Betsy and Steve are such an easy-going couple! They are both such sweet people with a clear love for each other. During all of our planning these two remained calm and seemingly care-free. We joked that the most definitive answer Betsy gave in regards to wedding planning was that yes, she wanted to take home the leftover cake after the tasting! Even right before their first look and right before walking down the aisle the two both seemed so calm and collected. I fluffed Betsy's train and asked if she was ready to get married, expecting at least a hint of nervousness and she just smiled and said "yep!" and off she went.
Betsy
wanted their day to feel classic, elegant, and feminine while remaining
understated. Looking through their photo gallery you can see that is
exactly what we did. From the invitation suite to the simple mix of
blush and ivory linens and the cafe au lait filled bouquets everything
was the perfect picture of blush and gold simple elegance. We focused
on all low centerpieces to keep things understated with a mix of
beautiful blush and ivory florals with gold accents and candlelight.
Even the cake reflected this vibe with its simple ivory buttercream and
one large statement dahlia. When I think even more about it, the day
also perfectly reflected the calm demeanor of the couple throughout
everything. Betsy even called me the week of
the wedding and asked if there was anything she should be doing. When I
told her everything was covered she made 150 homemade oatmeal raisin
cookies, the grooms' favorite, and tied them up in the most adorable
packages and brought them as guest favors! They were delicious too. It
wasn't until the last song was played and the lights came on that Betsy
burst into tears because she was sad the day was over. Thankfully we
have this beautiful gallery from Aster + Olive to look back on and
remember this absolutely perfect wedding day.

Betsy
and Steve chose The Tanglewood Club for their ceremony and reception.
The Tanglewood Club is set on such beautiful grounds that the couple
didn't even have to leave for their bridal party photos, they all
boarded golf carts and spent the afternoon finding photo spots. We had
perfect weather all day long. The weather was perfect for the outdoor
first look and photos, perfect for guest arrivals, and perfect for
cocktail hour. Sometimes you get lucky with weather and that is exactly
what happened here. It seemed like the last guest walked inside for
dinner and it started POURING. It looked so beautiful with all of the
windows overlooking the golf course to enjoy dinner during the storm.
Half way through dinner the rain stopped and I spotted an amazing
rainbow over the venue!! I grabbed the couple and grabbed the
photographer and we ran after the rainbow for some amazing photos. If
anyone deserves a perfect weather day with a beautiful and romantic
storm during dinner and a rainbow after, its these two.
I went to a wedding here several years ago and fell in love. The wedding venues NYC are beautiful and I was so incredibly impressed and charmed with this place that when I got engaged, we didn't even shop around. It was this place or bust.
