Shoppable Wedding: Whimsical Speakeasy

Posted by Michelle Mar 5, 2013 at 8:00 am

In Brooklyn, NY, a hip new hotel has opened called the Wythe Hotel. It features original exposed brick walls, iron beams, and the perfect mix of industrial meets vintage. The happy couple, Chris and Alexis, knew it was the perfect place to hold their surprise wedding. That's right, the invites to the event said "engagement party," then they were married as a surprise to all their guests. The designer and florist, Michelle Edgemont, took their speakeasy theme and added colorful floral arrangements, metallic confetti, and brought in vintage furniture from Patina Rentals.

Here are our favorite shots from their wedding with links to were you can purchase similar items to recreate the whimsical, speakeasy look at your own cocktail party.
