No Hurricane Could Stop Us!

Pink Monkey Events believes that come rain, sleet, sun or snow nothing can stop your special day from being everything you dreamed of! This wedding is proof of this philosophy given that this one took place during Hurricane Irene. To make matters worse, the wedding was set to be outdoors so this torrential weather had the potential to have a serious damper on the event but we would not have that! We improvised and used chic black umbrellas to provide coverage from the rain during the outdoor ceremony and luckily these impromptu accessories added a playful yet unique touch. As for the reception, we moved the location indoors and used sleek gunmetal linens and crisp white floral centerpieces to dress the tables. Warm amber lighting and an abundance of candles were also used to set an intimate vibe in the room. We incorporated a NYC theme in their table numbers and menus to personalize the event to the couple. Although the decor was sophisticated, the party was all about fun! The cocktail party even allowed guests to play a game of pool together which kicked off this event in a special way. Later, the reception was followed by an after-party that included more dancing and yummy fun snacks for the guest to enjoy. Nothing could rain on this parade! Special thanks to Catherine Leonard Photography who went above and beyond by taking the challenge of coming out in this weather truly making them a one-of-a-kind vendor!

The Vacation Starts Here!

For this destination wedding we decided to take the invites to the next level to incorporate the playful island theme. We used three mini suitcases in crisp green and vibrant turquoise that each contained a different element to the invite. Our vision was that when the guest opened each suitcase, what was inside each time would be a fun surprise. The top suitcase contained the elegant, handmade invite revealing the incredible tropical location. Then as the guest continued to unpack their goodies, they discovered chic leather passport holders and travel essentials such as hand wipes, chapstick, sunblock, Airborne, Colgate wisps, individual packs of tissues and Listerine Pocket Packs in the second suitcase. It continues to get better from there when the bottom suitcase is opened to reveal a Brookstone N.A.P Travel Kit which included a lush sleep mask, neck pillow and ear plugs to keep the guests comfortable on their flight along with a great read. It was important for this specific bride and groom that their guests felt special and enthusiastic for this trip from the moment they received their invitation and these one-of-a-kind invites did just that!

A Beautiful Wedding Inside & Out

Abby & Dave’s wedding was beautiful in more ways then one. The love shared between the bride & groom and the love within the families made this wedding extra special. Our job at Pink Monkey Events is to focus on coordination and decor but the family and friends are the one element that is simply out of our control. We can make any wedding beautiful on the outside but without the love from the couple’s family and friends, a wedding won’t be beautiful on the inside also. Abby & Dave were so in love and come from such loving families that even without of the all the material aspects, this wedding would have been perfect. The venue, Angel Orensanz, is so spectacular that one would think decor would be easy for this magnificent space but that is not the case. It is quite the challenge to find the right decor to compliment this elaborate venue in a way that incorporates the bride & groom’s vision. For this event we used rich chocolate brown with creams and a touch of lush purple as the color palette. The decor made for a warm yet chic environment that worked perfectly in this unique space. The room was full of warmth, happiness and fun as a result of not only the right decor but the right party guests as well.

Trendy Yet Traditional

The venue, Tribeca Skyline Studios, offered a simple and sleek space which suited this event perfectly. The clean slate lend itself perfectly to some pops of color throughout using striking magenta with chic navy blue accents. The bride's love for orchids served as an inspiration for the beautiful color palette. The decor was simplistic yet elegant incorporating beautiful flowers such peonies and of course, orchids, in various shades of pink which added to the fun. The bride glowed in her elaborate Chinese dress during the traditional Tea Ceremony. We even recreated the cover of The New Yorker to serve as seating cards to include the couple's favorite city. Another personalized touch we loved was the custom runner created just for them. This wedding seamlessly blended current trends with tradition making for a truly special event!
