the event was hosted at 91 event space in the meatpacking district. i honestly cannot say enough great things about the space or the staff! being that i planned the event from los angeles, i couldn't have done it without them. their catering division, the upper crust nyc provided a delicious breakfast for all of our guests.

i sourced all of the display & decor pieces from various online retailers. the tables & black armchairs were rented from taylor creative in new york. 

a huge thank you to leila brewster photography for traveling out and capturing these gorgeous images!

DIY wedding decor from Factory Direct Craft

When I am styling a wedding, I'm all about DIYs and saving my brides money when I can. For this very reason, I simply adore craft sites! I stumbled upon Factory Direct Craft last April when I was looking for some unique tags to tie around mini mason jars to use as escort cards at one of my weddings. As soon as I saw Factory Direct's rustic tin tags, I knew they'd be perfect! 

Lovely, no?

Another pretty design element I'm enamored with these days are airplants tucked into clear acrylic ornaments. Factory Direct Craft sells these in bulk, so your florist can beautify them with succulents, airplants, moss and other greenery. They would be stunning making a big statement at a ceremony site, or doubling as escort cards with guest names attached. 

They also have a great selection of vintage-inspired skeleton keys which are so, so easy and lovely to use for escort cards. And your guests will adore having such a sweet keepsake from your wedding!

For the ambitious DIY bride who wants to craft part of her wedding day accoutrement, Factory Direct Craft carries a ton of great feathers, fabrics and trims for creating just about anything you can dream up. I love this Ivory Pearl Band Trim & think it'd be a super easy way to create a chic belt for your wedding dress!

Of course, they also carry all the important wedding basics- candles, kraft paper, twine.. items that I always have on hand when styling a wedding. Pop over to their site for more!
