Welcome to Ali and Jason’s relaxed backyard affair with a touch of Jay Gatsby, brought to life by Duke and Van Deusen Weddings. Sperry Tents set up one of their signature sail cloth tents at the bride’s summer home in Southampton, NY, Matt Murphy lit the heck out of it with a zillion giant white paper lanterns bride’s summer house, the bridal party rocked it in all white, and Anastasia of Sag Harbor Florist blew us away with her wedding canopy of flowers and branches strung between an aisle of trees.
Ali, in a slinky sexy lace Anna Maier gown, floated down the center of the aisle of trees that seemed made for a wedding ceremony as romantic and classic as this.
Whenever Duke and Van Deusen contact me for a wedding, I jump! Impeccable taste and super sweet people, they are a dream to work with. You know I always promote working with a great wedding planner or a day of coordinator to keep your day running smoothly and remove you lovely people from the behind the scenes drama.
Check out this fabulous wedding featured on one of my favorite wedding websites, Grey Likes Weddings, to see and learn and if you would like to view Kiss the Bride’s lovely wedding film.
Ali says:
My favorite moment of the night was our wedding ceremony. It was so beautiful and felt like it was an intimate inclusive ceremony. I love Jason’s vows so much, he really blew everyone away. There was not a dry eye.
We met in high school, and he proposed to me with a prank by calling me and telling me my apartment had been broken into… mean!
We got married on my mom’s 60th birthday, so as a surprise to her, right after we cut our cake, we brought out carrot cake and everyone at the wedding sang happy birthday to her. It was amazing.
Jason is manager of acquisitions at Hulu, and Ali is an ad sales consultant (currently at a start up called Tatari)
