A Brooklyn Bistro Wedding

A Brooklyn Bistro Wedding.

Written, edited and shot by Angela Cappetta

So, to start off, 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 does one make a restaurant wedding exceptional?

To enumerate:

Start with a leggy, elegant Belgian bride.
And add a fully dashing groom from Greece.
Place them in a space abundant with spring light, raw elements, food and family.

This is how a wedding equals perfection.

After a fashion, family and friends gathered from around the globe.

Nearby and far flung. Moreover, a truly special guest at the wedding was Yirgos’s daughter Nephele. Nothing short of 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, she is a poised and articulate young woman.

So, this Brooklyn bistro is where they had their first date.

Importantly, accents were chosen for their clean, romantic elegance. As well as that, simple white lanterns dangled from the tree tops. Bud vases featured spring stems which were arrayed everywhere. “We went to the flower district yesterday at 6am.” the bride chuckled. Emmanuelle and her sister left to petal unturned. Clearly, this floral perfection made everyone smile into their seats. Not to mention, along with the tasteful décor, a jazz band had everyone’s feet tapping all evening.

Overall, not a single guest was underwhelmed by the beautiful experience.

Emmanuelle wore an exquisite Gown. The vanilla Sawyer gown by BHLDN. Likewise, we took time to admire the detail shots we took with light caressing the satin on the dress. Besides this, Yiorgos’ suit was designed by a guest at the wedding. Furthermore, he wore it with a pure dash of confidence and pure joy.

In summary, today I publish their wedding on my blog; I thank my wonderful clients for having me.
