REHEARSAL DINNER, Manhattan

Photography JOSE VILLA

The bride’s vintage Dior dress was the inspiration for the location in New York City’s elegant and historic neighborhood SoHo. It felt so natural that we hosted this spectacular dinner in front of the flagship store. Creamy white tulips almost floated atop one long custom table with a delicate, pleated linen that paralleled Bridget's stunning couture dress. Guests enjoyed a timeless al fresco Italian meal while enjoying a classic, live performance that transported back to old New York, with tunes of Sinatra himself filling the cobblestone streets. A subtle nod to Ralph Lauren’s Ralph’s Restaurant in Paris and incorporating those tasteful cream and green tones completed the iconic evening. It’s no surprise that city bystanders were stopped in their tracks, peeking to see what marvelous celebration was in their concrete jungle of a backyard.
