Wonderful Warehouse Wedding

Danielle and John were married at The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, New York recently and Style Me Pretty has an excellent post with a gallery of photos by Weddings by V&E. It’s always refreshing to see a couple get married in a unique venue like this.

This wedding was a small affair designed by the bride and groom on a budget. The bride is an artist and an avid antique collector. The Metropolitan building was a perfect fit since it is also houses antique furniture that may be used during the wedding. The bride’s mother created her cake topper (the knit birds) and her veil. The bride created non-floral centerpieces to save money by using birds’ nests, branches, little birds, stones, birch bark and candles. Birds became a theme throughout the wedding…robin’s egg blue was used on the stones, as well as on the eggs that sat in a bed of moss for escort cards. A large alcove became an installation of antique birdcages and candles. Her invitations were hand-drawn, and used birds as well.
