Katie & Daniel’s Intimate Little Italy Wedding

January 31, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Katie & Daniel's Intimate Little Italy Wedding | Dreamery Events

Most wedding planners and industry professionals will tell you you shouldn’t work with loved ones or people you know. The reason, it naturally makes the job harder, there is more pressure on yourself to make sure the day is perfect. Well I believe the complete opposite, yes planning the wedding of someone you know is definitely high pressure but it is also such a big honor that someone in your life would select you to be a part of this special day and time in their lives…so of course I didn’t hesitate when the always darling Katie and vibrant Daniel reached out wanting a bit of help with their Little Italy wedding, I of course couldn’t be more excited…

I first met the groom a few weeks before my first day as a college student at Johnson & Wales in Rhode Island, both from New Jersey, both fans of a good dance floor  Then the always beautiful, Katie joined my sorority, and she was always one of the nicest and down to earth! As long as I have remembered Katie and Daniel, I remember how much fun they were together, and just how much they always seemed, and still are, in love!

Katie, a native Rhode Islander self proclaimed foodie, has called New York home for sometime, while Daniel’s cooking career has taken him through plenty of amazing restaurants in the city. This pair wanted to keep their special day intimate with a classic Catholic mass at their Brooklyn neighborhood church and dinner at Il Cortile, a family favorite and naturally a place with amazing food for this foodie loving duo.

Katie had a simple but romantic vision, focusing on natural greens like eucalyptus and rich red roses. She took your typical autumn color palette, and threw it out the window!! Katie chose to pair sophisticated navy blues with deep varying shades of reds. And it was just darlingest color scheme for a warm brisk late September day.

Katie’s dress was an absolute stunner. I wish I would’ve been able to see it in person, but Jeff captured some amazing shots of it below. But I can’t not mention Daniel and his handsome and sharp dark blue suit. But for both, their million watt smiles were what completed their looks to perfection!

The spacious but quaint and cozy restaurant has the loveliest open space fit with twinkling lights, glass ceiling windows, pretty plants and rustic details, that would make any wedding magical. Originally I thought this space was an outdoor courtyard, but was delightfully surprised by the charming intimate space, the perfect size for dancing to a live band and even separate bar lounge area. Oh, and this wedding may have been intimate in size, but it was surrounded by thousands passing by the heart of Little Italy, New York City. Oh, did I happen to mentioned this also a favorite restaurant of James Gandolfini, I mean their shrimp appetizer is so good!

When the space was so darling to begin with, other decor was kept minimal with plenty of rustic and simple candle light, and  photographs of this special couple’s relationship over the years. The bride’s father created all the place cards, the table number cards which were placed atop gold wine bottles and all the thank you tags for the miniature bottles of champagne each guest was gifted. How talented is he! The navy color was delicately played up on the tables with soft and pretty colored cheese cloth runners that draped over each.

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
