Elana & Michael

Elana and Michael were married and held their reception at Hotel Palomar in Midtown on March 20th. I loved Elana's Watters & Watters gown with floral applique details. Her bridesmaids wore chocolate Vera Wang dresses that tied into bows on the shoulders- cute! Elana established her color palette early on in the process- incorporating the vibrant green seen around the hotel in all of her stationery (that she made!) and in the florals {This is actually a great cost saving idea- utilizing a color found in furniture and details in your reception location, so you get that custom look for less}. Michael and Elana enjoyed a lovely evening with friends and family that included cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on the rooftop terrace, a seated dinner with chocolate banana bread pudding for dessert instead of cake and a night full of dancing to the couples favorite tunes. Congratulations Elana and Michael! Thank you Christine Gallagher for sharing these beautiful images!
