Our newest blog is dedicated entirely to what many refer to
as the greatest city on Earth… New York. With songs written to celebrate its
glory by stars of the highest calibre, New York is home to some of the most
renowned landmarks on the face of the earth, and has a veritable plethora of
wedding possibilities.
Firstly, there are some absolutely breath-taking hotels to
stay in during your stay. Overlooking the iconic Madison Square Garden venue is
the legendary New Yorker hotel, a magnificent tribute to the days of silver
screen, and the era of Art Deco. Having played host to a list of superstars,
what better way to start your special day than being collected in a vintage
Bugatti from the spectacular lobby of this hotel?
Another huge benefit associated with New York is its world
famous link to the fashion industry. Whether the bridesmaids cannot agree on a
coordinated style, the groom is struggling to select his suit, or you cannot
find the rings you both adore, you will surely find what is needed around Fifth
Avenue, Times Square, Canal Street Market and of course Soho.
Home to so much musical history, and with an array of jazz
or blues bars, Broadway and much more, there is a cornucopia of live talent for
your reception, not forgetting Coney Island, famed for its world class
entertainment and theme park.
You could also rest assured that whatever you decided upon
for a wedding breakfast menu would be as enjoyable as any meal you've ever
tasted. The culinary options in new York are just too varied to list, but the
gourmet cuisine is truly haute.
But most importantly, the vital question lies in where you
would tie the knot. Black Pearl Weddings have decided upon our favourite 3
choices, which we would like to share with our readers.
1. Central Park. A park with as much character and
fame as anything else in New York, Central Park could easily host a ceremony
year round. In the summer, with its lush green backdrop and plentiful space,
alongside the unique Belvedere Castle, Central Park could yield some awe
inspiring wedding photographs; but perhaps winter is the most magical time to
marry there, with the whole park white under a blanket of snow, creating an
ethereal glow to the day, Central Park often hosts outdoor ice-skating in the
coldest season of the year, giving a truly memorable place a truly nostalgic
feel.
2.
Standing proudly atop Liberty Island is New
York’s magnificent Statue of Liberty, a triumphant symbol of hope and success,
two of the core sentiments guiding marriage. A wedding ceremony conducted on
one of the ferries or perhaps a yacht under her lady’s watchful gaze would be
as unique as the statue itself.
3.
The Chrysler Building, a skyscraper like no
other, with mind-blowing design detail and a hugely expansive view of the city,
one could almost feel like Grace Kelly standing at the top of the illustrious
tower in a wedding gown. One thing would be for sure, and that is that you
would literally feel on top of the world!
But with a choice as varied as New York, the sky’s the limit
when it comes to creating your wedding!
