped for and, up until that day, never found. Kevin had made lemon pasta, spiral potatoes, and bacon wrapped dates and I never looked back.”

Nhung and George began dating in August 2018. Although they met through Bumble, Nhung remembers the spark that kicked off their relationship as feeling natural and effortless, like when two strangers meet and know they’re going to be lifelong friends. “We are so different but also alike. We both have a great sense of humor and style, but George is messy and I’m neat,” she says. “We balance each other in ways we never knew we both needed.”

While many couples plan elaborate, social media-ready proposals, Nhung and George approached their engagement with the same relaxed, easy-going attitude that brought them together. The event took place on April Fool’s Day 2023 while they were on vacation in Turks & Caicos. “George isn’t the most romantic let’s just say that,” Nhung jokingly admits. “So, we planned for him to ask at sunset.” With some time to kill before popping the question, he took a quick dip in the ocean while she waited on the beach with the ring.
