SARA & CONOR

MARRIED | THE MANSION at NATIRAR, PEAPACK NJ

“Magical, lovely and earthy (in a colorful way),” were the words Sara used to describe her Natirar Mansion summer wedding. The refined details she paired couldn’t have detailed a more perfect manifestation of this style on her wedding day. From the florals, to her dress, the handfasting ceremony and iconic Natirar Mansion views, this wedding day was epic in every way.

I cannot say enough about the color! We have seen much of the neutral and blush trends happening in the wedding industry over recent year, but Sara wanted bold, bright and beautiful – and that is was she got! During hair and makeup, the bridesmaids all wore peach and pick floral robes from Natural Life, while Sara flaunted her fuschia lace trimmed robe. Karma Floral and Event Design created the most exquisite rainbow hued bridal bouquet for her finished with dahlias, ranunculus, anemones and mini daffodils. They also brought a whimsical ceremony space to life lining the aisle with what could only be described as “mini wildflower gardens” at the end of each row. The base of the arrangements trailed off into a delicate mossy forest floor that brought together the décor with the outdoor ceremony space and the deep rooted tradition that all the guests were about to witness. It was STUNNING. In addition to their formal ceremony, Sara and Conor also performed a handfast ceremony – an ancient Celtic ritual of literally “tying the knot.”

From meeting online, to finding they lived in the same neighborhood in Astoria, to the oversized chocolate Easter eggs Conor used to give Sara’s entire family and fake her out with an engagement ring inside, their love story is one of spontaneity, humor, joy and tradition. All of this was so evident on their wedding day and it was such a joy to be a part of. Congrats you two! I cannot wait to see where this journey continues to take you!
