A Quintessential & Timeless New York City Elopement

Can you just imagine being in your favourite city – the city of opportunity, wonder, hustle and energy – and saying "I Do" to your very best friend? Southern California wedding planner BOWTIES & BOUQUETS truly couldn't imagine a better setting for a dreamy elopement so she set about designing this beautiful inspiration which was captured by New York wedding photographer FRANCESCA DOMINIQUE. The design behind this inspiration was a quintessential New York City experience that was ultra chic, fashion-forward, modern yet full of romance and ethereal charm! Naomi shares with us, "We wanted to highlight the magic of the city; first look at Central Park, portraits at Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace, exchanging vows at New York Public Library and ending it with running across the crosswalk all decked out to the nines! The colours and textures of the overall design choices were kept neutral and minimal to allow the city and location be the only vibrant warmth and colour that was brought in and I love the modern and chic feel it created."

Featuring a stunning SAREH NOURI gown and florals by PINK JASMINE DESIGNS this look is ideal for couples wanting a dreamy elopement amidst iconic landmarks in an urban setting. OLIVE SAINT LILY designed paper goods that were simple yet sophisticated and worked within the modern aesthetic perfectly.
