about the event

Tiffany and Kevin envisioned a chic wedding weekend that combined their sophisticated, metropolitan style with the beauty of upstate New York. As Cornell grads, they were excited to welcome their friends and family for a wedding weekend that began with an intimate rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Rowland House inspired by a Parisian bistro.

Their color palette comprised creams and neutrals, shades of sage and moss green, along with black and smokey gray accents. Subtle textures mixed with bold typography continued the metropolitan feel.

A lover of fashion, Tiffany wore her mother's wedding dress to her rehearsal dinner. For the wedding, she donned a Katherine Tash gown and changed into a studded cream pantsuit by Rime Arodaky.

One of our favorite details was their seating chart. As proud residents of New York City, the couple was excited to incorporate the subway into their design. Guests received metro fare cards inside their escort cards and their round, acrylic table numbers paid homage to significant stops on the subway.

Working with Desirée and Verve was the best decision we made. During planning, she kept our preferences at the forefront while crafting stunning designs that exceeded our expectations. Her team handled countless behind-the-scenes details without burdening us, allowing significantly faster decision-making.  We're beyond grateful for everything Verve did to create a moment in time we will cherish forever. 

"Verve created a moment in time we will cherish forever."
