Kristen + Phillip, the celebration continues…

I forgot one tidbit of news yesterday. Kristen is a fabulous seamstress. When I asked her on she heard of me, she said that she used to work for The Dress Doctor! In fact, she worked on my dress, which you can see here. Isn’t it fun when you find connections like that?

Kristen is an artist and her bouquet was a true work of art. Whimsical and wild, I adored her bouquet.

The bride wasn’t very matchy-matchy, so the girls all wore their own black cocktail dresses.

The 63rd Street Beach House allows for some lovely photos on the premises as well as on the beach.

During the first hour of cocktails, Kristen + Phillip took photos everywhere. Their one bit of traditionalism was that they opted not to see each other before the ceremony.

Kristen + Phillip were all smiles on the day and full of laughs.

During the second hour of cocktails, guests gathered round for toasts.

After the Father of the Bride toasted the couple, he shook Phillip’s hand.

In lieu of a cake, the couple had a bite of the first cupcake. It was very cute!

Towards the end of the night, the guests got down. It was that kind of wedding!

I loved that everyone let their hair down, literally! The last song was Paper Planes by M.I.A., which is one of my favorite songs of all time!

As the night ended, the guests did an impromptu send-off for the newlyweds!

Congratulations!! The couple decided to relocate to Arizona.
I hope that the both of you are doing well and enjoying the warm weather!
