My Moon is a restaurant in Brooklyn that will shut the place down for you if you'd like to hold your wedding there. Large enough to hold a good sized wedding, but cozy enough to create an intimate setting, the dark wood interior, large bar and amazing outdoor ceremony space and lounge have made this one of my favorite venues. Not only that, the manager Ruggero and the rest of the staff is wonderful to work along side. Some venues that is not at all the case, like when I did a wedding last year at a venue in Morristown, the staff was yelling obscenities at each other in Spanish while they were setting up…and the stuff that they were saying was no bueno. Even with my limited Spanish I understood…I mean come on doesn't everyone learn the curse words in other languages first…or is that only me :).
Fingers were crossed that the dark clouds that kept passing by would keep doing so. It did eventually rain, but it wasn't until later into the evening so the ceremony went on as planned. A line of Mason Jars with blooms of allium, peonies, lilies, gerber daisies, lotus pods, and peach tulips highlighted the elevated ceremony space.
The cocktail hr was ground level, next to the ceremony space. Mason jars filled with electic mixes of flowers…I love this place!
And I have to thank Allison Hooban of Nice and Easy Weddings for all the pictures. It was so nice to have her there to take them, instead of me running around like crazy before the ceremony starts trying to get all the shots I want. I met Allison on a plane from JFK to San Juan Puerto Rico. She is married to one of my husband's college friends. I wasn't sitting with my husband..we had to split up with the kids…he took the 4 and 6 year old and I took the baby. Turned out Allison also was traveling with her baby who is the same age as my little girl, they were 8 months old at the time. So we wrangled it so we could sit in the same row, and save some other poor souls from having to sit next to the potential crying, fidgeting, smelly babies. (I wasn't as lucky on the flight home…the guy sitting next to me actually took out his laptop to work..imagine the fun I had trying to stop my curious little girl from pounding on the keys and deleting his very important looking spreadsheet)
The rest of the guests were seated at 4 long farm style tables with green, blue, and clear glass bottles with single stems of flowers. (I collected the some of the bottles over the past year…I use California Olive Oil an it comes in three sizes in these amazing green bottles!) A cheesecloth runner ran the length of the table…funny side note I found out, when looking for cheesecloth in this length, that it is also called ghoul mummy cloth by the fabric store from which it was purchased.
The bar was anchored down by two large arrangements
My Photographer friend wasn't able to get any shots of the bouquets so these are my pictures taken at my house before we left for the wedding.
The boutonnieres were made of eucalyptus, evergreen, astrantia, hellebore, and ranunculus.
The Bridesmaids carried bouquets of yellow lilies, eucalyptus, ranunculus, astrantia, and white peonies.
The bride carried a bouquet of mint, evergreen, hellebore, astrantia, coral peonies, ranunculus, white gerber daisies and yellow lilies.
Great arrangements!! Especially the dining area is looking fabulous. The bouquets of bridesmaid in yellow lilies with different flowers are very unique. I loved the color combination. I will book same bouquet for my all bridesmaid as we are doing decoration at venue space nyc in same yellow theme. It is a great idea.
