Inspiration Photo Shoot: City Winery

I've been sitting on this beautiful inspiration shoot for awhile and decided it was time to share. I love the venue, the City Winery, is such a unique place to have a wedding. There is the option of the main space or the barrel room. We created this shoot downstairs in an equally beautiful room perfect for small dinner parties.

The images speak for themselves, a unique and fun twist on a classic New York inspired wedding.
Planning and design concept by Roey from Roey Mizrahi Events and photography by Allan Zepeda.

Skyline in Full Bloom at Top of the Garden

Being in the wedding industry you have the chance to see some great venues and meet some pretty amazing vendors. It's one of my favorite parts of the business. I love to see what's new and different, have the chance to meet some new people and catch up with others I haven't seen in awhile!

My friend and fabulous wedding planner Roey of Roey Mizrahi Events put together some of the best of the best for a great night recently and I was so happy to be a part of it.

I worked with both Roey and the Top of the Garden to design something for each of their tables and created a fall inspired entrance piece. Everyone did a beautiful job displaying what they do best and I've included just a few of my favorites here. The photos are all courtesy of the ever amazing Allan Zepeda. 

 

For the entrance piece I used hollowed out tree trunks for the base, pampas grass, hanging amaranthus and white gomphrena. We used additional branches with hanging phaleonopsis orchids.

 

 

KreatedByK had these super yummy cookies among other amazing sweets!

 Roey and I decided on this fun black and white combo for her table. A playful display using an overturned vase and silhouette paper to cover candles.

 The hanging garden we constructed for Top of the Garden's table was my favorite. I love the combination of fern, moss and sedum mat suspended over the table.

City Winery

I went to an event last night for some wedding industry peeps at City Winery in NYC. I hadn't been to the space before and was thrilled to get the chance to take a look. There  are a lot of options for set-up, offering space for both the ceremony and reception. I love the long tables and modern chairs paired with the somewhat rustic design of the space. There is a great stage for a band (and I often don't love "stages") plenty of room for dancing and seating for up to 185.

There are so many ways to personalize the space and you even have the option to customize your own wine and of course you can then customize the label for the bottle. 

Some great vendors participated in the evening including Bees Knees (if you don't know about them you MUST taste some of their YUMMY treats!), Hatch Creative Studio created lovely table designs throughout the space, music provided by On the Move and East Six invites were beautiful.

If you are looking for a unique venue with tons of character you should definitely check out City Winery for your next event.
