Vy + Charles, The Estate on Second

January 31, 2019

Charles and Vy’s eclectic, vintage reception was decorated with a mixture of textures from the bride’s delicate lace dress, to the decorated brick walls of The Estate. A custom wooden backdrop that held small candles and flowers was placed against the walls to add even more dimension to the space. Instax cameras topped a vintage dresser for guests to snap memorable moments during cocktail hour. Once snapped, you could put the image into a book and write a loving blurb to the bride and groom. A macramé photo backdrop outlined in fresh greenery and roses made for fun group shots. Chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce were tray passed while guests could choose from a Manhattan or Moscow Mule his and hers cocktail.

After cocktail hour, dinner was served. Delicious options like our Tuscan braised beef short ribs, Atlantic salmon filet and vegetable stuffed portobello mushrooms filled everyone’s plates. A 3-tiered wedding cake covered in white buttercream icing followed shortly after.

Guests danced the night away on the dance floor in front of a larger than life marquee light up love sign.
