A NYC Real Wedding | Photo Crush | Angelica Glass

Take a look at this real NYC wedding, shot by the amazing New York photographer Angelica Glass.  She is so talented! I love her unique style and her ability to capture emotion and wedding details. This wedding is absolutely beautiful! I love all the details from the pink flowers to the dessert bar! Yum! I also love that the couple added their venue, New York Public Library, into the wedding decor, like the table cards. Such a neat idea! What do you think? Do you have a photo crush too?

A Real New York Vintage Inspired Wedding with Luxury wedding invitations by Lela New York

Hello All!

I wanted to share Rosalie and John's vintage New York wedding that was so beautifully photographed by Kristin over at Photomuse.
I just love all her pretty vintage details from the red polka dot shoes to Rosalie's pretty locket that was tied to her bouquet!

Lela New York created these NYC themed wedding invitations to reflect Rosalie's vintage style and incorporated the NYC skyline to reflect the spectacular view of their venue, Water Edge.
