a breakfast at tiffany's proposal
A lover of all things sparkly, Brooke’s proposal and wedding day fulfilled her love of jewelry, glitter, and all things girly. On a trip Brooke had planned with her mother in NYC, Nate surprised them both with a proposal at the Tiffany & Co. on 5th Avenue. He sneakily flew in with a few of Brooke’s closest friends and family.
what was in the welcome bag
Guests were greeted with this artisan burlap tote filled with local goodies like lavender soda, the couple's favorite candies, a bottle opener, and of course, an agenda with all of the weekend's festivities.
a hidden gem of a venue
Greencrest Manor reflected everything Brooke and Nate had envisioned for their wedding day. Guests were transported into a space that felt European, like sneaking away to a French chateau for the weekend.
a black-tie affair
Brook wore an off-the-shoulder ballgown, which she paired with a string of pearls and a pearl-encrusted veil.
Nate wore a beautifully tailored classic black tuxedo and a black-on-black brocade bowtie with a subtle floral pattern. To keep with the timeless design of the wedding, the bridesmaids and groomsmen also wore black.
a garden ceremony
The day was set amidst the beautifully manicured outdoor gardens, climbing vines, sun parasols for the guests, and the cutest mini cakes topped with fresh rosebuds from the Greencrest garden. The couple was married in a sentimental outdoor ceremony to the soundtrack of soft, bubbling fountains.
a magical tented reception
Following the ceremony, guests moved to the reception tent for a dinner surrounded by blush florals by Modern Day Collective, greenery, and gold accents. The evening glimmered as the bride wore a glitter-covered floor-length gown, and the couple kissed between dramatic ten-foot cold sparkle fountains.
sweet little details
During dessert, in addition to the delectable little cakes at each place setting, guests were treated to specialty coffee drinks with custom latte art designed just for the wedding. Each guest also received a little box of macarons as a wedding favor.
a cinematic farewell
The happy couple left the estate in a chic white convertible with a "Just Married" sign on the bumper, complete with wedding bells.
