Danielle was incredibly organized, and those sweet coffee cup florals were all her doing! Following the wonderful toasts from family, they left on a rickshaw. Danielle and Rashad, we wish you all the best brunches and happiness in your life together!

Talk about a FIERY couple (not sorry!)! Lauren and Rob met at Burning Man, and had an amazing wedding where at one point, everything was on fire. 250 of their wonderful people gathered to watch them take their vows, then everyone wrote notes and put them in a hand-carved heart-shaped box, set it on an effigy, and burned it. There were barrels of fire, fire dancers, fire carnival games...it was quite a night to remember, and a blast to be a part of! Definitely one for the record books. Congratulations, Lauren + Rob!

Sweet, whip-smart, and adorable, these two lawyers had an absolutely gorgeous day to get married! The Ivy Room was the perfect setting for these beautiful people, and we gathered an incredible team of vendors to make their dream day happen (if we do say so ourselves)! Planning with them for over a year was a blast, and we loved seeing it come to fruition so beautifully. And once again, Ingrid Bonne worked her magic and captured every moment perfectly. Congratulations, Sara + Jason! We adore you and wish you all the best!
