We are so excited to post pictures from the wonderful May wedding of our dearest friends, Christa and Jeff.

They had an intimate affair at the lovely iCi Restaurant here in Brooklyn and had a perfect spring day for their outdoor ceremony.

It was literally a small private dinner party for family and a few close special friends and we were so honored to be part of their day.

For their invites we drew on the clean style of iCi’s all white rooms with its quintessential Brooklyn backyard, and created a contemporary white and silver invite with a hand drawn skyline band and handwritten names. The perfect marriage of urban contemporary and homey Brooklyn brownstone.

We also incorporated a variation on the skyline onto Christa’s birthday dinner invites, the eve of the wedding.

For the day-of décor we continued the theme using the skyline image on the menus…
