The Couples’ Travels Inspired This French’s Point Wedding

November 1, 2022 | justine

French's Point wedding.

Mikailah and Nick spent time traveling the US and fell in love with the green forests of the northwest, the deep reds of the southwest desert, and the sense of community in many of the small towns they visited. So when the time came to tie the knot, they wanted to bring the colors and textures from their travels into their French’s Point wedding celebration. And that’s exactly what they did.  

Overlooking the rocky coastline, the pair exchanged heartfelt vows under a beautiful chuppah adorned with fresh blooms, dried greenery, and feathery pampas. At their tented reception on the estate grounds, guests were greeted with towering installations above an elegant tablescape of taper candles and delicate floral clusters. Meanwhile, rattan pendant lighting illuminated the space and seamlessly blended with the rest of the decor.

After two long years of planning, the pair was thrilled to spend the weekend with their loved ones in the most picturesque location. And their talented team helped them realize their vision and pulled it off with exquisite style. If you and your partner are fans of nature-inspired weddings with a sophisticated and timeless twist, you’ll want to see this one.

Why A French’s Point Wedding

We wanted a venue that allowed us to bring people together for an extended period. After so much time apart due to the pandemic, spending as much quality time with the people we loved most was important. French’s Point delivered exactly that! And honestly, there’s very little we can take responsibility for, as we had the most amazing group of vendors. We feel so lucky to have spent two years working with such wonderful people who delivered incredible work the weekend of our wedding.

Viking-Themed Gather Greene Wedding

October 31, 2022 | justine

Wedding inspiration can be drawn from many sources. When the time came for Fei and Matthew to tie the knot, they turned to their diverse backgrounds for wedding day ideas. With a sculptural venue perched on scenic acres of the Hudson Valley, a rich and luxurious color palette, and spectacular floral displays—their Gather Greene wedding strikes just the right balance of rustic coziness and modern romance. 

With its picturesque views peeking through the wooden screen walls and soaring arched ceilings, the open-air pavilion was the perfect setting for their special day. A dramatic floral installation that echoed the curves of the space served as the focal point for both the ceremony and reception. To top it all off, their stunning tablescape featured wildflowers and moss for a touch of whimsy, while taper candles and lanterns added a beautiful glow.

In honor of the bride’s heritage, the pair changed into the customary red and gold embroidered attire for the tea ceremony. Their celebration was truly a beautiful mix of Scandinavian charm and Chinese tradition. From the sweet first look and all-night dance party to all the moments in between, soak in every detail and let these images captured by Jim Lee Vision sweep you off your feet.

Manna Sun Events’ Insights On How This Gather Greene Wedding Was Brought To Life

This Viking-themed wedding is filled with details and romance, and it’s one-of-a-kind. During the initial consultation, the couple expressed their preferences and interests in Viking culture. Manna Sun Events took on the challenge and did plenty of research into this unique culture before starting any actual design. The challenge was to design a wedding that embraced and paired two different cultures–initially far from each other–while coming together in celebration. The Gather Greene was an ideal place and provided a minimalist Scandinavian feeling and a breathtaking backdrop. The couple wanted a location that was inspiring on its own yet provided a blank canvas for us to build an experience.

Choosing A Color Palette That Complemented The Venue And Season

We chose a complimentary color palette that showcased the tones of the coming fall. We also utilized colors of the couple’s family lineage and history. Using complementary shades of green, orange, and red–as seen in the lounge area and table setting–it immediately brightened up the atmosphere. 

Incorporating A Traditional Tea Ceremony

In keeping with tradition, Matthew dressed up in a red suit embroidered with a dragon pattern and knelt with Fei, who was wearing an embroidered red Qun Kwa, and served tea to their parents, in-laws, and other family members. Even though the bride’s mother couldn’t make it to the wedding, the hosting of this traditional Chinese tea ceremony and the enthusiasm of all the participants made Fei feel loved, cared for, and supported. It was a touching moment that symbolized the union of two families, and it also showed how beautiful love could be when East meets West.

White Monochromatic Cavalli Estate Wedding

October 31, 2022 | justine

Heneline and Eric chose ten of their nearest and dearest to share their incredible day with, soaking in the magic of the vineyards, the beautifully landscaped gardens, and the jaw-dropping mountain views. With an all-white color palette, a spectacular display of florals, and an old Hollywood vibe to complement all of the natural beauty surrounding them, their Cavalli Estate wedding was nothing short of amazing.

The couple initially planned their ceremony at the sunken garden but moved it to the main hall because of the weather. Between billowing drapery and the knockout backdrop of florals on pillars, the last-minute change worked out perfectly! Meanwhile, an impressive installation with lush blooms, crystal chandeliers, and a neon sign hung above an elegant all-white reception tablescape. 

On top of the stunning aesthetic, the couple kept it elegant and sophisticated with their wedding attire. The dashing groom rocked a classic suit, while the bride looked chic in an off-the-shoulder dress.

How Their Cavalli Estate Wedding Came To Be

We had a very intimate wedding of only ten of our closest loved ones. Choosing to host our wedding at the Cavalli Estate was the best decision we made because the food, wine, and view were out of this world! Our inspiration was old Hollywood and it worked perfectly with our venue. The talented Heike from Fleur Le Cordeur did our flowers, and wow, she did an incredible job. Our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors, but our trusted team of vendors moved everything inside without any scene. They were all amazing.
