Back Up Wedding Chuppah & Outdoor Wedding Ideas

An Outdoor Wedding at the Bronx Botanical Gardens

The summer of 2009 has been one of the rainiest summers to date, and this has been a concern at every outdoor wedding we’ve been involved with. One of our regular corporate clients was getting married and Big Apple helped her plan a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at the Bronx Botanical Gardens complete with a back up wedding Chuppah in case of rain!

Wedding Chuppa at the Bronx Botanical Garden

Stephanie’s ceremony would require a traditional Chuppah. The Bronx Botanical Garden, where the outdoor wedding ceremony was planned, was prepared for this sort of thing, and already had a bare Chuppah structure.  Stephanie wanted to have the ceremony outside at the Botanical Garden and use the Chuppah structure that was already installed. It became our duty to create floral pieces that could easily be attached to the structure and look as natural and feminine as possible.

We had started planning for Stephanie’s outdoor wedding when we first got the news in the beginning of 2009.   Everyone at Big Apple was very excited and the wedding planning process began immediately.  Stephanie stopped by to exchange wedding ideas with Abu and they got the ball rolling.

Bridgewaters Wedding Space

After viewing the Bridgewaters NYC wedding space, Abu and his clients decided that it would be best to use a mix of high and low arrangements to create more depth in Bridgewaters’ very open space.  The space also has a lot of outside light with wrap-around windows and amazing views of [Read more →]
