madeleine & anton...part I (fixing up the reception hall)

my dear friend madeleine married her man last saturday. the reception was held in a gorgeous manhattan penthouse loft overlooking the city. the white hall was filled with humble flowers in various vintage jars, vases, and glasses. succulents and simple candles accompanied the buds. her best friend, talented photographer kristi schiffman moonlighted as the florist, and also created the bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere. here are some of the photos of the set up.
