Grace & Romance at the Waldorf Astoria, Lauren & Simon

Lauren and her mom are the most amazing mother & daughter team and I thoroughly enjoyed helping them coordinate all of the final details for Lauren & Simon’s Spring wedding at the Waldorf Astoria. They found a wonderful team of event professionals to help bring the day’s vision to life and even though the weather did not cooperate with us, it was the loveliest celebration.

Lauren is the epitome of grace and she was very calm while getting ready with her bridesmaids on her wedding day. I could tell she was excited to finally see Simon and they enjoyed their photo session with Molly from Vrai Photo in the iconic lobby at the hotel. I can’t get over these photos!

Guests were welcomed to the ballroom for the ceremony and enjoyed a lively cocktail hour in the salon while the Waldorf Astoria, Natural Beauties Floral, and Standing Room Only Orchestra flipped the room. We fell in love with the tall, modern, chic design of the white delphinium flourishing out of the glass vase. Simply stunning and so unique!

Guests found themselves back in the ballroom for dinner and it was quite the romantic setting with candlelight and the fabulous centerpieces. They enjoyed their meal of either seared sable fish or herb crusted filet and the dessert of hazelnut cake with salted caramel mousse. How decadent! It was then time for some special dances and then the band had the dance floor packed the entire night.

Congratulations, Lauren & Simon! I hope this first year of marriage has been a dream come true with more love and laughter ahead of you!
