real wedding, Jess + Russ.
A real NYC love story.
Jess + Russ will always stand out in my mind. I worked with Jess one on one for almost 2 years due to the pandemic which was no easy course to navigate but Jess and Russ took it I stride. I swear those two never broke a sweat, cool as cucumbers. They are two people who know exactly what they want and like and were not willing to sacrifice that beautiful dream and I’m so glad they held on and waited!
They did get married in the NYC court house before their big wedding celebration which is exactly as it should be! Don’t let life’s curveballs stop your plans. Keep on moving and get yourselves married, you can party later! And they did.
Oh my god they partied at the most gorgeous, lush, floral filled garden wedding held at the Bryant Park Grill. Only the photos will do it justice which you’ll see below.
I adore these two people and wish them al the happiness, love, adventure and cats <3

The details of their stationery suite-
It started with the save the date featuring a fruits + veg garland, hand painted using acrylic paint and letterpress printed verbiage for a luxe, classic touch.
For the invitation set, I illustrated a gate fold card with a panting of the Bryant Park Grill and the top of the NY public library behind it on the front of the card. Inside is a map of the area of NYC where the wedding took place with a few surrounding faves called out such as radio city music hall and the Empire State Building. Each important place was hand painted using watercolor. This special gate fold card provided all the details the guests would need to know. Then for the invitation, to keep with that luxe and timeless feel, the verbiage was all gold foil printed on 2 ply biscuit stock. The perfect bit of glitz and sparkle. The deep green envelopes had all the guest addresses printed in white ink with a little hand drawn pear illustration on the back flap below Jess + Russell’s return address. All the components were stacked delicately inside of the gate fold card and then tied shut with beautiful green velvet ribbon. So many little details that told this romantic NYC wedding story.
