Live Wedding Painting | New York, New York

February 13, 2020

Colleen + Paul
Lotte New York Palace
New York, New York
24 x 30 in.

A dreamy winter wedding in the heart of Manhattan … Collen and Paul’s wedding day felt like we were stepping into a movie! Let’s start from the beginning … these two chose the most iconic wedding venue: Lotte New York Palace Hotel. You know the Christmas tree in their courtyard if you’re strolling to go ice skating there at Rockefeller Plaza. Colleen wore a custom gown designed by Modern Trousseau (oh how I (Jen!) miss tying those bows during my days with Modern Trousseau!) that was complete with the most gorgeous bow back and topped with a high pony tail! AND … a matching dress for their pup completed their first dance moment there in the ballroom! Ben was so inspired by the florals and gorgeous chandeliers … a lovely backdrop for their live wedding painting! Needles to say, we’re thrilled to unveil their finished piece!
