So, let’s start at the beginning. This Brooklyn bistro is where they had their first date. My clients Yiorgos and Emmanuelle celebrated their beautiful New York City wedding at the French bistro Bacchus on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. Ordinarily, a bistro is where we eat and linger. But what do we do when we need to transform the place? How do we make a restaurant wedding this special?
To enumerate:
Start with a leggy, elegant Belgian bride.
And add a dashing groom from Greece.
Place them in a space abundant with spring light, hand made florals, food and family.
This is how a Brooklyn wedding equals perfection.

The most special guest at the wedding was Yirgos's daughter Nephele, glamorous in a red jumpsuit with matching chartreuse shoes and bag. Her speech was heartfelt and charming. The room was captivated as can be seen by her wonderful speech photographed above.

Accents were chosen for their clean, romantic elegance. Important to note, the bride and her sister did all the florals themselves with multiple visits to the flower district. Simple white lanterns dangled from the tree tops. Bud vases were arrayed everywhere. "We went to the flower district yesterday at 6am" she chuckled. Emmanuelle and her sister left no petal unturned.
This floral perfection made everyone smile as they settled into their seats. To add to the summery mood, a jazz band set the scene. It was a real Brooklyn affair.
