Pola and Oliver

Sunday, March 20, 2011


































Take a moment to catch your breath.

I know, I feel the same way. Whether a rooftop city wedding is your cup of tea or not, this celebration is so absolutely beautiful that it's hard not to fall in love!

Pola and Oliver chose Columbia University's St. Paul's Chapel for their traditional ceremony, which included a serenade from a gospel choir and a taxi cab exit. The Gramercy Park Hotel hosted their elegant rooftop reception and granted guests stunning views of Manhattan.

Pola wore an architectural J.Mendel gown, Badgley Mischka shoes and a stunning Oscar de la Renta pearl and crystal bracelet. Her classic veil is a Twigs & Honey creation. Oliver looked dapper beside his bride in a clean-cut Tom Ford suit.

Flowers by Brooklyn-based Saipua filled the rooftop space while guests enjoyed the sounds of Bon Musique. Cupcakes from Crumbs were a perfect treat as the evening came to a close, and KT Merry was on hand to capture each stunning moment.

  21. Wow, what a lovely wedding! St. Paul's is one of our nicest churches here in NYC. I love the whole wedding...so chic. I am a big fan of J.Mendel too,so it was nice to have her use Gilles for the designer of her dress. I am a new follower....such a pretty blog!
