OUTDOOR CEREMONY The ceremony took place in a large outdoor tent constructed by advanced tent rental (part of the event rental group). Clear Grace chairs from detailz couture event rentals were set up over a custom, white plexiglass floor designed around the backyard’s natural garden areas. The tent was draped in stark white fabric by micki’s. The bride’s mother walked her down the aisle. “The moment before we walked down, she and I caught eyes and she whispered ‘I love you’,” Nicole sweetly remembers. The couple exchanged vows in front of a rock fountain with beautiful trees in the background. A string quartet from fusion events played classical pop music throughout. COOL TOUCHES After the ceremony, north 44 served fresh shucked oysters and delicious seafood. Cocktails were served at a custom ice bar, etched with the family’s crest by iceculture inc. A perfume bar from aromachology was set up in the space for attendees to create personal fragrances which they could take home as wedding favors. THE ROCK N’ “RING” TENT During cocktail hour, guests made their way into the aptly-named “Rock Tent,” inspired by Andre’s love of rock band Guns N’ Roses. The space featured red draping, black carpet, stylish lounge furniture and white Moooi chandeliers provided by contemporary furniture rentals inc. Once inside the tent, Andre got a tattoo wedding band inked on his finger by his good friend and tattoo artist Steve Mack from smack tattoos. The tattoo features a skull with the words NIC (short for Nicole) on one side and Andre’s initials on the other. The couple was surrounded by family and friends, as they anxiously awaited seeing the final piece of art. popbox provided a custom vinyl video booth with the rock theme in mind. www.wedl u xe.com 115
