Chic Brooklyn Wedding

I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Brooklyn, and this wedding straight from AGAiMAGES reminds me why I’ll always be in love with its relaxed, chic charm. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that The Green Building is one of my all-time favorite venues! And how great is bride Laura’s über-sleek gown from Lovely Bridal Shop?

From the photographers, Aga and Marcin of AGAiMAGES: Laura and Greg live in and adore Brooklyn. It’s a no-brainier that they picked their wedding to happen in this oh so New York borough. From the location to the decor; everything was carefully chosen to compliment their relaxed, rustic, homey Brooklyn lifestyle. The Green Building is an amazing location with brick walls, wood and low hung chandeliers with a bit of industrial feel to it. Laura soft, feminine dress from The Lovely Bridal Shop was accented by beautiful flowers. Due to the fact that both Laura and Greg are in the food industry; this part was important to them. Laura being a pastry chef; instead of one big wedding cake, ordered five cakes in various amazing and wicked flavors such as pistachio with rosewater butter-cream and fresh raspberries!

Tree of Life Films: We’re a husband and wife team who love creating unique and artistic wedding films. It’s important to us to get to know our couples to make the best film that not only captures their day but them as a couple too. We love Love and and aim to bring out real emotion in our films. We were inspired after we received our own wedding film almost two years ago. We loved the way it captured our day and our love for each other. It made us feel amazing and we wanted to give that to other couples. Tom is an award winning, director of two feature films so it was easy to begin our new venture in wedding filmmaking together. We love what we do and can’t imagine doing anything else!

Lakeside Double Wedding

Today we have a first for Ruffled — a double wedding with two lovely sisters, Lauren and Dana. By combining their visions and creative resources, they were able to execute a stunning rustic wedding full of wooden details and touches of every shade of purple. Bryan Rupp Photography caught every one of these details, including the couples’ journey from ceremony to reception via canoes!

From bride Lauren: We wanted our wedding to be personal, romantic, outdoors, and somewhere in the realm of elegant, yet relaxed. We didn’t want a stuffy wedding, and we wanted everyone to have fun!

Any advice for brides planning their weddings now? 1) Relax! Think about what you want to remember 10 years from now and focus on that. 2) Get a wedding planner! If you can’t, recruit a friend’s mom who has already helped organize a wedding. 3) Set up a sample table with every detail. I would have changed a few things if I had seen what table legs look like and how the decor stacked up.

From the photographer, Bryan: These sisters got engaged and decided to share their wedding day! They did it beautifully, combining their special moments while maintaining their individuality as couples. Their grandfather made many of the decorations out of wood and the brides handmade most of the details. They took canoes from the ceremony to the reception site. It was a unique and gorgeous double wedding.
