Less is More // Minimalist Weddings

 shenorock shore club decor cord3films

We’ve recently written about smaller wedding venues, pared down guest lists and scaled down wedding flowers, all the norm for 2021 weddings.  And all these trends mesh very well with the overall minimalist movement.  Minimalism has been gaining in popularity for several years now, but this year and probably next, it’s taking over the wedding industry as more couples are simplifying their wedding events and choosing “quality over quantity” for their weddings.  Minimalist choices certainly fit perfectly with the “less is more” notion.  And we’re so excited to see the sleek, modern and simple lines of minimalist design at even more of our upcoming weddings!

No Work and All Play… // Groom Prep on the Wedding Morning

the lucy wedding photo  groom prep cord3films 

We love, love, love filming groom prep!  Every time we have the opportunity to film the groom and his groomsmen getting ready for the big day, it amounts to a lot of laughter and a ton of fun for everyone!  The guys are lucky because they usually have more time than the bride and her party to kick back and relax on the wedding day before the ceremony, photo sessions and festivities begin. (Nevertheless, we’re glad most brides make a little time to include a stress-reducer too!)

Hanging In There // Wedding Venue Ceiling Décor

front and palmer wedding images  liberty house restaurant wedding images

A trend that continues to wow couples and wedding guests alike is the addition of thoughtful reception ceiling décor, especially accessories that are suspended.  And why not decorate the ceilings?  Overhead is often a naked space just waiting for your special finishing touch.  A blank canvas just ready and waiting for added ornamentation to pull your wedding theme all together.  Overlooking this prime design space would be such a shame!

I’ll Have a Blue Wedding // The Color Blue

While couples will always tend to simply choose their favorite color scheme when planning their weddings, the color blue is definitely a trending color in 2018, with the darkest shades being the most popular.  Navy blue and the similar but even darker shade of midnight are tops on the list of wedding theme colors for weddings scheduled all throughout the upcoming year.

These deep, dark blues are still very popular in groom’s tuxedos as well.  And we’ll find them Read more

We’re wishing Dede and Matt a very Happy Anniversary!  We traveled up to Greenwich, CT for their rehearsal dinner, then enjoyed filming their spectacular wedding at Rye Presbyterian Church and Shenorock Shore Club in Rye, NY.  Love and laughter was truly the theme of this wedding and we’ll never forget Dede’s sister’s musical mashup toast to the bride and groom!  Happy 1st Anniversary!

Bare Necessities // Minimalist Décor

No matter what the trend may be, weddings will always be adorned with exceptional touches that transform a venue from just a basic room into a beautiful affair.  There will always be special lighting, attractive table centerpieces and design elements that remind guests that they’re not just at any party, they’re attending a very significant event.  But perhaps the biggest change in wedding décor trends is the move towards a more Read more

A Perfect Match // Dede + Matt

We had the pleasure of spending two exciting days with the bride and groom for this lovely wedding!  Dede and Matt’s beautiful wedding event began for us with the filming of their rehearsal dinner held the evening before the wedding day at Delamar Greenwich Harbor in Greenwich, Connecticut.  We were so honored to be there for their dinner, a wonderful gathering of family and friends to celebrate Dede and Matt’s relationship and the upcoming linking of two families in marriage.

On the morning of their wedding, Dede and Matt prepared for their day alongside their bridal party at the picturesque seaside setting of Delamar Greenwich Harbor.  Matt and his groomsmen were definitely thoroughly enjoying themselves, even breaking out in dance after dressing up for the big day!  Dede’s beautiful bridesmaids wore elegant long matching navy gowns, and complemented their look with pretty pastel pink and white bouquets from House of Flowers.

They helped Dede get into her wedding gown, a gorgeous lace covered dress with a lovely V-neckline and a sparkling rhinestone belt.  For her ceremony, she also added a cathedral veil to her hair.  Dede was certainly a breathtaking bride!  Before heading to the church, Dede and Matt read heartfelt love notes that they penned for each other.  Of all the significant days they’ve shared so far in their life together, none is more important than this one.

Before their ceremony, the two shared an exciting first look at their reception venue, with the serene Long Island sound as their backdrop.  We just love the anticipation and emotion that always accompanies the first look!  We were now almost ready to head to Rye Presbyterian Church for their wedding ceremony where the two would be reciting their traditional wedding vows and making it official!

Before and after the ceremony, we captured moments of their formal photo sessions with Melani Lust Photography.  What a pleasure it was to work with Melani and her team! And even with the overcast skies, the setting was so charming and the scenic water view locations sensational.  It was during this time that Dede presented her father with a lovely personalized handkerchief as a gift to him on her wedding day.  It was such a touching moment to witness.  And we especially loved strolling along the club’s boardwalk and shoreline with Dede and Matt as they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other or the smiles off their faces!

Dede and Matt’s reception was held at Shenorock Shore Club on the beautiful Long Island sound in Rye, New York.  The décor for this event was beautifully minimalist, all in white with tiny touches of gold and pastel pink.  For added interest, white market lights were strung in between the striking exposed wood beams.  It was fantastic… and the entire event went on without a hitch, thanks to the expertise of TRUE Event!

We heard such wonderful speeches during this celebration.  Who didn’t get choked up during the toast given by Matt’s brother, his best man for his wedding?  It was so sincere and from the heart.  But laughter was really the theme of this wedding!  And the matron of honor, Dede’s sister, certainly had a treat in store to toast the bride and groom, as she wrote and performed a funny, amazing musical mashup!

After dinner, guests partied and danced all evening with help from the energetic sounds of East Coast Music & Entertainment! This was such a fun crowd and a simply delightful wedding!  Dede and Matt are so down to earth, so full of spirit and laughter and truly perfect for each other! We wish them all the best for today and for their lifetime together!

Best Matron of Honor Toast // The Bride’s Life in a Musical Mashup!

We had such a blast at the wedding we just filmed this past weekend!  Dede and Matt were so unbelievably wonderful to work with at their wedding on Saturday at Shenorock Shore Club.  They’re so sweet and so much fun!  The same sentiment certainly holds true for Dede’s sister, Christie, who was her Matron of Honor!

Her toast to the couple was like none other we’ve seen!  Since the full version of the toast won’t make it to the feature film that we’ll be sharing soon, we wanted to post it here now!  Check out this surprise musical mashup featuring highlights of Dede’s life, set to songs from Taylor Swift, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pharrell and more!  It even ends with a Disney film favorite!  And stay tuned for Dede and Matt’s cinematic feature!
