How to Design a Wedding That Feels Like You
If you're planning a wedding in New York City or the Hudson Valley, it’s easy to get caught up in trends. But the most memorable weddings aren’t the most Pinterest-worthy; they’re the ones that feel deeply personal and true to you.
I grew up in California, so maybe I’m a little biased, but palm trees, salt air, and the sound of waves still make me feel at home. That sense of comfort and familiarity is what I hope to create for every couple I work with.
Whether you’re hosting your wedding in Brooklyn, Hudson, or anywhere in between, your day should reflect your version of home.
Infuse Your Story Into the Design
Designing a wedding that feels like you starts with what matters most: your story.
Did you meet over spicy margaritas? Let’s make that your signature cocktail.
Do you spend weekends at the farmers’ market? Incorporate fresh herbs into your centerpieces.
Still listen to vinyl together on Sunday mornings? Add your favorite records to the welcome table or cocktail playlist.
These aren’t just pretty details; they’re clues to who you are. They help your guests feel like they’re stepping into your world for a day.
Why Personalization Matters More Than Trends
It’s easy to fall into the trap of copying what’s trending. But trends fade. What lasts is the feeling your wedding leaves people with.
Guests remember:
A ceremony that felt intimate and grounded
The laugh in your vows
A detail that made them say, “That’s so them.”
You don’t need to follow anyone else’s blueprint. Bold or simple. Colorful or neutral. Luxe or laid-back. If it feels right to you, it belongs.
Design a Wedding That Feels Like Home
One of my favorite parts of planning is helping you uncover what home looks like in your relationship.
Maybe it’s:
Palm fronds in a Brooklyn loft
A Williamsburg rooftop with a nod to city grit and greenery
A Catskills barn that feels like the slower pace you crave
Whatever it is, we’ll design around that feeling. I’ll guide you through the process with calm direction, thoughtful planning, and a focus on the meaningful moments.
