Share

This modern black-tie affair at the New York Botanical Garden was an event designer’s dream to orchestrate. Planned by Mileen Zarin Events and photographed by Far Out Feeling, a carefully composed palette of soft neutrals paired with pastel and jewel-toned florals set a whimsical tone, while spring blooms from Designs by Ahn took center stage with overflowing pastel arrangements and romantic touches throughout.

Timeless with a contemporary twist

The bride wore a timeless strapless style with a modern edge thanks to a thigh-high slit. Her classic cathedral length veil paired perfectly with a lush bouquet of salmon pink peonies and lilies.

Modern detail: floating floral allusion

Floral columns in a sunrise-inspired palette appeared to practically float next to and around the couple as they exchanged vows.

On trend: layering textures

Guests were delighted with equally modern menus surrounded by light pink tapered candles and pink, peach, and orange centerpieces in gold vases. A variety of floral textures created visual interest and elevated the arrangements.
