This early fall wedding couldn’t be any more romantic if it fell on February 14th. Held at the spectacular Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs, NY, the entire wedding reception was doused in a soft, velvety red lighting. The bride, Alexandra, picked a sophisticated halter-style Vera Wang wedding gown with dramatic black and rhinestone details. Her jet black wedding shoes also had delicate rhinestone details and for her bridal party, Alexandra selected unique cocktail rings. What fashionable bridesmaid gifts!
The wedding ceremony location was simply stunning. Nothing compares to a grand cathedral, in my opinion. I love the way the bride and groom carefully adorned the alter with just enough color but were careful not to take away from the existing decor that really speaks for itself.
After the ceremony, it was off the the reception where guests enjoyed a menu of comfort food including mac ‘n cheese and individual sized lobster rolls.
Later in the evening, Alexandra changed into a sequined Donna Karan cocktail dress and Valentino shoes. Meanwhile, the guys were decked out in classic black tuxedos and Darren wore a checkered bow tie.
Special thank to Joe and Brittany of Turn Loose the Art for sharing Alexandra and Darren’s romantic New York wedding with us! Congrats to the very fashionable couple.
