The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NY Wedding | Ariana + Jon

Arrived at Duffield St. where Ariana and Jon are getting ready at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn. Street was busy as usual even though it was weekend. I personally love walking into busy bride’s hotel room, it feels alive, exciting and happy. And seeing familiar faces from VickyC5 NYC MUAH team makes it that much better.

At Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn, Ariana and Jon had a very busy morning from getting wedding ready to Chinese Wedding Door Games to Tea Ceremony (a Chinese tradition where the bride and groom pours tea to their families, including parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, and other elders). Then I rushed out of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn en route to Brooklyn Botanic Garden for Ariana and Jon’s wedding.

Florists from Oh Fleur NYC were all busy decorating The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the wedding ceremony, Ariana changed into her Sarah Seven wedding dress from her previous outfit “Hanbok” (traditional Korean outfit).

It was dark outside when Ariana and Jon’s wedding ceremony started at The Palm House, but that made it that much more romantic. The whole vibe inside The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden was warm with pink, peach candles along side delicate floral center pieces. Once the mood was set, decors were completed, the guests flooded into The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden in greens, blues, pinks and reds for Ariana and Jon’s wedding reception

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony.

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden.

I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies.

Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears. After driving around I found one spot few blocks away from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden entrance. Brooklyn Botanical Garden was busy with Lightscape preparation and installation which we were not allowed to photograph so we were left with very little options for wedding portrait backdrop, plus it was COLD and we were looking light! These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games.

These are important things to consider when you are planning for Winter wedding. I worked as quickly as possible with Ariana and Jon's first look and bridal party photos. Then we stayed inside for family photos since elders did not wanted to go outside which I totally don't blame. Then I quickly took Ariana and Jon outside for bit more couple's portraits then it was time for the wedding ceremony. Ariana and Jon's wedding ceremony held place at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but because it was an winter wedding we've lost all the light and I had to use my video lights but over all the ceremony was beautiful and Oh Fleur NYC did absolutely an amazing job with ceremony decor (floral/candles). The Palm House was empty again, OhfleurNYC as well as Brooklyn Botanical Garden staff were busy turning the room. Oh Fleur NYC's Jessica's talent was amazing her usage of floral, choice of colors and mixing the floral with tall candles were magical. Turned The Palm House into a beautiful and romantic garden. Warmth of candles, peach and pinks of flowers all blended so well turning the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanical Garden in to fairytale floral ballroom. Ariana and Jon attended cocktail enjoying their time with friends and family before their wedding reception at The Palm House.

Duffield St, Brooklyn on November 19 even though it's Saturday morning it was still very busy. But luckily I found street parking right on Duffield St in front of Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn which was where I needed to be for Ariana and Jon's wedding prep. Vicky from VickyC5 hair/makeup team was there beautifying the ladies, I went straight to flat lays of Ariana's wedding details such as rings, jewelry and her wedding invitations. I use ribbons, extra loose flowers to make the flat lays more fine art looking. Once all the details are done, my full focus goes to the bride Ariana and her ladies. Ariana and Jon were planning to do a Chinese Door Game at the hotel room, so as soon as Ariana was ready in her Hanbok (Korean Traditional Wedding Outfit) Jon and his groomsmen arrived at the door. With Ariana's bridal suite crowded with too many people Ariana's bridesmaids started to give instructions to the games that Jon and his groomsmen need to play in order to get through the second door so that Jon can meet/see his bride Ariana. While the games are happening outside Ariana's door one of the bridesmaid has her phone on FaceTime so that Ariana can see how the men are doing during all the door games. I of course had my second shooter inside the room with Ariana to get her reactions which was hilarious. After the door games, we then moved to a conference room of at Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn for Ariana and Jon's Chinese Tea Pouring Ceremony (this is Jon's Chinese side's wedding tradition where you pour tea to all the elders in the family). Once all the Chines and Korean wedding traditions are over, we all rushed to Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Traffic from Sheraton Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Botanical Garden was pretty bad, as usual. Once I arrived there of course was no street parking available near the entrance and parking lot for Brooklyn Botanical Garden was way too far for me to carry all the gears.
