Miss Moss Gets Married

Diana of Miss Moss has long been one of my favorite bloggers so I was super excited when she got engaged. Her blog is so gorgeous that I knew her wedding would have to be something incredible. Well, she just posted photos of her wedding last week and it is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Diana's aesthetic is so textural which is so much of why I love her. I've always been attracted to textural juxtaposition but I've never experienced anything like what Diana finds and posts on her blog. Which is all the more fascinating because I can't even physically experience those textures- I can only look at them!

But it seems like every beautiful element possible was present in her wedding. Flowers, wood, lace, fabric, glass, greenery, stone, metal; you name it, she had it. 

And the cakes! So many cakes!

Not to mention that she just looks so incredibly happy and beautiful. Joy is fairly radiating out of her and her husband.

 

Seriously, just try to tell me that this isn't the sweetest thing you've ever seen.

Aren't weddings the BEST? I'll never get over them. Especially when they are as special and inspiring as this one. 

Congratulations, Diana and Anton!

And Happy Weekend, Friends!

It’s Finally Legal: Les & Gay Get Married!

This past weekend Micky and I headed upstate to attend the super fun wedding of Lesley Robin and Galen Criscione. The ceremony, reception, and after party (oh yeah!) took place on the gorgeous grounds of Liberty View Farm in Highland, NY. 

The wedding hit all the right high notes. 

It was on an apple farm, so they served yummy chilled (non-hard) cider to guests before the ceremony started, and sent us home with tote bags full of just-picked pommes at night’s end. 

There was an adorable baby in attendance. He wore a tie.

Blog Star Spotted: Kate Miss of For Me, For You fame was the wedding photographer.

There she is on the right. I swear I was trying to capture the pre-wedding scene and 
totally not stalking her and her nice artist husband all night.

Ceremony and after-party decorations (there was a piñata!) were supplied by the so-hot-right-now Confetti System.

The bridesmaids all wore different short dresses in various shades of gray with yellow shoes, while the groomsmen were in gray suits with graphic yellow and white ties.

After the ceremony, we found our table by locating personalized jars with air plants inside, our name tags corresponding to Berkley Illustrations that marked every table (and wedding program). Ours was Betty the Squirrel. She looked ready to party.

Juicy green succulents were prominently featured in all bouquets and centerpieces. 

Bright! colored! beehives! buzzed nearby.

Baby goats were tethered to a tree near the reception tent for photo opps and added cute factor. This one hoof-punched me in the gut right after I took his picture. 

Lesley’s lovely dress was designed by Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall and made with lace from her mother’s wedding dress, a thoughtful nod to "something old."

The after party commenced in a nearby barn where the popcorn machine and dance party popped off (that’s right, I said it) well into the night. DJed in shifts by the brides’ little brother and the couple's friend Ben, I pretty much lost it when he started spinning Stevie Nick’s “Stand Back.”

The whole night was a greatest hits of the best wedding details I’ve ever seen, all pulled together with a really meaningful, personal touch. I was honored to be a part of such a wonderful evening. Mazel Tov, you two!
