Their home was the perfect spot for a wedding. Occupying the site of an old Huguenot homestead, her folks live in what used to be the stable on an acre lot. Clover’s mother, Lake (a master gardener), has transformed the grounds to storybook beauty in a variety of different gardens.
Their vision for the wedding was down-home simplicity – an old-timey, Gatsby-esque garden party. The guests, all asked to dress in white and supplied with white Chinatown parasols, danced under the light filled weeping willows while a 20’s style speakeasy band played old standards.

PS – Congrats to our Wedding Window winner’s from last week – vivian freias pires, heidi, and lo! Amy will be sending you an email very soon.
I’m really drawn to simple wedding these days, so when I saw this lovely celebration pop up on Bklyn Bride a few months ago I couldn’t resist asking Vane if she would mind if I also posted Clover and Trae’s wedding on Once Wed. From the wall of paper cranes created in shades of pink to the groom’s adorable seersucker suit, this garden wedding is definitely one after my own heart…
Check back for their lovely reception later today!

Once again I have not blocked off enough time to prepare for 2 photo shoots this weekend(oops!) which means I need to take off a little early this week to gather supplies and find a farm table. Above and below is a little snippet of a breathtaking shoot put together by some of my favorite people in the wedding world. I’m so excited to share these images with you, so definitely check back soon for more of this sensational shoot. Have a great weekend!

Good Morning! Before we jump into regular posting for the day, I would like to give a quick shout out to one of our amazing sponsors this morning, Alix Klingenberg Photography. Alix is “dedicated to bringing creative, affordable wedding photography to awesome couples,” and I think she accomplishes just that! I’ve included some of my favorite photographs below from one of her recent weddings…
Alix is currently hosting a free wedding photography contest with the exception of the cost of travel/lodging for one lucky couple anywhere in the world. For more information on the contest and how to enter, check out her blog.
Before the NYE party, we were trying to figure out how many people we needed to cross off the list, in order to keep within a decent budget and actually afford a wedding. Having the party at our friends’ lost made it more affordable, and gave us a bit more control over plans and timing. NOW we were excited and we couldn’t stop the ideas from flowing!
While exploring floral options, I found a floral/space designer that shared an affinity for all things paper and hired him to help me with the huge task of decorating the space, and making it “our own” – creating an environment that reflected our eclectic taste and my love for paper.
With a bit of ingenuity and footwork, a few stellar vendors, a lot help from our friends, and a handy Zipcar, we created the wedding of our dreams and our guests had an absolute blast, Brooklyn style ;)
