Mariana at our NYC studio worked with the wonderful Molly and Jason to bring their wedding stationery to life. They customized a version of our Elatus v.2 suite, updating with deep blue throughout. We’ll let Molly take it from here to share more about their wedding details!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A BIT ABOUT YOUR WEDDING AND YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THE EVENT?

Our wedding was at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers on 4/1/23. Our venue was on the water overlooking the Hudson River with a view of Hoboken/Jersey city. We really wanted the quintessential black tie New York City wedding with an invite that was subtle and refined, yet elegant. Jason loves modern aesthetic and our invites were the perfect mix of modern and classy.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR COUPLES CURRENTLY PLANNING A WEDDING?

Work together as a team and try to listen to each other’s opinions. And don’t worry about the weather – it will work out exactly as it’s meant to. Our weather forecast showed 97% of thunderstorms with damaging winds in the area. Needless to say I was freaking out. Jason stayed positive and that 3% came true – it was a beautifully sunny 72 degree day. We got so lucky for the 1st day of April.

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR INVITATION DESIGN & INK COLORS?

We got married on the water in early April. We wanted the design and colors to match the spring feel of our wedding but also knew the invites would be sent out in the winter, so we wanted to make sure they weren’t too florally or summery. The chambray blue was the perfect color that represented springtime. We also wanted to have a monogram of our initials that carried over throughout our wedding (napkins, photobooth monogram, etc.).

WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST ABOUT YOUR WEDDING?

How quickly it passes after spending 1.5 years planning. Savor the moment!

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT?

My favorite moment was our first look. Jason hysterically cried seeing me for the first time (as I knew he would). He didn’t want to see my dress prior to our wedding day so he was in awe when he first saw me.

FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT OF YOUR BIG DAY?

Our favorite design was the twinkle lights over the dancefloor. We didn’t stop receiving compliments on them! I also loved how our florist repurposed our Chuppah florals and used them for the head table on the dancefloor.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE NEWLYWEDS?

We just got back from our honeymoon in Hawaii and Japan. It was the trip of a lifetime. Next, we plan to enjoy life 🙂
