I’m still on a high from Christina and Tony’s wedding at The Winslow that left us all speechless for so many reasons!! These lovebirds had an incredible vision to celebrate their modern love story and all the planning paid off…
I’m so excited to share these early favorites for you to enjoy – they waited an entire extra year to get married and celebrate (thanks to Covid); I think the wait was well worth it, but I’m so glad they’re finally officially husband and wife!!
There were so many incredible details with so much thought put into them by Christina, Tony, their families and the entire design + planning team of Lemon and Lime Event Design…
Here are my top 7 favorite elements and moments from their chic October wedding at The Winslow:
-
Setting the tone for their modern and elegant celebration full of black and white details, guests received a custom invitation suite with an envelope liner that incorporated art Christina painted herself!
-
Her beautiful abstract painting also formed the background to the custom welcome sign that said ‘It’s Friday, I’m in Love’ since their wedding took place on a Friday (obviously)!
-
With Tony’s passion for photography and film as inspiration for the escort card display, guests found their names and seating assignments on rolls of film mounted on a display that said ‘You’ve Captured My Heart’ and included 7 of Tony’s cameras.
-
The ceremony in the train shed at The Winslow was so luxe, elegant and minimal:
-
an edgy and modern floral installation made up of rich, moody tones and lots of texture, hung on a gridded backdrop against a light gray draping
-
smoke gray ghost chairs provided seating for guests in a way that allowed Christina and Tony to be surrounded by loved ones on 3 sides
-
they said their vows in a heartwarming exchange on a black riser with a hard aisle runner (also black) that gave the ceremony space such a unique and sleek look
-
In the cocktail area, guests were able to leave messages on a black and brass vintage Fete Fone – love the idea of an audio guest book!
-
Oysters and a mouthwatering charcuterie spread greeted guests after ceremony near the bar
-
Black custom napkins with 4 different copper foil-lettered quotes from the Office and Friends
-
Their first look outside the Winslow followed by a festive and fun confetti toss with their wedding party wearing all black, other than Christina in white and Tony in a maroon tux (+ a floral pocket square… OBSESSED!).
-
All of the romantic, textured florals in every space and on every surface. Christina’s bouquet (and Tony’s floral pocket square on a smaller scale) were made up of light colored dahlias, roses and ranunculus with darker pops of flowers and greenery that eluded to early Fall.
-
the flowers and greenery in the ceremony and reception at the venue were darker and full of moodier elements that softened the industrial space
-
Now, the reception details… where do I begin?! I’m going to let the photos do most of the talking for these, so PLEASE scroll down to see it all!!! But here are the highlights:
-
a mirrored dance floor for guests to dance to live music by the Onyx Band, on a stage lined with greenery
-
white plaster textured dining tables for the sweetheart and wedding party tables with black velvet dining chairs and a brushed gold frame; these tables had matte black chargers with clear glass dinner plates with a white rim and brushed gold flatware
-
velvet and leather lounge seating with gold accents; black plaster tables with smoke gray ghost chairs
-
hanging bistro lights that allowed the long tables to appear suspended and cast a beautifully warm and cozy glow on the entire space
-
polished black chrome chairs for the tables above and below the mezzanine; these round tables had matte black plates and tortoise and gold flatware
-
lush floral centerpieces and a variety of candles in black + pink in glass cylindrical and rectangular hurricanes
Congratulations, Christina and Tony!! We were so honored to be able to document your exquisite wedding day – it was absolutely one for the books – I’ll never forget all of the amazing personal touches you incorporated! I’m so glad you finally got to celebrate with all of your friends and family, give Marcel a hug from me!!
