Liz + Jason | Welcome Party

 

Liz + Jason's wedding weekend continued with a Rehearsal Dinner at The Bindery, conveniently located across the street from where guests were staying, The Atticus Hotel. A fun fact...Liz and Jason were the first to book the space, and signed a contract before it was even done being built out!

Following the super feminine brunch earlier that morning, we wanted to switch things up and go a bit more masculine for this event.  Again...the couple wanted to be surprised!

I went with a bold blue, white, gold and black color scheme with a tiny pop of raspberry pink.  Blum hung tulips + anemones from the rafters, Whiskey Wagon pulled in to prep all six of their signature cocktails (I can assure you...that was a super fun tasting!), and DJ Evil One spun the tunes. 

The tablescapes were simple and beautiful with black and white centerpieces, grey china and black flatware by Archive, clean crisp linens and a bold menu by Crave.

Guests enjoyed an open bar,  family style dinner followed by hilarious and heartfelt toasts.  Afterwards, we transitioned to a welcome party as more guests filtered in to join the festivities! Another round of toasts ensued and the bar was flowing.

It was such a fun evening to celebrate the impending nuptials.  Stay tuned for pics from the main event!

XOXO, Nora
